We Believe

“I know in whom I have believed.” -Paul in I Timothy 1:12

Do you know what you believe? What we believe is at the center, the mainspring of all our motives and pursuits. Here at Mountain Creek Church we have a persuasion that our belief is actually and ultimately in a person, Jesus Christ. Beyond dogma, doctrine, and religious regulations is Jesus the Lord. He is truth made flesh, truth personified! The beatitudes of Christ are more concerned with living, with being, than with verbal beliefs. Living right is to live a life as Jesus would have us live: faithfully and happily.

Still, what we believe is important. And for our friends we want to make our faith plain. We offer this statement of faith:

-We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

-We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His sinless life, in His miracles, His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He reigns as King, and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.

-We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

-We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, and that their salvation is received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as Messiah, Savior, and Lord.
