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.
