All about Stony Point Christian Church

About Us

Stony Point Christian Church is a place where people can meet Jesus,  engage in a life-giving community, and everyone is welcome. We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts, and use them for God's glory.  

We are a church with a rich history.  We are the oldest Protestant Fellowship in Indiana. Organized in 1798 as "Silver Creek Baptist Church", our roots go ten years before Charlestown itself was created and eighteen years before Indiana achieved statehood!

While we have a rich history, our love is building a vibrant fellowship.  At Stony Point, we laugh, love, cry and share together as we follow our risen Lord.  We seek to be a place where everyone can feel loved and, more importantly, find salvation.

We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings.  Sunday School is at 10 am and Worship is at 11 am.

Core Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of Stony Point Christian Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

 

The Bible

We believe the Bible (both the Old and New Testament) is the infallible Word of God. It is our only rule of faith and practice. We have no other creed, no other doctrine. We believe the 66 books of the Bible are: “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). “inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

 

God

We believe Scripture when it declares, “in the beginning God” (Genesis 1:1). We understand this to mean God is eternal in nature. Nothing made God. He always has existed; and always will. We believe there is only one true God who, in the beginning, created the sun, the moon, the stars, and the planets. He created our world and everything in it (John 1:3). He created man in His image to enjoy fellowship with God for all eternity.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the Living God” (Matthew 16:16). He is God (John 1:1), in the flesh (John 1:14), who came from heaven to redeem fallen man. He is the Messiah, the Savior of the world, who died on a cross to save us from the penalty of sin. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me” (John 14:6).

 

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is the indwelling presence of God who marks us as Christians (Ephesians 1:13). He is given as a gift to all who repent and are baptized (Acts 2:38). He empowers us to accomplish works of service (1 Corinthians 12:7). He is the Helper sent by God that we might walk in such a way to bear faithful witness (John 15:26-27). Through Him we are able to bear godly fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22).

 

Salvation

We believe a person is saved by God’s love and mercy, by God’s grace. Nothing man can do would earn him the salvation of God. It is a free gift from God attained through faith (Ephesians 2:8). In receiving this gift of grace, an individual will respond in faith. (James 2:14-26)

Hear the Gospel (Romans 10:17)

Believe in Jesus (John 3:16, Acts 16:31)
