what we Believe
Our Foundation
At One Hope, our beliefs are rooted in the truth of God's Word. We believe in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and in Jesus Christ as the only hope for salvation.
We believe the gospel is available to every person, and we are called to share that hope with the lost, make disciples, and glorify Christ in our community and around the world.
The Bible
We believe in the word-by-word inspiration, infallibility, and final authority of the Holy Scriptures.
God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless humanity, atoning death, bodily resurrection, present advocacy, and bodily return.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood and died as a sacrifice for the sins of every person who has ever lived and will ever live.
Humanity & Salvation
We believe in the fall of man, resulting in separation from God and the need for salvation.
We believe that salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God, entirely apart from works, received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation is available to every person, and each individual has the free choice to accept or reject the gospel.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates with divine life and personally indwells the believer upon faith in Christ for salvation.
Eternal Life
We believe in the bodily resurrection and unending life of the saved with the Lord, as well as the bodily resurrection and just punishment of the unsaved.
The Church & Our Mission
We believe the church, beginning at Pentecost, is the body of Christ, comprised of those who have trusted Jesus Christ as Savior.
We believe it is the church's responsibility to glorify Christ by preaching the gospel to the world and making disciples of all nations. Because of our belief in salvation, we believe it is every believer's duty to go to the lost, both locally and around the world, and share the gospel.
Baptism & Communion
We believe baptism and the Lord's Supper are practices given to the church by Jesus. They are acts of obedience and visible expressions of our faith in Christ.
