Nature Coast Family Fellowship Beliefs

Nature Coast Family Fellowship is a non-denominational Holiness Church organized to proclaim the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We follow the teachings of John Wesley. John Wesley was a priest in the Church of England in the 1700's and the founder of the Methodist movement. He added insight and emphasis on the assurance of salvation that believers can enjoy through the works of the Holy Spirit. 

John Wesley also taught about the entire sanctification of believers by which their hearts are made perfect in love for God and (to Love all brothers and sisters) toward all brothers and sisters.
John Wesley stressed that God has predestined all who believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life and those who reject God will receive eternal separation from God. God has given us as human beings true freedom to accept or reject this salvation. God offers grace to enable all persons to repent and believe; and that believers are secure spiritually, in Christ, based on continued faith and obedience to God.

Here at Nature Coast Family Fellowship we believe the Bible is God's written Word and the final authority for all Christian beliefs and practices. Therefore, our faith statement is to seek and express only what the Bible teaches.

The Apostle’s Creed is the foundation for many Christian Churches and is our belief.

Apostle’s Creed

We believe in God, the Father Almighty
Maker of Heaven and Earth
And in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried
On the third day He arose from the dead,
He ascended into Heaven,
And sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty
From thence He shall judge the quick and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Catholic Church*,
The communion of Saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.

*”Holy Catholic Church” refers to the Christian Church in general not the Roman Catholic Church
