What Does This Church Believe?
Your word is a lamp for our feet, a light for our path. Psalms 119:105

Technically, the answer to this question is: "The Christian Churches believe the Bible".

We don't have any creeds, doctrinal statements, rule books, or any other documents piled on the top of the Bible.

So, if you have been looking for a church that believes and practices the Bible's principles, rejoice! You have found what you are looking for! But most people would like more specific information than that, so here are some specific statements that should help:

We believe…
• That Jesus Christ is the one and only son of God, and that he died and arose from the dead. (I Corinthians 15:1-8, Hebrews 1:1-3)

• That the Bible is the inspired word of God: a lamp for our feet, and a light to our path. (II Timothy 3:16, Psalms 119:105)

• That every person - regardless of their past, race or social standings - has great worth as a creation of God, and is therefore of great worth to us. (John 3:16)

• That all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

• That forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to all who take Christ as their Lord and Savior. (Acts 4:12 )

• That those who recognize Christ as their Lord will repent of sin, publicly acknowledge their faith in him, and be baptized into him. (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38 , Romans 6:1-4)

• That the church is the body of Christ on earth, and that it is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and exists to reach the lost and strengthen the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-16)

For those who need more information, please feel free to email us at minister@mid-lakes.org or to talk to any of the teachers or staff, or call the church office the telephone number is (352) 343-9020. Also, our minister Doug Dykstra, teaches a class called "3M" (Making Membership Meaningful) from time to time, which gives a lot of information about the church and our beliefs. Watch the bulletin or call the office to find out when the next class will meet.
