Shalom Church of God In Christ
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God.
We believe that there is only One God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God, which is in Christ, at His return.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ .
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.
We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in the present world.
Shalom Church Statement on Holy Matrimony
Shalom Church affirms our faith in the sanctity of holy matrimony. We believe marriage is a sacred covenant, ordained by God, to be between one biological man and one biological woman. This union reflects God’s design for family, love, faithfulness, and the blessing for future generations.

We affirm the sanctity of every human life as a precious gift from God. We believe that life begins at conception and is sacred from the womb to the tomb. Guided by God’s Word, we commit ourselves to protecting, cherishing, and advocating for wellness of life, while offering compassion, support, and hope to mothers, fathers, and families.
