Do you agree with Living Hope's Statement of Faith? *

WE BELIEVE
the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable in our everyday lives.

WE BELIEVE
in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE
that sin has separated each of us from God and as a result we are spiritually dead and unable to please Him.

WE BELIEVE
that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. He will return again someday as our victorious Lord.

WE BELIEVE
that in order to receive forgiveness of sins and be restored to God for eternal life we must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as He is revealed in the Bible.

WE BELIEVE
the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity is active in the world convicting of sin, indwelling all who believe in Jesus and empowering them for His service.

WE BELIEVE
in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer, and communion.

WE BELIEVE
that Satan is real and active in the world. He is in opposition to God’s redemptive work through Jesus Christ and will be fully defeated at the second coming of Jesus.

WE BELIEVE
that baptism is expected for every believer and that through immersion into water we demonstrate our faith and obedience while depicting our union with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

WE BELIEVE
that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to value all human life. Because we believe in the sacred and intrinsic value of all mankind, we affirm that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity.
Psalm 139

WE BELIEVE
that God ordained marriage as a lifelong union between one man and one woman. Those who accept and live within God’s design for sex, biological gender, and marriage experience the blessing of His good design. Any attempts to change, alter, or modify God’s will in marriage, sex, or gender are part of man’s brokenness.
Psalm 1:1-3; 128:1-4 – Genesis 2:18; Matthew 19:4-9; Ephesians 5:31-33 – Romans 1:21-22; James 1:13-15
