    Statement of Faith

    Summit Christian Church is an independent, nondenominational fellowship. Since our founding in1999, we consistently have tried to be a church where Christians from diverse backgrounds canworship freely together. We have laid aside the differences of our background to unite through the

    love of Jesus Christ, and to serve together to help build His kingdom. With this in mind, we haveestablished the following abbreviated statements which summarizes our beliefs. The leadership and pastors at Summit are united in their agreement upon these points. This is what we believe, and this iswhat we teach:

    God: God is the one and only Sovereign Creator. God is a spiritual being. He is holy (without sin),all knowing, all powerful, everywhere present, and eternally existent. (Exodus 3:14-15; Timothy 6:15-16; Isaiah 40:13-14; John 4:24; Psalm 90:1-6) God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spiritare distinct personalities with distinct roles, but one God. (Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-2, 10:30, 14:7-10,25-26; Colossians 1:15-19; Hebrews 1:1-4)

    Jesus Christ: Jesus became God in the flesh. He existed in the beginning with God, and was God.He then was born a man through the miracle of the virgin birth by the power of the Holy Spirit.Despite temptation, He lived a sinless life. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-45; John1:1-2, 14; Hebrews4:14-15)

    Jesus was crucified and died a physical death as an atonement for the sins of mankind. He experienceda physical resurrection from the grave. (Luke 23:23-23, 53; I Corinthians 15:3-8; I John 2:2)

    Jesus came in the flesh as our Savior; He will return in the future in bodily form as the victorious Lordof the Universe. At the time, He will gather together His followers and will pass judgment upon thosewho have rejected Him. (Mark 13:32-37; Acts 1:9-11; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:27-28)

    The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit lives within those who believe in Jesus Christ. He is our Comforter,our Advocate, and He helps us to become more like Jesus in thought, word, deed, and character.(Galatians 2:20-21; John 14:15-17, 16:5-15)

    Mankind, Sin, and Salvation: Men and women were created in the image of God, but are nowseparated from God by sin. (Isaiah 64:6-7; Romans 3:23, 5:12-21, 6:23; I John 1:8)

    Faith (belief, trust) in Jesus based on His sacrifice on the cross is the only way for men and womento be reconciled to God (John14:6; Acts 4:8-12; Romans 3:25-26)

    Salvation, offered through Jesus is based upon grace, not merit. Salvation therefore cannot be earned;it is a gift from God. What we could not do for ourselves (reconcile our relationship with God), Jesusdid this for us through His death on the cross. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

    God lovingly offers salvation to every person; every person has the freedom to accept or reject this giftfrom God at any time. (John 3:16-18; I Timothy 2:3-4; II Peter 3:9)

  • 8/14/2019 Short Term Missions Application

    15/18

    Faith (belief, trust in Jesus requires repentance (conforming our lifestyles to that of Christ. Faith inJesus results in obedience. Baptism by immersion demonstrates our response to Gods offer of salvation as a pledge of willingness to live for Him. (Acts 3:19; 2:38, 8:26-38; Romans 6:1-4; I Peter 3:21)

    The Bible: We believe the Bible is inspired by God and is therefore without error or contradiction,and is the sole authority for faith and practice. All our beliefs come from the Bible. (II Timothy 3:15-

    16; II Peter 3:15-16; John 17:17)

    The Church: The Church of Jesus Christ is no limited to anyone institution or denomination; itconsists of all who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ to provide redemption for their sins. Summittherefore is but one part of the total Church (I Corinthians 12:12-17; Ephesians 4:4-6)

    I have read the Statement of Faith and agree with its doctrine. I have accepted Christ as my Lord andSavior.
