WHAT WE BELIEVE

At God’s Gathering Place we are committed to studying the Word of God and living it faithfully in our lives.

We believe Jesus is Lord. He is the Bread of Life. The Water of Life. The Lamb of God. The Way, the Truth, and the Life. The one Mediator between God and humankind. The Lord of lords, The King of kings. The Son of Man. The Son of God. The Word become flesh.

We believe in the Person and the power of the Holy Spirit. He is fundamental to who we are as a people. We believe the Holy Spirit can transform us, posses us, equips us, and empowers us. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that sanctifies us, makes us holy, sets us apart for sacred service, and seals us for eternity’s sake. It is the Holy Spirit that convicts us of sin. It is the Holy Spirit that can breathe supernatural gifts into us, for Jesus’ sake. He is the Comforter promised by Jesus and witness of our redemption.

We believe in The Great Commandments. We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. And love our neighbors as ourselves.

We believe in The Supremacy of Scripture. We are people of the Bible—the Old and New Testaments, supernaturally inspired, preserved across time, cultures, and continents, delivered to us, useful for reproof and instruction, for righteousness.

We believe in The Great Commission. To go and make disciples is the divine privilege and responsibility given to each of us.

We believe in The Kingdom of God. The rule and reign of God is a present reality to be embraced and experienced today. His kingdom is not of this world, and will therefore never be about earthly politics.

We believe is The Trinity. Though difficult for the human mind to fully comprehend, our one God expresses himself in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity serves a unique role to bring God glory and accomplish his purposes in the world.
