Our Beliefs

At Pendleton Baptist Church, our beliefs are centered on the authority of the Bible and the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We are a Bible-teaching Baptist church committed to historic Christian doctrine, sound theology, and practical faith lived out in everyday life.

We welcome anyone searching for a church in Pendleton, Indiana, whether you are new to faith, returning to church, or looking for a place grounded in Scripture.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and sufficient Word of God. It is our final authority for faith, doctrine, and daily living. Every sermon, class, and ministry is rooted in careful teaching of Scripture so that believers grow in knowledge and spiritual maturity.

God

We believe there is one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is holy, loving, just, and sovereign over all creation.

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again bodily from the grave. Salvation is found in Christ alone through faith alone, not by works, religion, or personal effort.

Salvation

We believe every person needs forgiveness and a new life through Jesus Christ. Salvation is a gift of God’s grace received by repentance and faith. Those who trust in Christ are forgiven, made new, and promised eternal life.

If you are asking, “What is a Christian?” A Christian is someone who has personally trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior and follows Him.

The Church

We believe the church is a community of believers who gather to worship God, learn His Word, encourage one another, and share the Gospel with the world. The local church exists to help people grow spiritually and live faithfully in their homes, workplaces, and community.
