EXCEEDING GRACE CHRISTIAN CENTER

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of Almighty God. It reveals His character, will, and redemptive plan for humanity. It is without error and unfailing and can be understood only by faith, with the help of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that there is only one true and living God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22)

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that He is the Son of God and the Son of Man. Jesus came to redeem man from the power and penalty of sin and make salvation available to all who exercise faith in Him. (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31, 35; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross includes total healing for the physical body.   (Isaiah 53:4, 5; James 5:14, 15; 1 Peter 2:24)

We believe that Christ’s redemptive work on the Cross provided deliverance from poverty and lack and that every believer now has a share in the Abrahamic Covenant. (2 Corinthians 8:9; Galatians 3:9; Ephesians 2:11-13)

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful man. (Luke 7:50, 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:8, 9; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7).

We believe that every human is born into the world as a sinful being in need of redemption (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Psalm 51:5; Ecclesiastes 7:29; John 6:44; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 2:14).

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost without Christ to eternal damnation. (Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15; Revelation 22:11)

We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At that time, all living and deceased believers will be taken from the earth.  (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
