Statement of Faith

Estrella Mountain Church

- Turning Neighbors Into Forever Friends

statement of faith

We believe in the Bible, both Old & New Testaments to be the inspired and infallible Word of God.
We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is virgin born, lived a sinless life and His death on the cross is the payment for our sins. He arose bodily from the dead, went into heaven and will return.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit which is to glorify and reveal Jesus Christ to people, convict them of their sin, regenerate them, live in them, fill them, teach them, give them gifts for building up the body, and empower them to live the life of Christ in this present world.
We believe that man is separated from God by sin and can only be united with God by turning in faith to Jesus Christ as God and Savior. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross provides eternal forgiveness for sin and His resurrection provides eternal life for all who believe.
We believe that immersion in water (Baptism) and the taking of the bread and the cup (Communion) are outward observances given to the church by Jesus, sealing inward commitments made by faith.
We believe that the Church is composed of people who, through faith in Jesus Christ, have been born again (spiritual birth). They are the Body and Bride of Christ.
