What We Believe

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

Core Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of Church on the Rock-NHV based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in these biblical doctrines.

God

God is the creator of Heaven and earth. He is sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.  He the perfect and Holy God who has no rival and is ultimate in authority.

Mankind

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory to love and be loved. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of God's creation.

The Fall

When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, sin entered the world. As a result, all of mankind has been born with a sin nature that spiritually separates us from God.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. Jesus rose from the grave and now, by grace, offers eternal life as a free gift, to all who believe and accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.  Salvation can be found in Christ alone.

Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions.

The Church

The Church is the visible body of Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit to glorify God through word and deed throughout the earth.  The Church operates on earth to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the unsaved and saved alike and make disciples.
