What Believer Church believes
Believer Church
What We Believe.
Here’s what we believe and teach as a church. The convictions we stand on together.
Jesus at the center
In everything, he holds first place.
Everything was created through him and for him. Before anything else we say about ourselves, we say this: Jesus is first. Every conviction on this page sits underneath that one.
Colossians 1
The bedrock of who we are
We believe Jesus is making all things new.
Our Beliefs
Fifteen Convictions.
02
Christ’s Supremacy
We believe Jesus Christ is supreme over all things. In everything he holds first place, and everything was created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:15-18

The Virgin Birth
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, the eternal Son of God.
John 1:1, 14 · Luke 1:35 · Matthew 1:23
04
The Cross and Resurrection
We believe Jesus lived without sin, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead.
Hebrews 4:15 · II Corinthians 5:21 · I Corinthians 15:3-4

The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.

Salvation
We believe people are saved from sin by grace, through repentance and faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8-9 · Acts 3:19 · Romans 10:9

Baptism
We believe in water baptism as an outward expression of an inner faith, and that it’s God’s plan for every believer to be baptized in water.
Matthew 28:19 · Acts 2:38 · Romans 6:4
08
Communion
We believe in Communion, also known as the Eucharist, where we remember and celebrate the body and blood of Jesus, given for the forgiveness of our sins.
Matthew 26:26-28 · I Corinthians 11:23-26
09
The Holy Spirit
We believe it is God’s will for every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to receive a prayer language, what the Bible calls speaking in tongues: praying in words the Spirit gives rather than words we learned.
Acts 1:8 · Acts 2:4 · Acts 19:6 · I Corinthians 14:14
10
The Gifts of the Spirit
We believe the gifts of the Spirit are active today, both in the life of the individual and in the church together.
