what we believe

The mission of Chantilly Bible Church is to make fully devoted followers of Christ who love God and love others. As a Bible Church, we have intentionally drawn our mission directly from commands given to us in Scripture. The first part is Jesus’s “great commission” to his followers:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

The second part is based on what Jesus’ recognized as the “great commandment:”

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37b-40)

This mission forms the basis for everything we do as a church.

Furthermore, our work to accomplish this mission is always done in the context of our core values. These values shape who we are and what we do as a church.

ROOTED IN THE WORD – Scripture is how we know and follow Jesus. God’s Word alone is our authority for what we believe, teach and do. We study and obey it, trusting the Spirit to transform our lives and equip us for good works. (Luke 24:27; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

DEVOTED TO PRAYER – We can accomplish nothing apart from God. Through prayer God aligns our mind, heart, and actions with His desires and works in our midst. By continually praising God, confessing sin, and asking for His help, we draw nearer to God and one another. (John 15:5; Ephesians 6:18; Philippians 4:6-7)

GROWING MORE LIKE CHRIST – It is the responsibility of every believer to be growing into a fully devoted follower of Christ, helping others to do the same. Discipleship is this intentional process of knowing Jesus and becoming more like Him. We know we are successful when we see the fruit of this process in our families, church ministries, communities, and wherever God places us. (Deuteronomy 6:5-9; Matthew 28:18-20)

LOVING LOST PEOPLE – We love lost people because God loves lost people. Therefore, we reach out to people across the street and around the world. Obeying God's commands, we reach others with the gospel by serving neighbors in their need, sending out those whom God raises up, and partnering with gospel-centered ministers and ministries. (Luke 19:10; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:13-17)

WELCOMING ALL CULTURES – We are one church of many cultures. The gospel breaks down all racial and ethnic divides to create a unified community in Christ. We intentionally welcome people from multiple cultures in our area and encourage cultural expression, while preserving unity among all the people God brings to our church. (Galatians 3:26-28, Revelation 5:9-10)

LIVING IN COMMUNITY – Christ-centered community is essential for spiritual growth. God created us to form intentional relationships that deepen our love for Christ and each other. We prioritize meeting together to encourage, serve, and submit to one another. (Hebrews 10:23-25; 1 Peter 4:8-10)
