Our foundational beliefs grounded in Scripture
We believe Jesus when He says that He is the only way to God and heaven (John 14:6-7). Jesus further declares that anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father (v. 9), and that He is in the Father and the Father in Him. The Gospel of John presents a high Christology—that is, a high view of Christ. We believe the words of this Gospel, and as such, we believe that Jesus Christ is God.
In John's Gospel, Jesus said He would send another—referring to the Holy Spirit. Our understanding is that "another" meant one of the same nature. As such, we believe that the Holy Spirit is also God. He is a person, not a wind or force. We, therefore, believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God.
We have a high view of the Bible and believe it is totally reliable as God's Word. The Bible is our ultimate authority for faith and practice, guiding us in all matters of life and godliness.
We believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that through His death, Jesus paid for our sins, and that those who continue believing in Jesus will receive eternal life. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
We believe the Holy Spirit sovereignly distributes spiritual gifts to believers for the common good and building up of the church (1 Corinthians 12:7, 11). While we affirm that all gifts mentioned in Scripture remain available to the church today, we emphasize that they must be exercised under the authority of Scripture, in accordance with biblical instruction for order and edification, and in submission to church leadership (1 Corinthians 14:26-40).
We believe the Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, God's Son, died for our sins and rose again, accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him. This message is central to everything we do and say.
We believe the church is the body of Christ, made up of all believers. We value the local church as a place of fellowship, discipleship, worship, and service. We practice plurality of eldership and believe in raising up and releasing leaders.
At Acts Bible Church, we hope to bring an environment that is:
