Our Beliefs
God
We believe that there is one and only one, living and triune God, eternally existing in three co-eternal Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), sharing the exact same attributes, power, glory, and essence. We believe that God as Father exercises sovereign rule over all creation as part of and consistent with the essence and attributes of Deity (Deut. 6:4; Ps. 24:1; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Heb. 1:1-3).
Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ (the eternal Son of God) became fully man without ceasing to be fully God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man, and that arriving at the cross in a state of impeccability, having never sinned, He accomplished our redemption through His godforsaken death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all mankind (Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2, 14; Rom. 3:24-25, 4:25; 8:34; Heb. 7:25, 9:24; 1 Pet. 1:3-5; 1 John 2:1-2).
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead who began an unprecedented ministry during this age which began on the day of Pentecost; that this special ministry encompasses convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; restraining evil to some degree; baptizing all believers into the Body of Christ; permanently indwelling and sealing believers unto the day of redemption; empowering believers to execute the spiritual life through filling and teaching. We believe that the Holy Spirit's unique ministry during this age will terminate at the resurrection of the Church. (John 14:26; Acts 2:1-4; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:12-14; 2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:13-14, 5:18; 2 Thess. 2:7).
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God's coherent and complete revelation of Himself to mankind, it’s very words of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek bearing the mark of divine inspiration, being our all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, authoritative for “doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness,” Christ focused, inerrant in the original manuscripts, and correctly interpreted through a consistent literal-historical-grammatical methodology (Matt. 5:17-18; John 16:12-15; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
Mankind
We believe that Adam (the first man) and Eve (the first woman) were created perfect in body, soul, and spirit according to the image and likeness of God, and that through one act of personal sin, they died spiritually acquiring a sin nature, which is seminally transmitted through Adam to every member of the human race causing them to be born physically alive yet spiritually dead (the soul being in a state of total depravity), leaving them helpless to produce an eternal relationship with God apart from the saving work of Christ on the cross and God's policy of grace (Gen. 1:26-27; Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:10-17, 22-23; 5:12; Eph. 2:8-9).
Church
We believe that the universal Church, which is now the Body and will be the Bride of Christ, is only composed of Church Age (from Pentecost until the Resurrection) believers, who are united to the Body through the baptism of the Holy Spirit regardless of gender, race, national origin, or denominational membership (1 Cor. 12:12-14; Eph. 1:22-23, 5:25-27).
We believe the local visible New Testament church is an autonomous assembly of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, and whose officers are Elders and Deacons (Eph. 4:11-12; 1 Tim. 3:1-13; Tit. 1:5-9).
Salvation
We believe that salvation comes to the sinner only by faith alone in Christ alone. Salvation (which is the same in every age) is based solely on the substitutionary death of Christ on the Cross and can only be received through personal faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that the power of the preached Word of God coupled with the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit frees man's will from its depraved state, so that he can believe in Christ. When man believes, God regenerates (creates for the believer a human spirit), imputing eternal life and divine righteousness.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission
The purpose of this church is to glorify God by equipping believers to become mature followers of Christ resulting in the expression of their love for God through worship and of their love for man through proclaiming Jesus as savior to the world.
Vision
As those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, we want to bring him glory. The main way we do that is through our life together as a church, as this gospel community demonstrates the love of Jesus through our love for each other (John 13:35). We gather together to sing his praises, offer our prayers, hear his Word, and care for one another. And we serve side by side to see Jesus worshiped as the true King both here in Frisco, TX and to the ends of the earth.
