Our Core Beliefs

Discovery's core beliefs are the foundation of this church and are organized into three categories: beliefs about God; beliefs about people; and beliefs about the Church, the Bible, and Christ's return.

Beliefs About God
  • Jesus was sent by the Father to live on earth; he was fully God and fully human, yet had no sin. Jesus willingly laid down his life and, after three days, rose from the grave. In doing this, Jesus fulfilled the payment for the world’s debt of sin. (Luke 1:31, 35; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

  • The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and Son to convict the world of sin and to empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He lives in every believer and is a constant helper, teacher, and guide. (John 14:16-17)

Beliefs About People
  • All people are sinners and need God’s forgiveness. (Romans 3:23)

  • Those who confess and turn from their sin, trusting in Jesus Christ, will be saved by grace and become children of God, with the promise of eternal life. (John 3:16-17; Galatians 3:26)

Beliefs About The Church, The Bible, and Christ’s Return
  • Jesus Christ is the head of the church and all believing people are members. (Ephesians 4:15-16)

  • The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
