14 These things I write unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly, 15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou ought to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1 Timothy 3:14-15
Why do churches exist? The Christian church exists, first and foremost, to worship God. All other activities must take second place.
Only when we place the primary emphasis on God and not on ourselves, our rights or our needs, do we please him and fulfill his design.
Surprisingly, when we worship God instead of seeking our own satisfaction, we feel full and happy.
The North Bergen Reformed Baptist Church seeks to worship God in an atmosphere of reverence and joyful solemnity. We do so because the living God into whose presence we come is: "majestic in holiness, fearsome in praise"..
"Without holiness no one will see the Lord". The Scriptures assure us that putting off habits that are sinful and putting on a lifestyle and disposition according to Christ is not optional.
We cannot proclaim Christ with our lips while denying Him with our lives. We cannot delight in God's wonderful promises if we refuse to obey His holy commandments.
All Christians should demonstrate the reality of what they claim to be through a life of sincere and constant, though imperfect, piety.
The principle of this piety is found in the immutable moral law of God, as summarized in the Ten Commandments, and exemplified in the perfect life of Jesus Christ.
The power to lead such a life of godliness comes through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Bible is not a book of myths nor can it be ignored as a relic of history.
The Bible is the Word of God relevant to all of life. It is the only book that provides answers to life's ultimate and most profoundly perplexing questions.
It provides the structure for us to understand our world, including all areas of thought and culture.
It teaches us how we should live within our family, in our career and in our leisure time.
The Bible provides the pattern of conduct for our churches. It speaks to man with divine authority in all dimensions and spheres of life.
In an era when many other organizations are replacing the local church to carry out religious or social functions, we maintain that the church that Jesus Christ established is essential and indispensable.
The church is the means God has established to accomplish God's ends. Through the church God's truth is preserved and proclaimed.
This proclamation is made mainly through preaching, by faithful men, and for the purpose of saving sinners and strengthening Christians.
The central message of the Scriptures is the testimony they give of the salvation of hell-deserving sinners through the person and work of Jesus Christ.
We believe and preach that Jesus Christ is the only God-Man and, through His life of perfect obedience and the substitutionary sacrifice that He Himself made, even unto death, as applied by the Holy Spirit in a sovereign way, Christ saves the lost and guilty sinner.
We also affirm, with equal conviction, that this salvation was planned from eternity and that men came into possession of the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life when God the Father called them mightily by His grace, enabling the sinner to repent of his sin and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Savior and Lord.
