What We Believe

These core beliefs reflect the foundational truths taught in the Bible and form the basis of all teaching and ministry at Watts Bar Community Church.

There is one true and living God—eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present. He reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God the Father loves, provides, leads, and judges with perfect justice. He freely offers grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human—the perfect representation of the Father in human form. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as the perfect sacrifice for all sin, and rose again on the third day. He ascended to heaven and will return one day. In the meantime, He lives in and through those who believe.

The Holy Spirit lives within every believer to inspire, empower, guide, and convict of sin. He gives spiritual gifts and abilities to equip the Church for its mission.

God has revealed Himself through Jesus Christ—who is the visible image of the invisible God—the Holy Scriptures, and through the beauty and complexity of creation.

The Bible is God’s inspired Word and the historical revelation of His work in humanity. It teaches, guides, corrects, and reveals God’s will. It is without error and fully trustworthy.

Salvation is God’s way of reconciling humanity to Himself. We receive it by acknowledging our need for God, turning from sin, believing in Jesus as Savior, and publicly confessing Him as Lord.

Baptism is a public declaration of the inward transformation that occurs when someone follows Christ. While not a means of salvation or a requirement for membership, it is a powerful next step in a believer’s journey.

Communion is a sacred symbol of Jesus’ sacrifice. The bread and cup represent His body and blood. Believers partake together during scheduled times of remembrance.

The Church is the body of Christ—diverse in people, united in purpose. God equips each believer with unique gifts and abilities to glorify Him and serve others in love.
