CrossWalk Center Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, Creator and Lord of the Universe, the co-eternal Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that the first person of the Trinity is God the Father, who orders all things according to His own purpose and grace, and who continually upholds, directs, and governs all creatures and events for His own glory. All people are call the offspring of God; therefore, God is the father of all people as their creator. Yet, spiritually, God is the father only of those who believe in Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, the second person of the Trinity, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary atoning death on the cross, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven where, as truly God and truly man, He is the only mediator between God and man.

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. The Spirit possesses all the divine attributes with the Father and the Son. He is sent from God to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, cleanse and secure from sin. He is the indwelling guide, teacher and strengthener of the believer.

We believe that the Bible is God’s authoritative and inspired Word. It is without error in all its teachings, including creation, history, its own origins, and salvation. Christians must submit to its divine authority, both individually and corporately, in all matters of belief and conduct, which is demonstrated by true righteous living.

We believe that all people are lost sinners and cannot see the Kingdom of God except through the new birth. Justification is by grace through faith in Christ alone.

We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church. Its calling is to worship God and witness concerning its Head, Jesus Christ, preaching the Gospel among all nations and demonstrating its commitment by compassionate service to the needs of human beings and promoting righteousness and justice.

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit for the individual’s new birth and growth to maturity, and for the Church’s constant renewal in truth, wisdom, faith, holiness, love, power, and mission.

We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in glory to raise the dead and bring salvation and judgment to completion. God will fully manifest His kingdom when He establishes a new heaven and new earth, in which He will be glorified forever, and exclude all evil, suffering, and death.

Mission
