Find Your Place

People matter to God, and they matter to us at Saint Paul’s. We see ourselves as a church that can meet the spiritual needs of people in all of life's varying circumstances and stages in an exciting and relevant way. We believe at Saint Paul’s that there is something for everyone, in fact—we’ve designed it that way!

Beliefs

We believe that Jesus Christ gave the church its purpose in Matthew 28:19-20, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Therefore, our purpose is to lead people to a life of faith in Christ and empower them to grow into everything that God created them to be.

What Is a Life of Faith?

Coming to faith is the process of:

  • Realizing and confessing that God needs to have first place in your life and asking God to forgive your failures or sins. (Romans 3:23, I John 1:9)
  • Believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; that God sent Him into the world that through his life and death, we might have the opportunity for everlasting life. Believing that Christ is yet alive today and because He lives, we are able to know life abundant and life eternal. (John 3:16; Romans 10:9)
  • Accepting God’s free gift of salvation in gratitude. (Ephesians 2:8-9) 

Our relationship to God is not restored by anything we do, but on the basis of what Jesus already did for us. Please contact us if you have any questions concerning your life of faith in Christ.

What Is a Person On the Grow?

God

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each of whom possess equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality.

We believe that in the beginning God created out of nothing the world and all the things therein, thus manifesting the glory of sovereign power, wisdom and goodness. By God’s sovereign power, God continues to sustain the creation. By God’s providence, God is operating throughout history to fulfill God’s redemptive purposes. (Genesis 1:1,26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1, 3; 4:24; Acts 5:3-4; Romans 1:20; Ephesians 4:5-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:25-38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13)

Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, was sent into the world by the Father and the Son to apply to humankind the saving work of Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit enlightens the minds of people, awakens in them recognition of their need for a Savior and regenerates them.

We believe that, at the point of salvation, the Holy Spirit of God permanently indwells every believer to become the source of assurance, strength, and wisdom, and uniquely endows each believer with gifts for ministry.

We believe that the Holy Spirit guides believers in understanding and applying the Scripture.

We believe that the Holy Spirit’s power and control are appropriated by faith, making it possible for the believer to lead a life of Christ-like character and to bear fruit to the glory of God. (John 14:16-17,26; 15:26-27; 16:8-11,13; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:9-14; 6:19-20; Hebrews 9:14)

Humanity

We believe that humans were created in the image of God, but fell short of God’s ideal and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and become guilty sinners in thought, word and deed. (Genesis 1:26-27; 3:1-24; Romans 3:25; 5:12-18; I John 1:8)

The Scriptures

We believe that the scriptures are the inspired Word of God, our supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter1:20-21)

Salvation

We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; that Christ rose victorious from the grave on the third day; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. (Isaiah 53; Matthew 20:28; John 3:16; Romans 3:24-26; 5:1; I Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; I John 2:2; Matthew 28:6; Romans 10:9; I Corinthians 15:14)

We believe that all who come by grace through repentance and faith to accept the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. (John 1:12-13; 3:3, 5; James 1:18; I Peter 1:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)

The Church

We believe that there is one true Church universal, comprised of all those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

We believe that the Scripture commands believers to gather together to devote themselves to worship, prayer, the teaching of the Word, the observance of believers baptism and communion as the ordinances established by Jesus Christ, fellowship, service to the body through the development and use of talents and gifts and outreach to the world.

We believe that wherever God’s people meet regularly in obedience to this command, there is the local expression of the Church and that under the loving governance of spiritual leaders and other supportive leadership, its members are to work together in love and unity, intent on the one ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ. (Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:42-47)

Christ's Return

We believe that Christ shall return to receive the church according to a timetable set and known by God alone. (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Eternity

We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of those who are in relationship with God and the everlasting suffering of those who choose against God. (John 5:28-29; I Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15)

Baptism

We believe that all Christians are baptized by the Holy Spirit when they are born again.

We believe that water baptism by immersion is the Biblical testimony of the professed believer in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:28-41,47; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:36-40; 10:47; 18:8; Romans 6:3-4; I Corinthians 12:13)

Lord's Supper

We believe that those who partake of the Lord’s Supper should be born-again believers, walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:42-46; I Corinthians 11:23-29)
