WHAT WE BELIEVE

The following are the core beliefs of Mount Moriah Christian Center based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.  God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
(John 1:1-3, Genesis1, Psalm 99:9, Hebrews 13:8)

Our Lord Jesus Christ is God, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and performed miracles. His death and resurrection provided atonement for our sins and the hope of a glorious future home in Heaven.
(John 3:16; John 14:1-3; Romans 5:1-11)

He is the third person of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is integral in the process of sanctification and enables the Christian to live a holy life.
(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; I Corinthians 12:1-31; Acts 8:12-17)

We are a Full Gospel church. We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God.
(II Timothy 3:15-17; I Thessalonians 2:13; II Peter 1:21)

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
(Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7; 1 Corinthians 15:47-49)

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, die spiritually and fracture all of creation ever since that time.
(Gen. 1:26-27; 2:17, 3:6; Rom. 5:12-19)

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. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
(John 3:16-18; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6)

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to demonstrate the glory of God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
(Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16)

Jesus Christ is returning one day to collect His people from the Earth. He will ultimately judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of
God's kingdom on earth.
(I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13;
I Corinthians 15:51-52)
