Why We Exist

The Faith Place Church gathered for its inaugural worship service on November 14, 2021! Since then, the love of Christ, expressed in the fellowship of believers and all who attend has been palpable. Our multi-generation faith community is one where every single person is valued; whether newborn, elementary-aged, teen, young adult or senior.  Our nursery serves ages 0-5 years old. Our teens and children also have dedicated volunteers who meet with them each Sunday.  

 

Love in action is in our DNA, so we live outside the church walls in service to our fellow man. We have already embarked on a multi-pronged approach which includes ministry to the homeless, global missions, educational scholarships, and evangelism as a means to fulfilling our mission.  And, we are just getting started!  We are determined to impact the world for Christ as we love, serve, and bring good news.  

statement of faith


1.        We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, infallible and inerrant. It alone is the final authority in determining doctrines, organization and practice.


2.        We believe in the one true God, eternally existing and further revealed as the embodiment of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.


3.        We believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified for the redemption of mankind, buried and rose again for our justification, ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God interceding for us.


4.        We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who was active in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament as the Promised Comforter, Teacher, Helper and Who lives and operates in the life of each believer. He is the One Who gives spiritual gifts to all believers and administers the ministry gifts for the edification and growth of the local congregation.


5.        We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit which empowers the believer to be an effective witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.  This experience is distinct from and subsequent to salvation and is often accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.


6.        We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, that is made possible through the death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who rose from the dead on the third day and lives forever. We believe that salvation is obtained by believing that Jesus Christ rose triumphantly from the dead, and confessing with our mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord. This results in regeneration, justification, and adoption into the family of God.


7.        We believe in water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, is for everyone who has been born again through faith in Jesus Christ, in obedience to the command given by Jesus Christ.


8.        We believe in celebrating the Lord’s Supper as instituted by Jesus Christ, in remembrance of His sacrificial death.


9.        We believe in divine healing and deliverance of the sick and oppressed as seen in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. Divine healing is one of the gifts of the Spirit that is given to the church.


10.      We believe that the believer is called to live a life of holiness and sanctification. Holiness is a lifestyle that consists of holy living or righteousness to the glory of God.  Sanctification is an ongoing process by which the believer experiences a closer personal relationship with Jesus, and lives a life according to, and for God’s purpose.


11.      We believe the universal church, otherwise called the Body of Jesus Christ, and the Bride of Jesus Christ, is the called-out body of believers over centuries and from all over the globe. We believe that this church is built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, the Rock or the Chief Cornerstone. We believe that a person becomes a member of the church when they confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in their heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thereby they are born again. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the church and the Holy Spirit lives in the life of each member of the church and guarantees the salvation of those who are members of the church.


12.      We believe in the promised return of our Lord Jesus Christ to gather His people unto Himself to live and reign with Him.


13.      We further believe in the bodily resurrection of all humanity. There will be the resurrection of the believers at the return of Jesus Christ, and along with those who are alive and remain all will be caught up together with the Lord to live with Him in heaven forever. There will also be the resurrection of those who reject Jesus as Lord, and all those whose names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life will inherit eternal damnation, which is the second death. Then Jesus Christ will set up his kingdom and of that kingdom there will be no end.
