what we believe
Our Beliefs.
These basic doctrines within the Northside Church Statement of Faith represent what we believe to be core elements of biblical teaching.
Doctrine of God.
We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.
Doctrine of Revelation.
God has made himself known to the world in Jesus Christ, the scriptures and creation.
Doctrine of Creation and Providence.
We believe that God created the world from nothing and governs all things at all times in all places.
Doctrine of Humanity.
We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God and possesses intrinsic dignity and worth.
Doctrine of Sin.
We believe that sin has fractured all things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation.
Doctrine of Salvation.
We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
Doctrine of the Church.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.
Doctrine of Resurrection and Consummation of the Kingdom of God.
We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.
We want to be known for our commitment to:
-
as evidenced by the knowledge, interpretation, and integration of the Scripture, and the possession of a biblical worldview.
-
as evidenced by a personal devotional life with God, godly character, a healthy, active lifestyle, and an investment in life-giving relationships.
-
as evidenced by the intentional pursuit of biblical truth.
-
as evidenced by service to the local and the global church, stewardship of time and resources, and commitment to finishing well.
