Inerrancy
We believe in the inerrancy of God's Word, the Trinity, the sovereignty of God, the substitutionary atonement of Christ, His virgin birth, death and literal resurrection, His premillennial return, and the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God and is received by man only through personal faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-10); a believer is secure in Christ forever, and is called to live a holy life.
Membership
Membership at NorthWest is open to those who have trusted Christ for their eternal life, who are in complete agreement with the Articles of Faith, who are willing to submit to the Elder leadership in the Church and who complete the Membership Class.
Please contact the church office at 281.376.1110 or contact us if you are interested in participating in the next Membership Class.
Ordinances
We believe that Christ instituted the ordinances of water baptism and the Lord's Supper which are to be observed by believers until His return (Matthew 28:19-20; I Cor. 11:23-26).
We believe that by water baptism the believer is publicly identified with the Savior; that the mode should be a matter of the individual's choice; that infants of believing parents may be dedicated to the Lord, but not baptized.
We believe that the Lord's Supper is a memorial of Christ's death, the elements being symbols of His body and blood. We believe that every Christian has the right to partake of the elements of the Lord's Supper, but that participation should always be preceded by solemn self examination.
