At Seekers Point Church, we believe that sound biblical doctrine is essential for knowing God, growing in faith, and living out the gospel in everyday life. Our Statement of Faith reflects foundational biblical truths that have been affirmed throughout church history and remain central to the Christian faith today. We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, and trustworthy Word of God, serving as the final foundation for all we believe, teach, and practice. With both humility and conviction, and in pursuit of clarity, unity, and spiritual growth, we affirm the following beliefs as grounded in the truth of Scripture.

The Bible is the authoritative and accurate account of who God is, what He has done, and how we should live. The 66 books of the Old and New Testament, written by human authors and inspired by the Holy Spirit, are without error in their original form and are the primary way God still speaks to us today.

II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26

There is one true God who is the Creator and rightful ruler of everyone and everything. This one God eternally exists as three distinct persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each of whom has always existed and is fully and equally God.

Gen 1:1-2; Deut 6:4; Ps 24:1; Matt 3:16-17, 28:19; John 1:1-3; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Cor 2:10-11

Jesus is the eternal Son of God who entered into and changed history. He was and is both fully God and fully man at the same time. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Through his life, death, and bodily resurrection, he did all that was necessary to make salvation possible. After rising from the grave, He ascended into heaven and will one day physically return and reign for eternity as king.

Matt 1:18-23, 28:6; Jn 1:1-2, 14; Acts 1:9-11; Rom 4:25; Phil 2:6-7; Col 2:9; Heb 1:1-3; Rev 19-22

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, fully God and equal with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit works to draw people to Jesus Christ, convicting hearts and revealing the need for salvation. At salvation, the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer, empowering them for godly living, spiritual growth, service, and a deeper understanding of God’s truth. As Christians, we are called to live daily under His guidance and continually seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit, enabling us to live lives marked by spiritual power, holiness, and Christlike witness.

We believe all of the spiritual gifts described in Scripture are available and active for believers today. These gifts are given to build up the Church, advance the mission of Christ, and serve others, and are to be practiced in love, unity, and according to biblical order and guidance.

Ezek 36:26-27; Matt 28:19; Jn 15:26; Acts 1:8; 1 Cor 3:16; 12-14; Gal 5:22-23; Eph 5:18; Titus 3:5

The gospel is the good news that God saves sinners through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. No one can ever be good enough to save themselves. So Jesus lived the perfect life we can’t live, died the death we deserve to die, and rose to life to give us life. Salvation is a free gift provided by Jesus that must be actively and personally received through repentance and faith in Jesus alone as Savior and Lord. We are saved from the penalty of our sin and saved for a restored relationship with God as His child. All genuine believers in Jesus will cooperate with the Holy Spirit to become more like Jesus and can be assured they can never lose their salvation because the same grace of God that saves us also changes and sustains us.

Jn 1:12, 3:16, 10:28-29; Acts 3:19; Rom 3:10-12, 8:1, 28-39; 1 Cor 15:1-3, 9-10; 2 Cor 5:18-21; Eph 2:1-10; Col 2:13-14; Titus 2:11-12; 1 Pet 1:3; Jude 24

The Church is the people of God set apart for the mission of God. It is composed of every genuine believer in Jesus Christ for all time. We are knit together to become the body and bride of Christ, having a special relationship with God with a corresponding special assignment from God: the Great Commission. Every Christian should belong to and actively participate in a local church, which is an organized and localized expression of the worldwide community of believers.

Matt 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Cor 1:2, 12:12-13; Eph 5:25-27; 1 Pet 2:9; Heb 10:24-25; Rev 4

Every person is created in God’s image and has inherent worth from conception. Humans are made to know and enjoy God, steward His creation, and live in line with God’s plan, purposes, and precepts.

Gen 1:26-27; Deut 10:12-13; Ps 16:11, 139:13; Is 43:7; Mic 6:8; Jn 17:3

Humans were created to exist forever. All who have been reconciled with God by faith in Jesus will receive God’s undeserved grace and live with Him forever in a real heaven. All who die while separated from God will receive God’s just punishment and remain separated from Him forever in a real hell.

Job 19:25-27; Is 25:8; Dan 12:2; Matt 25:46; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 2 Thess 1:7-12; 1 Jn 2:25; Rev 21-22

Sin is humanity’s and the world’s greatest problem. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, humanity’s relationship with Him was fractured and every person since has been disobedient (sinful) by nature and by choice. As a result, we are separated from God and deserve to be judged by God. Our lives and the world are marked by the brokenness that sin creates.  

Gen 3; Ps 51:5; Is 59:2; Matt 12:36; Rom 3:10-23, 5:12-21, 8:20-22; Eph 2:1-3; Heb 9:27

God has given two outward, visible signs of God’s inward, invisible work that all Christians should practice. They proclaim and remind us of the gospel, strengthen our faith, and celebrate what Christ has done for and in us. Baptism by immersion in water is a one-time act of obedience for followers of Jesus to publicly declare their new life in Christ after they have personally repented and believed in Him. While the Bible gives freedom in how often it is observed, communion is a repeated act with other believers that commemorates Jesus’ death on the cross and gives us a special chance to enjoy His continued presence with and work for us.  

Matt 3:13-17, 26:26-30; Acts 2:38-42, 16:30-33; Rom 6:3-5; 1 Cor 10:16, 11:23-30; Col 2:12

God established a permanent pattern for gender, family, and sexuality at creation and reaffirmed it throughout all of Scripture. God created humanity, biologically male and female, for one another. There are two distinct, God-given gender identities – male and female – rooted in these two biological sexes that are not interchangeable. They come together to form the foundational relationship (marriage) of society’s foundational institution (the family). God designed marriage to be a lifelong, public covenant between one biological man and one biological woman that serves His purposes in the world and reflects His relationship with His people. Therefore, all sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage is sinful because it falls short of God’s wise and wonderful plan for human relationships. Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed exclusively within marriage as defined by God.  

Gen 1:26-28, 2:18-24; Deut 22:5; Mal 2:13-16; Matt 19:4-9; 1 Cor 6:9-11, 18; Eph 5:21-33

God will bring the world to its appropriate end in His own time and in His own way. When Jesus personally and visibly returns, all things will finally and perfectly be as they are in heaven. He will raise the dead and reward everyone with either everlasting reward or punishment based on their response of faith to Him during their lives. There are many theories as to how these events will unfold. While understanding and discussing them has value, our focus should not be on endless speculation and debate. Instead, Jesus’ return should inspire: 1) Faithful living. 2) Hope for believers, for whom Jesus’ return will mean an eternity with Him, filled with unceasing and ever-increasing joy. And 3) urgency to share the gospel with unbelievers, for whom Jesus’ return will mean an eternity apart from Him, marked by unceasing anguish.
