Ladies Fellowship Tea...
On June 5th, Alicia Enquist hosted a Ladies Fellowship Tea Party in her home. Ladies from Grace Bible Church, Rocky Mount Virginia brought their daughters to enjoy a delicious breakfast and wonderful fellowship.
Fellowship among the younger and older ladies filled the house with a buzz of chatter.
When asked how often the ladies of Grace Bible Church would like to get together, all the ladies were in agreement that at least once a month would be a great start. The next Ladies Tea Party is already in the planning and more information will be posted as we have more details.

Statement of Faith
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the eternal, inerrant, and infallible Word of God, and the final authority for all that governs our faith and walk before Him. Consisting of sixty-six books, from Genesis to Revelation, as listed in the Old and New Testaments. That it was written by men under the inspired of God to reveal His plan for mankind. (Gen.1: 1; Ps. 19:7-11; 119:89, 105, 130, 160; Prov. 30:5-6; Isa. 8:20; Lu. 16:31; 24:25-27, 44-45; Jo. 5:39, 45-47; 12:48; 17:17; Acts 1:16; 28:25; Rom. 3:4; 15:4; Eph. 6:17; 11Tim. 3:16-17; 1Pet. 1:23; 11Pet. 1:19-21; Rev. 22:19.)
The Godhead
We believe that there is only one true living God, who existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each co-equal in power, glory, holiness, perfection. Who is the maker and sustainer of life, and the Father of all that is created in heaven and on earth. That God is all knowing, all-powerful, and all present. That He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Gen.. 17:1; Ex. 15:11; Duet. 6:4; Ps. 83:18; 90:2; Jer. 10:10; Mt.28:19; Mk.12:30; Jn. 4:10-12; 24; 10:30; 15:26; 17:5; Acts 5:3-4; Rom.11:33; 1Cor. 2:10-11; 8:6; 12:4-6; 2Cor. 13:14; Eph. 2:18; 4:6; Phil. 2:5-11; 1Tim. 1:17; 1Jn. 5:7; Rev. 4:11)
Jesus Christ the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man. That He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, that all who put their faith in Him are justified by faith on the ground of His shed blood, and not by our works of righteousness, and that our works are the result of our new life in Christ. We believe He arose from the dead according to the scriptures, and now sits at the right hand of the throne of God as our great High Priest. We believe He is coming again to receive His Bride the Church and to establish His Kingdom on earth. (Is. 7:14; 9:6; Lu. 1:35; Jn. 1:1-2, 14; 2Cor. 5:19-21; Gal. 4:4-5; Phil. 2:5-8; Acts 2:18-36; Rom. 3:24-25; Eph. 1:7; 1Pet. 1:3-5; 2:24; Matt. 28:6-7; Acts 1:9-11; Rom. 8:34; 1Jn. 2:1-2)
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, and empower every believer, and to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. That He is the Divine agent in the new birth, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ which takes place at the point of conversion, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of salvation. (Matt. 3:11; 28:19; Lu. 1:35; 3:16; 24:29; Jn. 1:33; 3:5-6; 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:8-11, 13; Acts 5:30-32; 11:16; Rom8:9, 14, 16, 26-27; 1Cor. 12:12-14; 2Cor. 3:6; Eph. 1:13-14; 2Thes. 2:7, 13; Heb. 9:14; 1Pet. 1:2)
Man’s Lost Condition
We believe that because of man’s sin he is eternally lost. That man was created in God’s image and likeness, but because Adam willingly sinned against God, he fell from his sinless state, becoming forever separated from Him. Resulting in all mankind being in a condemned state and unable to redeem themselves. (Gen. 3:1-6; Rom.18, 20, 28, 32; 3:10, 19; 5:12, 19; Gal. 3:22; Eph. 2: 1, 3.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone. That it is a free gift from God and cannot be earned. That each person is called to repent of their sin and to put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, and shed blood for their redemption from sin. That through Christ’s atoning blood we are justified and declared righteous before God, and at that moment adopted into the family of God, and declared a child of God. ( Jn. 1:12; 3:3, 8; 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 1:7; 2:1, 8-10; Col. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; Tit. 3:5 )
Sanctification
We believe in sanctification; that every believer is set apart by God for the purpose of holiness; that the grace of God instructs us to deny ungodliness, and worldly desire, and to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in this present age. That we are to remove from our lives those things that the Bible says are not pleasing to God. We believe that at the point of salvation we are sanctified positionally - complete in Christ, but experientially are being renewed into His image day by day as we submit to His Lordship. (Jn. 17:17; 1 Cor. 6:19-20; 2 Cor. 3:18; Col. 1:10; 1 Thes. 4:3)
Eternal Salvation
We believe in the eternal salvation of the believer. That he who is in Christ is a new creature. That we are positionally seated with Christ in the heavenly places. That God has given us the Holy Sprit as a seal of our inheritance in Christ. (Jn. 1:12; 2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 1:13)
Satan
We believe that Satan is a created but fallen angel, the cause of the fall of man, the author of sin, and the enemy of God. That because of man’s rebellion and pride mankind is now held captive by Satan to do his will. That he is the father of lies, and that the whole world lies in his power. But in Christ we are set free from Satan’s power. That Christ has given us the authority over the Demonic world in His name. That we are to submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from us. (Gen. 3; 2 Cor. 4:4; 10:3-5; Eph. 1:20-21; Col. 1:13; 1Jn. 5:18-19; Rev. 12:9, 11)
The Church
We believe that the Church is made up of all those who are true born again believers in Christ Jesus. That it is the universal body of Christ, and His chosen bride in this world. That it is the pillar and support of the truth, For the fellowship of those who have covenanted together for personal spiritual edification in their walk of faith and obedience, and equipping them for service in the Kingdom of Heaven, and fulfilling the great commission. We believe that the church is to be governed by a plurality of elders, with differing jurisdictional positions. And that there are only two Biblical offices of the church - Elder / Overseer and Deacon / Server. (Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-47; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:11; 5:23; 1 Tim. 1:15)
