we believe

We believe in God’s Truth. We love God’s Truth. We long to be followers of Jesus Christ who know His Truth deeply, live His Truth faithfully, and proclaim His Truth powerfully. As leaders, we feel deeply our high calling and profound responsibility as shepherds over Christ’s Body called Mt. Austin MBC. We strive to be prayerful, humble, and diligent in our commitment to nourish Christ’s Body with Truth, protect Christ’s Body with Truth, guide Christ’s Body with Truth, correct Christ’s Body with Truth, equip Christ’s Body with Truth, empower Christ’s Body with Truth, and send Christ’s Body with Truth.

​

We believe there is only One True God: the living, eternal, infinite, unchanging, sovereign God of all glory who has and will always exist as three co-equal and co-eternal, perfectly united yet distinct persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

​

We believe God the Father, Creator of the universe and all that is in it, the eternal and infinitely exalted Lord over all creation, rules His universe in absolute sovereignty, directing and working all things according to the counsel of His own will, being subject to none, influenced by none, absolutely independent, doing as He pleases, only as He pleases, always as He pleases without sin.

​

We believe on this Sovereignty of God rests the believers greatest comfort knowing that God is ultimately controlling all beings, things, and events for His glory and the good of those who love Him displaying for all ages and throughout the cosmos the infinite majesty of His mercy for the ever increasing wonder and joy of His elect.

​

We believe the Son of God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, in the fullness of time, was sent by the Father, conceived sinless by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, thereby joining His Divine nature with sinless human nature, so that He was and is Jesus Christ fully God and fully man. When Christ joined His divine nature with human nature, taking on flesh, He surrendered only the prerogatives of Deity while retaining the full essence of Deity freely accepting and operating within the finite limitations of humanity, walking and working always in the power of the Spirit. His fully Divine fully human nature is forever inseparable.

​

We believe it was the Holy Spirit who was the active agent in Jesus Christ's conception, in the powerful ministry of John the Baptist, in the miracles of Christ and His authority over demons, always confirming the truth of Christ's words and the truth of Christ's person.

​

We believe Jesus, following His resurrection and ascension back to heaven, poured out the Holy Spirit upon the world in an unprecedented way. The Spirit is now globally active glorifying Jesus Christ, powerfully testifying to Him as God's Son and humanity's only Savior, convicting the world of sin, and bringing many to saving faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit is at work within the elect: coming to them while dead in sin giving them life, illuminating their minds to see the truth of Christ as Savior, birthing within them faith in Christ, imputing to them the righteousness of Christ unto salvation, living within believers testifying to them that they are children of God, gifting them to build-up the body of Christ, growing them in the character of Christ, empowering them to be witnesses for Christ to the world, and sealing them secure in Christ until His return and their eternal glorification.

​

We believe it is the sovereign God before whom mankind is responsible, and when in sin, justly condemned.
