Connect Track 3 - What We Believe

This is What Experience Church believes!

What We Believe

  • We believe the entire Bible to be the inspired, infallible Word of God, the revelation of God’s will for man and the divine and final authority for the Christian life.
    2 Timothy 3:16-17

  • We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who is revealed in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4; John 15:26

  • We acknowledge Jesus Christ as true God and true man — conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, crucified, and resurrected — our High Priest and Advocate now seated at the right hand of God the Father.
    Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 12:2

  • We believe in personal salvation and forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, acknowledging every person’s need for the grace and mercy of God. Romans 3:23-24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 1:9

  • We believe in the eventual resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
    John 14:1-3; 1 John 5:11; Revelation 20:15

  • We baptize in water all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ and who desire to publicly identify with Him, in accordance with the Bible’s command.
    Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:36-39; Romans 6:4

  • We believe in the present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose purpose is to glorify Jesus Christ and instruct and empower every believer for godly living and service. John 16:13-14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 

  • We believe holiness to be the standard of living for God's people.
    Luke 1:75; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Hebrews 12:14

  • We believe that the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a promise from the Father for every believer and is distinct and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. We support the manifestations of the Holy Spirit: miracles, healing, speaking in tongues etc; as the Holy Spirit deems fit.
    Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4, 38-39, 19:4-6

  • We serve the Lord’s Supper and, according to Scripture, remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross and celebrate His resurrection power.
    Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

  • We believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that His appearance will be accompanied by a bodily resurrection of those who have died in Christ.
    Matthew 24:29-31; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

  • We believe that Jesus is the Healer.
    Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:14-15; 1 Peter 2:24

  • We believe in the power and effectiveness of prayer. Philippians 4:6-7; James 5:15-16

  • We believe in God’s terrific plan for each of His followers to honor God and help people.
    Matthew 5:16; 25:40; Jeremiah 29:11

  • We believe in accountability, the church being a family and constant fellowship among believers.
    Hebrews 10:25; Acts 2:44-47; Mark 3:35; 1 Peter 4:10; James 5:19,20; Galatians 6:1,2; Proverbs 27:17
