A Polycarpian Statement of Faith
We, the fellowship of Solo Faith Church, stand upon the Scriptures as the living Word of God. We believe that true faith is not sustained by tradition or human invention, but by hearing the Word, and walking in obedience to what God has revealed (Romans 10:17).
We choose relationship with Christ over religiosity, conviction over convention, and obedience over adaptation to culture or custom.
1. The Authority of Scripture
We affirm that the Holy Scriptures are sufficient and authoritative for faith, doctrine, and godly living.
We do not build worship upon words, concepts, or practices that do not appear in Scripture, nor upon traditions introduced after the time of the apostles. For as Polycarp once stood firm, we also say:
“We follow what Christ and His apostles delivered not what later men added.”
2. The Nature of God
We believe in the one God of Israel, revealed through His Word, the Father who created all things, who spoke through the prophets, and who has made Himself known through His Son, Jesus the Messiah.
We do not seek to define God with philosophical terms or titles not found in Scripture, but rather we confess Him as He has revealed Himself to us by His Word.
“We affirm the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as revealed in Scripture, and we confess Jesus as fully divine and eternally one with God, we prefer to express our faith using biblical language only, rather than post-biblical terminology.”
3. Jesus the Messiah
We believe that Jesus is:
-
The promised Messiah
-
Born according to prophecy
-
The Word made flesh, God manifest in the flesh
-
The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
He lived, died, rose again on the third day, and now reigns at the right hand of God. He is our High Priest, our Shepherd, and our soon-coming King.
Our devotion is not to a season, a symbolic festival, or a later church tradition, but to Christ Himself as revealed in the Word.
4. Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe we are saved:
-
by grace
-
through faith
-
unto obedience and transformed living
This salvation produces relationship, not empty ritual. We do not measure righteousness by the observances of men, but by faith working through love and obedience to God’s Word.
5. Worship According to the Apostolic Pattern
Like Polycarp — Disciple of the Apostle John — we honor Christ through the biblical feasts, not from legalism or as empty ceremonies, but as Christ-centered remembrances that reveal:
-
His sacrifice
-
His resurrection
-
His redemptive work
-
His coming kingdom
We do not replace what God has established in His word, with traditions of the modern church.
We do not condemn others, but we remain steadfast in the pattern delivered to the saints before us.
6. The People of God
We believe in a community built not on institutional power, but on:
-
love
-
humility
-
accountability
-
discipleship
-
shared spiritual life
The church is not sustained by titles, hierarchy, or religious show, but by brothers and sisters walking together in Christ.
7. The Return of Christ
We believe Jesus will return, judge the living and the dead, restore all things, and establish His Kingdom. Therefore, we walk in holiness, hope, and faithfulness until that day.
Our Quartodeciman-Aligned Confession
And if we are ever pressed to abandon what we have received from Scripture in exchange for the customs of men, we answer as the faithful before us:
“We do not add to the Word of God, nor do we remove from it.
What we have learned from the apostles, we hold fast.
We worship Christ not according to invention
but according to the truth delivered once for all.”
This is our confession.
This is our faith.
This is our fellowship in Christ.

Called to This City: How Solo Faith Embodies the Spirit of Concord, NC
Every church has a story, but the story of Solo Faith Church is deeply intertwined with the people, neighborhoods, and ministries of Concord, North Carolina. As a Spirit-led, purpose-driven ministry, Solo Faith doesn’t just preach on Sundays—it builds, feeds, and equips the community Monday through Saturday. But to understand the church’s identity is to understand the city that shaped it.
This is how Concord and Solo Faith walk the same path.
🏙️ Rooted in the Heart of Concord
Located in one of North Carolina’s fastest-growing cities, Solo Faith reflects the same innovation and transformation that Concord’s City Planning Department envisions. The church’s focus on accessibility, service, and outreach complements Concord’s emphasis on smart growth and inclusive neighborhoods.
Solo Faith’s multi-use spaces for worship, mentoring, tutoring, and café-style fellowship mirror the community-centered approach of The Cabarrus Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, where innovation meets inclusion.
🤝 A Mission That Mirrors the County’s Call
At its core, Solo Faith is a ministry of response—responding to spiritual hunger, financial strain, mental health challenges, and broken family structures. That call aligns with Cabarrus County’s Human Services mission: to build a network of support for families in crisis.
Whether someone comes for groceries, guidance, or grace, the Solo Faith model offers a complete care approach—not unlike the Cabarrus Health Alliance, which addresses wellness across physical, emotional, and nutritional needs.
🙌 A Place for the Broken, the Called, and the Curious
Solo Faith believes that church should be for everyone—no background check, no performance review, no religious resume. This “come as you are” model resonates with the outreach of ministries like The Dream Center, which provides resources for addiction recovery, homelessness, and reentry services.
Likewise, local churches like The Refuge Church and Crossroads Church reflect similar calls to the wounded and unchurched. In this city, collaboration among ministries is the culture—not competition.
🧠 Teaching That Activates the Mind and Spirit
Solo Faith believes in spiritual depth without spiritual confusion. Its Bible-based teachings equip believers with real-world understanding—mirroring the kind of transformational education that groups like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Carolinas provide through mentorship.
By combining Scripture, leadership principles, and inner healing, the church equips young people and adults alike to walk in their identity and assignment.
💬 Communication That Listens First
Unlike traditional churches bound to business hours, Solo Faith offers Live Chat, online prayer, and digital booking for pastoral care. This openness mirrors civic resources like the City of Concord’s 3-1-1 support system, showing that ministry should be immediate, relational, and available.
🏛️ Investing in the City’s Future
Just as Concord’s Strategic Plan emphasizes faith-based collaboration, affordable space for nonprofits, and citywide volunteerism, Solo Faith offers room rentals, youth mentoring programs, and a nonprofit café designed to fund community service—all with zero public funding.
✝️ A Church That Looks Like the Kingdom
Diverse, relevant, and Spirit-filled, Solo Faith is exactly what Concord looks like when faith and love are lived out loud. It’s a church that believes in your calling, no matter your story—and that belief is deeply rooted in the values of the city it serves.
