Who We Are

We welcome you to the North Waverly Chapel (NWC), a part of the body of Christ, where our mission is to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission as we win, build, equip, and serve.

We thank you for this opportunity to introduce you to the North Waverly Chapel and trust that God will lead you to the place He has for you in the body of Christ.

Our History...

Founded in 1895 as a community church, the North Waverly Chapel is Bible-believing, Bible-preaching, and with God’s help, a Bible-practicing church. Although a non-denominational church, we are affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), an evangelical organization dedicated to spreading the gospel around the world.

1.  The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men.  They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.¹  (¹II Peter 1:20-21 and II Timothy 3:15-16).

2.  There is one sovereign God,² who is infinitely perfect,³ existing eternally in three persons:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.⁴  (²Deuteronomy 6:4, ³Matthew 5:48, ⁴Matthew 28:19)

3.  Jesus Christ is true God and true man.⁵  He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.⁶  He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust,⁷ as a substitutionary sacrifice,⁸ and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.⁹  He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures.¹⁰  He is now at the right Hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest.¹¹  He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace.¹²  (⁵Philippians 2:6-11, ⁶Luke 1:36-38, ⁷I Peter 3:18, ⁸Hebrews 2:9, ⁹Romans 5:9, ¹⁰Acts 2:23-24, ¹¹Hebrews 8:1, ¹²Matthew 26:64)

4.  The Holy Spirit is a divine Person,¹³ sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer,¹⁴ and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.¹⁵ (¹³John 14:15-18, ¹⁴John 16:13 and Acts 1:8, ¹⁵John 16:7-11) 

5.  Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God:¹⁶ he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death.  All men are born with a sinful nature,¹⁷ are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.¹⁸ The portion of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment;¹⁹ and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.²⁰ (¹⁶Genesis 1:27, ¹⁷Romans 3:23, ¹⁸I Corinthians 15:20-23, ¹⁹Revelation 21:8, ²⁰Revelation 21:1-4)

6.  Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.²¹ (²¹Titus 3:4-7)

7.  It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly,²² being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.²³  This is both a positional and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.²⁴ 
(²²I Thessalonians 5:23, ²³Acts 1:8, ²⁴Romans 6:1-14)

8.  Provision is made through the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body.²⁵  Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age^.26  (²⁵Matthew 8:16-17, ²⁶ James 5:13-16)

9.  The Church consists of all those who repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit.  Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church,²⁷ which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations.²⁸ (²⁷Ephesians 1:22-23, ²⁸Matthew 28:19-20)

10.  The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.²⁹  (²⁹ Acts 2:41-47)

11.  There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life;³⁰ for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.³¹  (³⁰I Corinthians 15:20-23, ³¹John 5:28-29) .

12.  The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will be personal and visible.³²  This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.³³  (³²Revelation 1:7, ³³Titus 2:11-14)
