Mount Holly Church believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired, and that it is the written Word of God. We've adopted the following Declaration of Faith as our standard and official expression of our doctrine.
- The Bible
- Salvation
- Water Baptism
- Holy Communion
We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible and that it is God's Word to us. It is the error-free book of the church.
We believe salvation is the deliverance from sin and that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We believe repentance is commanded of God for all and is necessary to forgive sins.
We believe in water baptism, by immersion, as a symbol of the cleansing power of the Blood of Christ, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Water baptism is the next step after accepting Christ's gift of salvation.

We believe in Holy Communion as a reminder of the sacrifice Jesus made. We eat the bread, signifying the body of Christ that was broken for us, and drink from the cup, signifying the blood of Jesus that was poured out for forgiveness and love.
