Our Basic Beliefs
At CenterPoint, we emphasize the major issues of the Christian faith and allow for personal understandings on minor issues. We believe:
 | The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and is the final authority for faith and living. |
| God exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and has revealed Himself to be perfect in love, right in all His ways, and the Creator of all things. |
| Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son. As true God and true man, He was born of a virgin, showed us how to live through His perfect life, died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, arose bodily from the dead, was seen by over 500 people, and returned to Heaven to prepare a place for all who receive Him. |
| Men and women were created in God's image to have a personal relationship with Him, but were tempted by Satan and rebelled against God. Through turning away from our sins and turning to Jesus Christ in faith, we receive forgiveness and healing. We are made new by the Holy Spirit and become children of God. God has given people the freedom to chose Him. |
| The Holy Spirit persuades us to repent of our sins and confess Jesus as Lord. He lives in us, teaches us and enables us to live full and godly lives. |
| The Church is the living Body of Christ. He is its head and the source of its life. The Body is composed of those who have received Jesus as Savior and Lord. The Church exists to celebrate and live for God, to clearly communicate Christ and help people discover a meaningful relationship with Him, and to cultivate personal growth and development in Christ. |
| Jesus Christ will return to earth to raise the dead, judge the world, right all wrongs, and establish His eternal Kingdom. Heaven and hell are the final destinies of people, depending on their decisions about Jesus. Those who have been spiritually reborn will live with Jesus forever in heaven. |
