About Blacksburg ARP Church

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church*, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.

-edited by Archbishop Ussher in 1647

*The word Catholic, in the Apostle’s Creed, means “related to the church universal” and was the word used in the original version of the Creed. It does not mean the Roman Catholic Church, but the Church, The Body of Christ, as a universal fellowship of believers.

Mission

Vision

We believe in The One, True, Living GOD.
We believe this because the infallible WORD of GOD (the Bible) tells us this truth. We believe The Bible is the inspired WORD of The One, True, Living GOD.
Every day we commit sin, even unknowingly. When we get down to it, everyone is exactly the same as us…sinners, and totally depraved…corrupt, wicked, and perverted…it’s true.
Because GOD abhors sin, and deemed the penalty for sin is death, HE created a way for HIS chosen believers to be forgiven of their sins…HE sent HIS only SON JESUS to die on the cross to cover all believer’s sins.
Then, because GOD desired all humans to live eternally, GOD raised JESUS from the dead after three days, and elevated HIM to King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Chosen believers will live forever with GOD and JESUS, and non-believers will live forever in the lake of fire as punishment for their sins.
If you agree you are a sinner like us, and you believe in your whole heart JESUS is the only SON of The One, True, Living GOD, and was raised from the dead, you are a believer…yes, you. You have been chosen before the foundation of the earth by GOD, according to HIS eternal purposes…this is the gift that cannot be returned, or denied.
There is nothing on the earth, above it, or below it that can change this. You have been chosen by our Creator, and nothing and nobody can change your forever, eternal existence with GOD and JESUS.
