Statement of Faith (Sample)
About God
We are a Christ-Centered church that is dedicated to loving God with all our heart, mind and soul and to
loving our neighbor as ourselves.
We believe there is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the
Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians
4:4-6, Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16)
About The Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (2 Timothy 3:15-
17)
About Sin and Salvation
We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan.
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Only through God’s saving grace and work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued,
reconciled and renewed. (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)
About the Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the
gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of
Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4,
37-39; Romans 6:3-4)
About Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and
worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark
12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again for His church. The righteous will inherit eternal life and the unrighteous
eternal death. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15)
