What We Believe
The following are some of the shared beliefs of Northwest Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible.
All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.
God
We believe in one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
JEsus Christ
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who, being fully God, became fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and was raised from the dead.
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit lives in the Christian.
He empowers us to live a life of holiness, as well as guides, comforts, and assists us in prayer.
Resurrection
We believe Jesus will personally come again with His angels and appear to all. The dead will be raised and all will stand before the throne of God to be judged for the life they have lived on this earth.
Created
We are not a cosmic accident.
Everything and everyone has been intentionally made by the Creator.
Bible
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God.
The Fall
We believe, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace …”. (Romans 3:23-24)
Salvation
We believe that salvation from the penalty of death is made possible only because Jesus Christ died as a sin offering in our place.
Gift
We believe this salvation is offered as a gift to those who believe in Jesus Christ. Since it is a gift, it cannot be earned.
Grace
We believe true faith is expressed in repentance, confession, and embodied in baptism. Baptism is immersion in water of a declared believer in Christ.
The Lifestyle
We believe these convictions make a difference in the way we should live. We don’t keep living sinful lives because we know He will forgive us. We strive to follow His lead and tell others Jesus’ Good News of Salvation.
The Church
We believe there is one church which consists of all Christians. While denominations exist because of slight variations of theology, we believe that all believing Christians make up one church.
