WHAT WE BELIEVE

EVERY CHURCH MUST KNOW WHAT THEY ARE FOR AND WHAT THEY STAND AGAINST. 

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths." —2 Timothy 4:3-4 ESV

​

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." —Galatians 1:8-9 ESV

​

"He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound[a] doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it." —Titus 1:9 ESV

BELIEFS & DOCTRINES

Life Church is built firmly on the TRUTH of Jesus and we submit ourselves to it. A quick snapshot looks like this:

THE GOSPEL

Col 1:15-20

The Gospel, as explained previously, is the Good News that God himself in Christ has rescued us from sin and restored us to right relationship with Him. 

The Gospel is:

  • Initiated by God, in grace

  • Substitutionary 

  • Participatory

  • Individuals & a Kingdom

  • Spirit-filled

  • For ALL who will call

Salvation is the word the Bible uses when we talk about how an individual experiences the transformative power of the gospel.

Salvation is seen throughout the entire story of the Bible and is at the very core of the heart of God: the redemption & deliverance of those who are lost. 

SALVATION

John 3:16

THE BIBLE

2 Tim 3:16

We believe in the Holy Scripture as our first and absolute authority.

We believe the Bible (composed of Protestant Old and New Testaments) to be both true, authoritative, and infallible. The Trinitarian God has divinely inspired the original authors to pen them.

THE CREEDS

2 Thess 2:15

We also believe in and submit ourselves to the orthodox creeds of the Christian faith, reaching as far back into history as we possibly can, to be united in belief with Jesus' earliest followers. Though, unlike scripture, these are NOT INFALLIBLE.

The Apostles' Creed

The Nicene Creed

The Chalcedonian Creed

The Athanasian Creed
