Our Beliefs
The King’s Bread Fellowship
God so loved the world! Christ laid down His life for us! Light for a dark world.
Every heart, created by God to be full of His love, is instead ruled by sin and rebellion toward Him because of the fall.
But He came to rescue us. Through the Cross, God is restoring lost men and women to Himself. The Lord Jesus Christ bore our sin and robed us with His righteousness.
In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself. He redeems lost men and women and makes us His children forever.

God
There is one God, who exists eternally in three distinct but equal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is unchangeable in His attributes. He is the almighty Creator, Savior and Judge who sustains and governs all things according to His sovereign will for His own glory.
Psalm 19, 103:19; Isaiah 40, 43:10-13, 44:24; Daniel 4:25; Malachi 3:6; Matthew 28:19-20; John 1:14;
Acts 5:3-4, 17:24-28; Hebrews 1:1-3; Ephesians 1:6; James 1:17.
The Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life of obedience to the Father. On the cross He died for our sins a substitutionary death, bearing God's punishment for us, and redeeming us by His death, thereby making complete atonement. He rose from the dead and in His resurrection body ascended into heaven where He is exalted as Lord of all. The church is His bride and body and He is her head; and He does not cease to intercede and advocate for her in heaven.
Isaiah 53:4-11; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1, 14, 18, 10:30; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:6-8; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3, 2:14, 5:7-9, 7:25, 10:14; 1 Peter 2:24.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has been sent from heaven to glorify Christ and to apply His work of salvation. He convicts sinners, imparts spiritual life and gives a true understanding of the Scriptures. He indwells all believers, imparting new abilities and gifts to them, and producing increasing likeness to Christ. He builds up the church and empowers its members for worship, service and mission.

The Bible
God has revealed Himself in the Bible, which consists of the Old and New Testaments alone. Every word was inspired by God through human authors, so that the Bible as originally given is entirely the Word of God, without error and fully reliable in fact and doctrine. The Bible alone speaks with final authority and is always sufficient for all matters of belief and practice.
Psalm 19:7-14, 119:105; Matthew 5:17-18, 28:18; Luke 19:46, 24:44; John 6:45, 16:13, 17:17;
Romans 1:16, 3:4, 10:13-17, 13:1; 1 Corinthians 2:12-14; 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 4:2; Jude 3; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 John 1:3, 5-6.
The Human Race
All men and women, being created in the image of God, have inherent and equal dignity and worth. Their greatest purpose is to believe, obey, worship and love God. As a result of the rebellious fall of Adam and Eve, every aspect of human nature has been corrupted and all men and women are without spiritual life, guilty sinners and hostile to God. Every person is therefore under the just condemnation of God and needs to be born again, forgiven and reconciled to God in order to know and please Him.
Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7; Genesis 2:7, 3:6-7, 3:12, 6:5; Psalms 14:1-3, 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27; John 3:5-6, 18, 5:40; Romans 3:10-19, 5:10, 8:6-7; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:1-3; Colossians 1:21-22; 1Timothy 5:6; Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 4:10, 19.
Salvation
Salvation is spiritual birth, and is entirely a work of God's grace and cannot be earned or deserved. It has been accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ and is offered to all in the gospel. God in His love and on the basis of the cross of Christ forgives sinners whom He calls, granting them repentance and faith. All who believe in Christ are justified by faith alone, adopted into the family of God and receive eternal life. This salvation is full and complete such that nothing additional is required.
Though the standing of the Christian before God is perfect because he is in Christ, sin yet resides in his body, and will not be eradicated in this earthly life. Therefore the Holy Spirit works a progressive sanctification wherein the Christian grows in grace through faith, becoming increasingly conformed to the image of Christ. This work of sanctification begins at salvation and culminates at glorification.
Because of the very nature of the divine gift of eternal life believers shall be kept saved forever. As beloved children of the heavenly Father, every believer will be subjected to the Father’s discipline to produce in him the fruit of the new birth. The Father will in the end present every one of his children holy and blameless and beyond reproach.
Psalm 103:12; John 1:12, 3:3-7, 16; Romans 3:10, 26, 4:16, 7:18, 8:14-17, 29-39; Galatians 4:4-7; Ephesians 2:4-10; Philippians 1:6; Colossians 1:22, 2:10; Titus 3:5; Hebrews 10:14, 12:4-11; 2 Peter 1:2-4.
The Church
The universal church is the body of which Christ is the head and to which all who are saved belong. It is made visible in local churches, which are congregations of believers who are committed to each other for the worship of God, the preaching of the Word, the recovery of true community, the administering of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, for pastoral care and discipline, and for prayer and evangelism. The local church is a family of believers served by elders—men filled by the Spirit who are called and gifted to protect, feed, and lead the church to
devotion and consecration to Christ.
Matthew 16:16-18; Acts 2:42-47, 4:32, 20:28; Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 1:20-23, 4:3-10; Colossians 1:18, 3:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:1-12; Titus 1:5-9; 1 John 4:20-21.
Baptism and the Lord's Supper
Baptism and the Lord's Supper have been given to the churches by Christ as visible signs of the gospel.
Baptism is a symbol and confession of our union with Christ and entry into his Church. Water baptism does not impart spiritual life.
The Lord's Supper is a commemoration of Christ's sacrifice offered once for all. It is a celebration by the community of believers of the redemption that God has brought in Christ. Its elements are symbols of Christ’s atoning death and the regeneration of the believer by the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 10:47-48, 16:32-33, 18:7-8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.
The Future
The Lord Jesus Christ will return personally and bodily in glory to consummate history and fully restore His cosmos. He will bodily raise the dead and judge the world in righteousness. The wicked will be sent to eternal punishment and the righteous will be welcomed into a life of eternal joy in fellowship with God. God will make all things new and will be glorified forever.
Matthew 24:15-25:46; John 14:1-3; Acts 15:16-17; Romans 8:19-23, 11:25-27; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23, 3:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; 1 Timothy 4:1-3; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Titus 2:11-14; Jude 6-7; Revelation 20:1-3, 11-15.

Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
