The Essentials

Although our approach to helping people get on the path to God is anything but traditional, we still hold on to our very conservative theological beliefs. We know that even subtle differences in our beliefs can bring division to the Church as a whole. When it comes to beliefs that we consider Essentials, we will not compromise them. All other beliefs we consider Non-Essentials, and we will not argue over them.

God

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and one God.

Genesis 1:1, 26-27 | Psalm 90:2 | Matthew 28:19 | 1 Peter 1:2 | 2 Corinthians 13:14

Human Beings

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our life.

Genesis 1:27 | Psalm 8:3-6 | Isaiah 53:6a | Romans 3:23 | Isaiah 59:1-2

Eternity

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

John 3:16 | 1 John 2:25 | 1 John 5:11-13 | Romans 6:23 | Revelation 20:15

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.

Salvation

Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Marriage

We believe, based on the teaching of the Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, that marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God from the foundation of the world, and intended as a lifelong union between one man and one woman. Marriage between one man and one woman also represents the relationship between Christ and the Church.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.

The Bible

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 | 2 Peter 1:20-21 | 2 Timothy 1:13 | Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6 | Proverbs 30:5

The Non-Essentials

In Non-Essential Beliefs, we have liberty. We do not argue or fight over individual non-essential beliefs. Instead we extend grace and love.

Romans 14:1, 4 | Romans 14:22

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters… Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls… So then each of us will give an account of himself to God… So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. In all our beliefs, we show love.

1 Corinthians 13:2

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Who We Are

Although all churches have been commissioned to make disciples for Jesus, not all churches go about it the same way. We are intentional about creating a culture that reaches those who are spiritually searching for God. This culture is defined by what we truly value. The Values of X Church are made up of 7 statements that identify who we are and how we approach ministry. You could say it is the DNA of X Church.

The Gospel is our Priority

The Gospel of Jesus will always be first in our lives and in our message. We will say “no” to many good things in order to do what’s most important. We refuse to let the message of the Gospel be hijacked by anything else. It is our Priority.

People are our Purpose

People matter to God and therefore matter to us. Every single person who walks through our doors is someone Jesus died to rescue. We value people over systems and programs. They are our Purpose.

The Lost are our Passion

Jesus would leave the ninety-nine to find the one. So will we. We are unapologetic about reaching people who are far from God. We do everything with this person in mind. This is what fuels our faith. This is our Passion.

Excellence is our Presentation

God is in the details, and so are we. We believe that excellence honors God and inspires others. The calling is significant; therefore, nothing is insignificant. We embrace a spirit of excellence. It is our Presentation.

Servant Leadership is our Position

Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve. So should we. We elevate our calling over our gifting. We believe that if you are too big to serve, you are too small to lead. We get to lead because we choose to serve. It is our Position.

Generosity is our Privilege

We have freely received, so we freely give. Our response to God's irrational grace is a life of irrational generosity. We choose to be generous with our time, energy, and finances. It is our Privilege.

Honor is our Posture

Honoring others honors God. We will look for every opportunity to honor people with our words and our actions. We will give honor to those God has placed over us, beside us, and under our care and leadership. Respect is earned, but honor is given. It is our Posture.

Our Mission

Plan Your Visit

Our mission is Helping People Get on the Path to God. But, how we do that is what makes us unique. We are intentional about creating a culture that reaches people who are far from God or have maybe never been to church before. So whether you grew up in church or have never been, we invite you to come as you are to experience worship in a fresh way.
