At Fairmont Grace Church our purpose for
meeting is to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. "We preach Christ Crucified"
is not merely a slogan; it is the sum and substance of all we say and do.
As the Apostle Paul said in I Cor. 2:2, "For
I determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified;"
we too have determined to know nothing, or esteem nothing as truly important,
save Jesus Christ (who He is), and Him crucified, (what He did). This glorious
message tells who God is and how He saves sinners on the grounds of the person
and work of the Lord Jesus Christ - the 'GOD-MAN'.
We meet together to worship Him, study His
word, sing His praises, and encourage one another in His Gospel.
We would like to invite you to worship Him with us.

Here
is the SUM and SUBSTANCE of what we believe...
|
|
THE
SCRIPTURES ALONE
The Bible is the Word of God. I Timothy 3:16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. It contains no error whatsoever. We do not derive our doctrine from men or denominations. The Bible is our rule of faith and practice. "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is on light in them." Isaiah 8:20. |
|
CHRIST
ALONE
Christ is the Gospel. He is both the subject and the object of the Gospel. It is about Him, Romans 1:1-3, and for his glory. Colossians 1:18, "Christ is ALL" are the words of scripture. Colossians 3:11. He is All in the scriptures, All to God, All in salvation, and All to every believer. The SURE and ONLY hope of every child of God is wrapped up in the person and work of Christ. Salvation is caused by the work of Christ, His effectual atonement for His people, Matthew 1:21, and experienced by knowing and bowing to the Lordship of Christ. John 17:2-3. |
|
GRACE
ALONE
Every aspect of salvation from the beginning (election) to the end, (glorification) is all of God's grace. Salvation is not what you do for God, but what He does for you. No part of salvation can be ascribed to man. To ascribe any part of salvation to the religious efforts, good works, or free will of man is to deny salvation by grace. "Salvation is of the Lord." Jonah 2:9. "By grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. |
|
FAITH
ALONE
Christ and His salvation is not received by doing, but by believing. "This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent." Anyone who trusts Christ for salvation will be saved. "The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:17. |
