"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important
Our Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Life Fellowship 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
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that
Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God.
He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross
in our place, and rose again to sit at the righthand of the Father
to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe
that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Power of Pentecost and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that He gives gifts to believers to edify the church
and to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We believe that
speaking in tongues is the first initial evidence of being
baptized in the Holy Spirit.

The Bible
The Bible is God’s Word. Every word, sentence, and paragraph is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church
There is power and significance in the local Church. The necessity of believers to meet together on a regular basis was clearly laid out by the Apostle Paul. The Church is not meant to be idle, but to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
His Second Coming
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
