At House of Grace, we hold to the timeless truths of Scripture. These are the core beliefs that shape who we are:
One GOD, reviled in three Persons
We believe in one God — revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — holy, all-powerful, and desiring a relationship with us.
(Matthew 3:15-16; Mark 12:29; John 16:26, 17:21; I Corinthians 12:3)
The Bible
We believe the Bible — both Old and New Testaments — is God’s inspired Word. It reveals who He is and how He calls us to live.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23–25)
Humanity and Sin
We believe every person is born into sin and separated from God. Through Jesus, anyone can be forgiven and restored to a relationship with Him.
(Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:12–13)
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is both fully God and fully man. He came to earth, died on the cross, rose again, and ascended to the Father so we could be set free from sin. (John 1:1–4; Philippians 2:5–11; Hebrews 1:3)
The Lordship of Jesus
We believe Jesus is not only Savior but also Lord and King. To follow Him means surrendering every part of our lives to His authority. He must be King of our hearts, our choices, and our future. (Luke 6:46; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:9–11; Colossians 3:17)
Salvation by Grace
We believe salvation is a free gift from God, given by His grace alone — not earned by good works or human effort. We are saved when we put our faith in Jesus Christ, repent of our sins, and receive Him as Savior and Lord. In that moment, we are forgiven, made new, and brought into God’s family.
(Acts 2:38; John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:4–7)
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts, guides, and empowers believers. We also believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, is available to all believers for bold living and sharing the gospel. The same Spirit who worked miracles in the early church is at work today — and we believe that healing, deliverance, and miracles are for now.
(Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; 1 Corinthians 12:8–11; James 5:14–16; Mark 16:17–18)
The Authority of the Believer
We believe every follower of Jesus has been given authority through His name to stand against the enemy, walk in freedom, and live as overcomers. This authority is not in our strength but in Christ’s finished work on the cross and His resurrection power in us.
(Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17; Ephesians 2:6; James 4:7)
The Church
We believe the local church is God’s design for worship, teaching, discipleship, and fulfilling the Great Commission. Every believer has a place to serve in His Church. (Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:42–47)
Heaven and Hell
We believe in eternal life in heaven with God for the saved, and eternal punishment in hell for the lost. Jesus made a way for all people to be saved and spend eternity with Him in heaven. (Matthew 25:46; John 14:1–3; Revelation 20:11–15)
The Second Coming
We believe Jesus will return visibly and bodily to gather His Church and judge the world. Afterward, He will establish a new heaven and a new earth, and
all who follow Him now will reign with Him for eternity. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 1:7; Revelation 21:1–4; Revelation 22:5)
Sanctity of Life
We believe all human life is sacred and created in the image of God — from conception to natural death. As such, we uphold the value of every life.
(Psalm 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5)
Marriage and Family
We believe God’s design for marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman. Marriage reflects Christ’s love for His Church and provides the foundation for family and society. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:31–32)
Christian Living
We believe believers are called to live holy lives, set apart from the world, empowered by the Spirit. We also believe God heals, leads through servant leadership, and provides for His work through tithes and offerings. (Romans 12:1–2; James 5:14–16; 2 Corinthians 9:7)
