What We Believe
We believe that the Bible ... is the inspired, true Word of God. It is the foundation of our beliefs and convictions. It is our absolute and final source of truth and our ruler to govern ourselves and this body call Crosspointe Church.
We believe that Jesus Christ ... is the Son of God. He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus was born of a virgin and lived a sinless human life. He offered Himself as the perfect and final sacrifice for the sins of all mankind by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to show His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
We believe the Holy Spirit ... is coequal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make everyone aware of their need for Jesus Christ as Savior. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right through our conscious in line with the Bible. He gives every believer a spiritual gift or gifts when they are saved. As Christians, we seek Him to control every aspect of our lives.
We believe that God ... is the supreme Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father , Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God.
We believe the Church ... is the total body of Christ, working to carry out the great commission Jesus gave us in Matt 28:19-20. A group of committed peoples that love God, love people, and follow the Bible as their guide for life.
