What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of CrossPointe Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

He is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

Man is made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude separates an from God.

the Bible is God's Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

We believe that you can know God personally. Salvation is a gift from God to man. man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. it is also a step of obedience based on God's commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to fulfill all righteousness.

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation as long His faith continues. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God and not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security.

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Son as God. he is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. he provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The christian seeks to live under His control daily.
