- We believe the Bible as God's inspired and inerrant
Word is of final authority in faith and life (2
Timothy 3:16,17: 2 Peter 1:21).
- We believe, based on this Word, in one God, existing
eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 8:6; Matthew
28:19; 1 Corinthians 8:6).
- We believe God the Father created and sustains all things
and saves from sin all who come to Him through Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy
32:6; Matthew 25:9; Ephesians 4:6; 1 John 5:1).
- We believe Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit
and is true God and true man (Matthew 1:20-23;
Luke 1:35; John 1:14; Romans 9:5).
- We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, makes believers
children of God through new birth, assures believers of their
salvation and, by His indwelling presence, enables believers to
live a godly life (John 10:28-29; 16:8;
Romans 8:38,39; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 12,13; Ephesians 1:13,14).
- We believe man was created in God's image, but sinned,
incurring spiritual death which has passed upon all the race (Genesis
1:26-27; Romans 3:10,23; 5:12-19).
- We believe that Christ died for our sins, according to
the Scriptures, and that all who trust Him are justified on the
ground of His shed blood (Acts 13:38,39;
Romans 6:23; Hebrews 9:22, 26-28).
- We believe in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
and His present ministry in Heaven for us (Matthew
28:5-7; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:12-20; Hebrews 9:24).
- We believe the personal, premillenial return of Christ
is our "blessed hope" (Acts 1:11;
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 20:1-6).
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and
the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the lost (John 5:28,29;
1 Corinthians 15:20-28; Revelation 20:11-15).
Mission Statement: Discovery Church exists to honor God by developing
committed followers of Jesus Christ who attract others to Him. |
