Our Doctrine and Beliefs

Part 1: The Apostles’ Creed

We adhere to the Apostles’ Creed as a declaration that has historically defined key components of the Christian faith throughout the centuries, giving people a constant, biblically accurate doctrinal statement.


Part 2: We Believe in the Historic Christian Faith as Reflected in the Following Statements About God:

God is the loving Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen. God is eternal and completely good, knowing all things, having all power and majesty.


About Jesus Christ:

God expressed Himself in human form through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary. He was buried, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven.


About the Holy Spirit:

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, sent from God to live inside all who believe in Jesus Christ, teaches, comforts, and empowers us.


About The Bible:

The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and plenarily inspired Word of God. We believe that God speaks to us in the Bible, and that it is our privilege to seek to understand God’s message and apply it responsibly to our lives.


About Salvation:

Salvation comes to people on the basis of God’s grace through their faith alone in Jesus alone. Good works and a holy life, although totally unable to save anyone, are the natural product of repentant, believing people


About The Church:

The church is made up of Christians and acts as the body of Christ here on Earth. It is responsible for spreading the gospel and acting in mercy, justice, faith, love, and forgiveness.


About the Person Of Satan:

As Lucifer, he existed as the highest rank of all angelic creatures. Satan is the open and declared enemy of God and man.


Part 3: We Believe in the Practical Outworking of Our Faith as Reflected in the Following Statements

  • Regarding Financial Stewardship

    We encourage people to handle their finances discreetly, honorably, and responsibly, and to practice regular and generous giving. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully for the support of the church, for the relief of those in need, and for the spreading of the Good News. We believe that a donor relinquishes all rights to direct the use of the tithe or offering once the gift has been made. Gen. 14:20; Prov. 3:9-10; Mal. 3:10-11; Matt. 6:19-21, 24, 33; Acts 4:34-37; 1 Cor. 9:7-14, 16:1-2; 2 Cor. 9:5-12; Gal. 6:6; Eph. 4:28; 1 Tim. 5:17-18; 3 John 5-8

  • Regarding Community

    We express our strong value of community by seeking to reach out and connect with people wherever we go. We want to be personal and caring in a world that is increasingly fragmented and impersonal. We are not afraid to be vulnerable, human, and honest with each other. We believe our spirituality fulfills rather than denies our humanity, and we believe this approach strengthens community. John 15:12; Acts 2:42-47; Rom. 12:3-18; Gal. 6:1-5, 10; Col. 4:5-6; 2 Tim. 4:1-5

  • Regarding Unity Among Christians

    We recognize differences among Christians in nonessential areas. We do not press for uniformity in these areas, but rather encourage people to search the Scriptures, seeking balance, mutual understanding, humility and love. Additionally, we seek to respect one another’s differences without a quarrelsome, arrogant, or divisive spirit, and to return continually to the Great Commandment—to love God and one another. Rom. 14:1-15:7, 16:17; 1 Cor. 1:10-13; 2 Tim. 2:14-17, 23-26; James 3:13-17; Phil. 2:1-5

  • Regarding Civil Government

    We believe that God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1) the home; 2) the Church; and 3) the state. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution specific Biblical responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that there should be a healthy cooperation between the three, without one having primary control over the other. The home, the Church, and the state are equal and sovereign in their respective Biblically assigned spheres of responsibility under God. Rom. 13:1-7; Eph. 5:22-24; Heb. 13:17; 1 Pet. 2:13-14

  • Regarding Human Sexuality

    We believe that the only sexual relationship that God blesses is the relationship between a man and a woman, with that relationship existing within the confines of marriage. We believe that any other sexual behaviors and choices are sinful distortions of God’s gift of sex and sexual identity. Gen. 2:24; Gen. 19:5, 13; Gen. 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1:26-29; 1 Cor. 5:1, 6:9; 1 Thess 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4


    We believe that the only Christian marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. Gen. 2:24; Rom. 7:2; 1 Cor. 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23


    That said, the Lord calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves and not to cast judgment on others. We welcome everyone to attend Journey Church without feeling unwelcomed or judged, and we respect the working of God in every person’s life. John 15:2; 1 Cor. 13:13; Matt. 7:1-2; Rom. 3:23

  • Regarding the Mission of the Church

    The church is to be involved in world missions. We believe that God has given the Church a Great Commission.

    • The first part of the Great Commission being to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that all will have the opportunity to hear and believe in Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:9-17; 2 Cor. 5:20
    • The second part of the Great Commission is to make disciples of all people, instructing them in the words of Jesus Christ and the Bible, and guiding them to walk in the way of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Cor. 10:5; Col. 1:28; Titus 1:1

    The church is to be “missional,” that is, the church is to see itself as a mission to culture, not integrating with or baptizing culture. The church, as the instrument of God, is called to carry out God’s mission in culture, and that mission is this: to show the world what it looks like when a community of people lives under the reign of God. The gospel is best portrayed by the church that believes it, embodies it, and testifies to it in all places at all times in any given culture. Acts 1:8; 2:41-47; 4:31-37; 12:5-17; 17:16-33; Rom. 12; 1 Cor. 6:9-11

  • Regarding the Lawsuits Between Believers

    We believe that Christians are to govern their actions in love. Based on the Bible’s teaching about having loving relationships, Christians are prohibited in the Bible from bringing civil lawsuits against others at the church to resolve personal disputes that are not of a criminal nature. We believe that most matters can be resolved personally and that the church contains many of the resources necessary to resolve personal disputes between members. We do believe, however, that a Christian may seek compensation for injuries from another Christian's insurance company as long as the claim is pursued without malice or slander. 1 Cor. 6:1-8; Eph. 4:31-32


    Furthermore, we do not believe that any lawsuit should be taken up frivolously or without prayer regardless of the offender. Christians are to govern their actions in love, allowing for opportunities of forgiveness and mercy, especially toward those who are not part of the church. Matt. 5:7, 9; 7:1; Rom. 12:16-21; Gal. 5:13-15; Eph. 4:31-32

  • Regarding the Sanctity of Human Life

    We believe that all human life is sacred, that human beings are made in the image of God, and that God has a time and purpose for all life and death. We at Journey Church believe that if the Lord creates a human life, He has a purpose and a reason for that life. Our feelings on the sanctity of life are summed up in the following paragraphs:


    We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Therefore, we do not support abortion as an option for an unwanted pregnancy. We believe that there are many other options for unplanned pregnancies, and we resolve not to stand in judgment but to stand with and assist anyone who is unable to support a baby. Job 3:16; Psalms 51:5; 139:14-16; Isa. 44:24; 49:1, 5; Jer. 1:5; 20:15-18; Luke 1:44


    We do not support euthanasia in any form, whether willingly or unwillingly. A person has the right to refuse medication or assistance, but assisted suicide is biblically wrong as is the murder of people deemed incapable of making decisions or people deemed as burdens on society. Because of this, we resolve to help those who are hurting, dying, or in need of assistance as much as possible. Gen. 9:6; Exo. 20:13; Num. 35:33


    While we do not stand in opposition to stem cell research, we do not believe in harvesting human embryos or using aborted children to support stem cell research. Because the human embryo is a human being made in the image of God for a specific purpose, using human embryos in this manner is biblically wrong and morally reprehensible. Psalm 119:73; 139:13-16; Matt. 1:18, 20-21; Luke 1:40-41
