TEAM VALUES
TRUTH IS RELEVANT
We believe the Bible is God’s roadmap for life. Therefore, we value communicating the timeless truth of Scripture in cutting-edge, culturally relevant ways. BOLD FAITH We will boldly share the gospel, pray for the sick, care for our community, and believe for miracles as an expression of God’s love for people. GENEROSITY IS OUR HEARTBEAT With excellence of heart, we give the best of our time, efforts, thoughts, prayers, generosity and talent to be fully invested in the mission of our church. GROUNDED IN GRACE We will love people when they least expect it and least deserve it. We will love, honor, forgive, and show mercy to all people because every person is created in God’s image. GROWTH HAPPENS IN COMMUNITY Life change happens when we intentionally embrace accountable, encouraging, life-giving relationships. We grow best when we worship weekly, and study God’s word together in small groups. BETTER TOGETHER Our church is stronger and more effective when people work together. We are family. Our gifts, personalities, backgrounds, and cultures all work to create a beautiful mosaic that is Evangel. |
OUR BELIEFSWe believe there is one God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:5) He is sometimes called Jehovah or Yahweh (the Hebrew word for God). He is revealed in three persons: God (the Father), Jesus (the Son), and the Holy Spirit. The three are commonly referred to as the Trinity. (Matthew 28:19) We believe salvation is available to anyone who believes in Jesus. Jesus is God’s Son. He has always existed. Because of sin, mankind was doomed to die (Romans 6:23). Jesus came to earth as a baby, born to a virgin girl named Mary. He lived a life without sin, and willingly died for us. (John 3:16) Three days later He rose from the dead, He ascended to Heaven, and He is alive today. We can know Him personally by believing in Him and asking Him to forgive our sins. We believe the Bible is the Word of God and the ultimate source of truth. The Bible was written over a period of about 1500 years, in three languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic), by 40 different writers, yet it contains an incredibly accurate historical record and an impeccably consistent presentation of Spiritual truth. This is only possible because the words of the Bible were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The greatest evidence of the authority of the Bible is found in the obvious result of applying the truths of the Bible to our every day lives. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21) We believe God still works in our lives in incredible ways. The Holy Spirit is still at work in the lives of believers today. In fact, many of the miracles of the Bible still happen and are documented every day. The healing of diseases, the restoration of broken lives, even prophecies and supernatural occurrences, all these things still happen. The reason these things still take place is because the Holy Spirit is still at work in the lives of believers. (James 5:14-16; John 14:12) The Assemblies of God Evangel is a part of a global network of churches known as the Assemblies of God. The above description of our beliefs is a very basic, introductory view of our doctrine. For more information about the beliefs and doctrines of the Assemblies of God, visit the AG website. |
