What We Believe
Our Statement of Faith
Our beliefs are centered on Scripture and centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. They shape how we understand God, the Bible, humanity, salvation, and God's redemptive plan for the world. These core convictions guide everything we do from how we worship and serve to how we love our community and make disciples. We invite you to explore what we believe and discover the hope found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
What We Believe
Our beliefs guide and inspire our mission to reach people in unexpected ways and places while equipping them to take their next step with God. The Journey Church is affiliated with the Assemblies of God, and our beliefs are rooted in Scripture and aligned with the Assemblies of God's Statement of Fundamental Truths. Here's what we believe.
The Scriptures Inspired
We believe the Bible is God's inspired Word and our final authority for truth, faith, and daily living. It reveals who God is and guides every next step we take.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 · 2 Peter 1:20-21
The One True God
We believe there is one eternal God who exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, perfectly united and fully God.
Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
We believe jesus is fully God and fully man. He came to earth, lived without sin, died for us, rose again, and made a way for us to know God.

The Fall of Man
We believe humanity was created good but chose sin, which separated us from God and created our need for a Savior.

The Ordinances of the Church
We believe water baptism and communion are important practices Jesus gave the Church to publicly express faith and remember His sacrifice.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe believers can experience a special empowering of the Holy Spirit to help them live boldly and fulfill God's mission.

The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe speaking in tongues is the initial outward evidence of receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit as seen in Scripture.

Sanctification
We believe following Jesus is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Him as the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts and lives.
