Countryside Fellowship Church is home to many in Wise Country, including Decatur, New Fairview, Rhome, and Justin.
At Countryside Fellowship, our mission is to create a welcoming space where worship engages the heart, soul, and mind. A place where everyone feels at ease, the weary find spiritual comfort, and those who have stumbled receive a helping hand.
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally inspired; that it is truth without any admixture of error for its matter; and therefore is, and shall remain until the end of the age, the only complete and final revelation of God to Man; the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.
By "Holy Bible," we mean the collection of sixty-six books, from Genesis to Revelation, which, as originally written, not only contains and conveys the Word of God but is also the very Word of God.
By "inspiration," we mean that the books of the Bible were written by holy men of old, who moved the Holy Spirit in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally and verbally inspired and free from error, as no other writings have been or ever will be inspired.
II Tim. 3-16-17; II Pet. 1;19-21;Acts 1;16;28:25;Ps. 19;7-11;119;89;119; 160; 119;105;119;130; Luke 16;31; 24;25-27; 24;44-45; Jn. 5:39; 5;45 - 47; 12;48; 17;17;Isa. 8;20; Eph. 6;17; Rom. 3:4; 15:4; Prov. 30:4-5; Pet. 1:2-3; Rev. 22:19
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of the heaven and earth, inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the Godhead, there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
Ex. 15:11; 20:23; Gen. 17:1; I Cor. 8:6; 12:4-6 ; 12:4-6; 2:10-11; Eph. 4:6;2:18; Jn 4;24; 17;5; 10:30;15;26; Ps. 147;5; 83;18;90;2; Jer. 10;10; I Tim. 4;17; Rom. 11:33; Mark 12;30; Matt. 28;19; Acts 5;3-4; I Jn. 5:7; 2 Cor. 13;14; Phil. 2:5-6; Rev. 4;11
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person equal with God the Father and God the Son and of his exact nature; that He was active in the creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world, He restrained the evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of sin, of judgment, and righteousness; that He bears witness to the truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent of the new birth; and that He seals guides, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believers.
Jn. 14:16; Matt. 28:1-19; Heb. 9;14; Jn. 14;26; Lk. 1:25; Gen. 1;1-3; II Thess. 2;7; Jn. 16:8-11; Jn 15:26; Acts 5:30-32; Jn 3:4-6; Eph. 1:13-14; Matt. 3:11; Mark 1:18: Lk. 3;16; Jn. 1;33; Acts 11:16; Lk. 24;49; Jn. 16;13; Rom. 8:14: II Thess 2;13; I Pet. 1;2; Rom. 8:26-27
We believe that Satan was once holy and enjoyed heavenly honors, but through ambition to be the Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angles; that he is now the malignant prince of the powers of the air and the unholy god of this world. We hold him to be man's tempter, the enemy of God and Christ, the accuser of the saint, the author of all false religions, the chief power behind the present apostasy, the lord of the anti-Christ, the author of all powers of darkness however already designed to final defeat at the hands of God's Son and to the judgment of eternal justice in hell, a place prepared for him and his angels.
Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek 28;14-17; Rev. 12;9; Jude6;11;2; Pet. 2;4; Jn. 14;30; I Thes. 3:5; Matt 4;1-3; I Pet. 5:8; Zech 1;3; Jn. 3:8; Matt. 13;25; 37-39; Lk. 22:3-4: Rev. 12:10; 2 Cor. 11:13-15: Mk. 13:21-22: 1 Jn. 4:3:11 JN. 7:1 Jn. 1;22: Rev. 13:13-14: 2 Thess 2: 8-11: Rev. 20-10: Matt. 25:41
We believe that Jesus Christ was miraculously begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was born of a woman, and that He is the Son of God, and God the Son.
Gen. 3;15; Isa. 7;14; Matt. 1:18-25; LK. 1;35; Mk. 1;1; Jn 1;14; Psa. 27; Gal 4;4 1 Jn 5;20; I Cor. 15:47
We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new birth is a new creation in Jesus Christ; that instantaneous and not a process; that in the new birth, the dead in trespasses and sin is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God; that the new creation is brought about in a manner above our comprehension, not by culture, not by character nor by the will of man, but wholly and solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the Gospel: that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits or repentance and faith and newness of life.
Jn. 1:12-13; 3:3; 6:8; II Cor. 5:17, 19; Lk. 5:27; 1 Jn. 5;1: Acts 2;41; 16;30-33; II Pet. 1;4; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2;1; 5:9; Col. 2;13; Gal. 5;22
We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in the water of a believer in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, with the authority of the local church to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem of our faith in the crucified, buried, and resurrected Savior with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life; that is a prerequisite to the privilege of a church relation and to the Lord's Supper in which the members of the church, by the sacred use of bread and wine, are to commemorate together the dying love of Christ, always preceded by careful self-examination.
Matt. 3;6; 3:16; 28:19-20; Jn. 3:23; Acts 2;41-42: 8:36-39: Rom. 6:3-5: I Cor. 11:23-28; Col. 2;12
We believe in and accept the sacred Scriptures upon these subjects at their face and full value. Of the Resurrection, we believe that Christ rose bodily on the "third day according to the Scriptures," that He then ascended "to the right hand of the throne of God": that He alone is our "merciful and faithful high priest in things about God: "that this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven"- bodily, personally, and visibly: that the "dead in Christ shall rise first"; the living saints "shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump," "that the Lord shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and that "Christ shall reign a thousand years in righteousness until He put all enemies under His feet: Matt. 28;6-7; Lk. 24:39; Jn. 20:27; I Cor. 15:4: Mk. 16:6; Lk. 24: 2-6: Acts 1:9-11: I Tim. 2:5; Jam. 5:8; Heb. 9:28; 5:9-10; I Cor. 15:42-44; 15-52; Ps 72;8; Isa. 9:6-7; 32:1
