what we believe

Hyde Park Baptist Church is a Church that believes in the Bible. We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the Words of scripture. Therefore, we believe that the Bible is a perfect book, serving as our ultimate authority in all matters of life.

HPBC is a church that is on Mission with God: Impacting our community, our country, and the rest of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; this magnificent and only God and creator of the universe is one. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become Savior of the lost world.        

We believe that Mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own efforts.

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of Sin. Therefore, Salvation occurs only when a person places his or her faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his or her sin. We believe this is the only way to real life here and Eternal Life in heaven.

We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God through the actions of worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and prayer. Loving God and Loving People.
