Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, trustworthy and true, without error, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

  • We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)

  • We believe Jesus Christ is God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death that paid for our sin through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension/rising up to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1; Matthew 1:18,25; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:27-28) 

  • We believe that acceptance of Jesus Christ and the corresponding renewal of the Holy Spirit is the only path to salvation for lost/sinful men and women. (John 3:16; John 5:24; Titus 3:3-7)

  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who lives within and guides Christians, so they are enabled to live godly lives. (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Ephesians 1:13-14)

  • We believe in eternal life and that through belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. We believe that in rejecting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive eternal suffering in hell. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) 

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ that all believers are members of His body, the church. (Philippians 2:1-4)

OUR STORY

"We seek to be Kingdom minded in our efforts to love God

and love others in meaningful ways."  Pastor Jeff


Homecoming Sunday, September 29, 2019 launched a new vision and mission for Kernersville Friends Church.  We hosted city dignitaries, community members, friends and family for our "launch" service. Four months of preparation culminated in a prayer service that highlighted members of the Friends Church of NC and the Yadkin Quarter. 102 people prayed in unity for our vision, mission, leaders, and our new pastor.

​

VISION: GROWING THE KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST BY

LOVING GOD, LOVING OTHERS, AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

​

MISSION: REACH, TEACH, SERVE, AND GUIDE OTHERS INTO A

LOVING, PERSONAL, RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.

​

On June 2, 2019 the church welcomed Jeff Barnes as its new pastor.  "We are excited about the improvements to our campus, our increased attendance, and a new energy that the the Holy Spirit has sparked in our congregation." 

​

Kernersville Friends is a member of the Friends Church of North Carolina, a group of 29 churches connected by their unique Friends heritage and their common desire to see God's Kingdom grow.
