Happy Valley Chapel is a place where God's love abounds and His Word is taught. Happy Valley believes:
God the Father
God is trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He is our Creator and the creator of the entire universe. He is eternal and present everywhere. He is almighty and all-knowing. He is a God of love, mercy, justice, and holiness. Jesus Christ
He is one with the Father and with the Hol
y Ghost, but for our redemption, He became man. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. He was without sin. He died to save us, but arose from the dead and is now ascended to Heaven, where He is at the right hand of God, interceding for us. We look for His return in power and majesty to set up a millennial kingdom. At the last, He will judge the world in righteousness. The Holy Spirit
He is one with the Father and the Son. He is a person and is God’s agent in convincing sinners of sin. He regenerates believing sinners, and sanctifies consecrated Christians. He magnifies Christ in the lives of believers and energizes them to live victoriously. The Bible
The Bible is God’s infallible Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit. We believe it to be a sufficient rule for faith and practice, apart from other man-made rules and regulations. We urge our preachers to preach it, and our people to study and live it. Sin
Sin is two-fold.
1. Willful disobedience to God’s laws.
2. The evil twist and corruption in human nature. So all men, Christ excepted, are sinful by nature and sinners by practice, and therefore are in need of redemption, since the “wages of sin is death.”
Salvation
Redemption has been made possible by Christ’s atoning death on the cross of Calvary. By His death and resurrection, Christ has won a four-fold salvation for us.
1. Redemption in which we are forgiven of all sins and baptized by the Spirit into the Body of Christ.
2. Entire sanctification in which we are baptized by the Holy Spirit and cleansed from the carnal mind.
3. Growth in grace after sanctification in which we walk in new light as it is given, making us more and more like Jesus.
4. Immortality in body and soul. Ordinances
We believe that Christ and His apostles ordained two ordinances to be practiced by His church: Water baptism and the Lord’s supper. We insist on no exclusive method or mode of baptism or of taking the Lord’s supper. “Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.” These ordinances are outward symbols of the inner life, faith and hope of believers. The Church
The church is more than a denomination. It is composed of true believers in Jesus Christ. Christ is the Head and the husband of the Church. Believers should meet together in local assemblies for the worship of God and Christian fellowship. The Church has been commissioned by Christ to take the gospel to every creature. The Lord’s Day
We keep the first day of the week as the Lord’s day or Sabbath, because Christ arose from the dead on the first day of the week and the early church kept this day in commemoration of God’s finished plan of redemption. We should keep it as a day or rest and worship. The Hereafter
The Bible teaches that believers shall have eternity with Christ in a Holy Heaven. It also teaches that the wicked shall be judged and sentenced to an eternity of perdition. All this we firmly believe.
