What We Believe

1. What We Believe About The Bible:
We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testament are the inspired Word of God; they are without error in their writings; and they are the authoritative, complete and final written revelation of God.

2. What We Believe About God:
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are co-equal in their nature, attributes, and perfection.

3. What We Believe About Jesus Christ:
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood, in His resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, sharing His risen life now with believers and in His personal return in power and glory.

4. What We Believe About The Holy Spirit:
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts individuals of sin, causes spiritual birth, baptizes all believers into the Body of Christ, indwells, seals, sanctifies, guides, teaches, and fills the believer so that they are enabled to live a Godly life.

5. What We Believe About Salvation:
We believe salvation is a free gift of God's grace and is received by any individual who through personal faith and belief in Jesus Christ, accepts Him as their personal Savior.

6. What We Believe About The Church:
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. The local church is a group of believers in a particular location who are committed to Christ and are willing to be committed to each other for the purpose of worship, instruction, fellowship and evangelism.

7. What We Believe About The Resurrection:
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of everlasting punishment and separation from God.

Our desire at New Hope Community Church is to discover, communicate and remind one another of our position, possessions, privileges and power in Christ, so that we can grow spiritually and then through our availability, our indwelling Lord can evangelize the lost as He expresses Himself in and through each of us.

The above statements express my personal beliefs. In my ministry at New Hope Community Church I will adhere to and teach these truths.
