We Believe
Knowing that some want to know what a church is all about prior to taking the time to visit in-person, we offer you this section to learn some of the basic elements of what DCA believes and practices? The following points highlight the foundational tenants one can expect and find in operation at DCA.
What We Believe
THE BIBLE
† The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative written Word of God.
THE TRINITY
† There is only one God, eternally existent in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the holy Spirit.
REPENTANCE
† Cleansing from sin is found only through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ
REGENERATION
† Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is an absolute essential requirement for personal salvation.
BAPTISM
† Water baptism is through complete immersion of the body.
REDEMPTION
† The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides physical healing through the prayer of faith.
HOLY SPIRIT
† The baptism of the Holy Spirit (according to Acts 2:4) is available to believers who seek and desire the infilling of His power and promise.
SANCTIFICATION
† The sanctifying power found through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within the life of the believer, enabling the Christian to live a holy life.
RESURRECTION
† The resurrection of both the saved and lost; the saved into everlasting life and the lost into everlasting damnation.
DEITY OF CHRIST
† The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, which includes His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His second coming in all His power and glory to rule over all the earth.
BLESSED HOPE
† The blessed hope - the rapture of the Church at His glorious reappearing.
