The “Fundamentals of Faith” course is an essential ministry at Good News Church for anyone looking to understand the core doctrines of the Bible. While it serves as our primary preparation for baptism, it is also open to those who wish to refresh their knowledge of Christian theology or investigate the claims of Christ for the first time.
We live in a world of confusion, and we believe it is vital for every Christian to know what they believe and why. This course provides a structured and comprehensive overview of the Christian faith.
Course Content
Over the course of several weeks, we explore key topics including:
- The Word of God: Why we trust the Bible as our ultimate authority.
- God: His attributes, the Trinity, and His sovereign rule.
- Man and Sin: Understanding human nature and the consequences of the Fall.
- Jesus Christ: His person, His life, His atoning death, and His resurrection.
- Salvation: Repentance, faith, justification, and sanctification.
- The Church: The importance of the local church, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper.
- The Future: Death, judgment, and the eternal state.
Baptism and Membership
For those seeking to be baptized, this course is a prerequisite. We believe baptism is a public declaration of faith and an act of obedience to Christ. It marks the entrance into the visible church community.
This class also serves as a pathway to church membership. We believe that membership is not just a formality but a covenant commitment to walk together in love and holiness.
Who Should Attend?
- New believers preparing for baptism.
- Christians looking to join our church.
- Skeptics or seekers who want to know what Christianity is all about.
- Anyone wanting to deepen their theological understanding.
We invite you to sign up for the next cycle of classes. Come and build a solid foundation for your life on the rock of God’s Word.
