What We Believe

---

The following are the core beliefs of The Way based on the foundational

truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of

these biblical doctrines.

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God

the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and

invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.  God is perfect in love, power,

holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and

therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image

of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first

humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the

rest of God's creations.

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made

to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship

with God and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died

on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead

and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as

their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God

and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in

the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.

We believe that the nation of Israel has a special place in God’s plan, and that all of the

promises of God to Israel will be fulfilled both now and in the Second Coming of Jesus

Christ in His millennium.
