Statement of Faith
1 – We believe in God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God has revealed Himself through the Bible as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is one God in three persons. This concept has been referred throughout the history of the church as “The Trinity.” (Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
2 –We believe in Jesus Christ and that he is the Son of God.
He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate his power over sin and death. We believe that Jesus will come again to establish a new heaven and a new earth! (Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
3 – We believe in the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make human beings aware of their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit works in our lives from conception pouring out God’s grace into each of us. When we say “yes” to God the Holy Spirit provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts for building up the church. (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16-17, Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; Ephesians 1:13)
4 – We believe and trust in the authority of Scripture.
The Scripture of the Old and New Testament is God’s truth for us. It was written by human authors under the inspiration of God. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth that will faithfully guide us in all aspects of life. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160, Proverbs 30:5)
5 – We believe humanity was created in the image of God but is cursed by sin.
People are made in the image of God to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are hindered by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. All human beings need Jesus Christ to save them from the results of sin. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2)
6 – We believe the mission of the Church is to make disciples.
The Church doesn’t just exist to get people into heaven but also to train and equip them so that they are complete in Christ and able to live for Him here on Earth. The Church is the hope of the world as it points everyone to Jesus by loving like Jesus loves, by serving like Jesus serves, by sacrificing like Jesus sacrifices, and by forgiving like Jesus forgives! (Matthew 16:18; Acts 4:32-37; Acts 9:31; 1 Corinthians 1:10)
Pinnacle doesn’t claim anything unique in our statement of faith. These core beliefs are the very ones that the first church believed as they expanded from Jerusalem throughout the world. You will see these core beliefs reflected in our teaching and in the character of our community. If you have any questions about our core faith beliefs don’t hesitate to contact our Pastoral Team: Kurt Oheim, Justin Roberts, or Andy Forman.
