Statement of Faith

Our Statement of Faith, like all doctrine and theology, is a declaration of truths about "The Truth." It is an attempt to give us a handle on His Gospel, as we understand it.

  • We Believe in One God Who Exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit
  • We Believe in Jesus Christ
  • We Believe in the Sanctity of Human Life
  • We Believe in Justification by Faith
  • We Believe in Baptism
  • We Believe in the Holy Spirit
  • We Believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an Endowment of Power
  • We Believe in the Holy Scriptures
  • We Believe in Sanctification
  • We Believe in the Priesthood of the Believer
  • We Believe in the Equipping of the Saints for the Work of the Ministry
  • We Believe in Marriage
  • We Believe in One Holy Christian and Apostolic Church
  • We Believe in the Unity of the Church
  • We Believe in the Local Church
  • We Believe that Local Churches Need Friends
  • We Believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind and is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Covenant Word Church's faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Board is Covenant Word Church's final interpretive authority on the Bible's meaning and application.

We Believe in One God Who Exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit 
We believe there is only one God, revealed as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Deuteronomy 6:4, 2 Corinthians 13:14, John 1:1) In the New Testament, time and time again we see the expression of God the Father, Jesus the Son of God and God the Holy Spirit.

  • God as Father, Jesus as Son and the Holy Ghost are in complete unity.
  • All are a part of creation and vital to the salvation of the cosmos with specific functions.
  • God as Father is the master architect of the entire plan of creation.
  • Jesus is the expression of God's bridge between Himself and man (the Chief Minister).
  • The Holy Ghost is the Revealer of Truth and serves as a down payment for salvation for eternity (the gift).
  • God is in Jesus and Jesus is in God with the Holy Ghost as the Divine Interpreter. They are equal in purpose, equal in power, and equal in authority; completely and totally unified.
  • Therefore, we conclude that there is one God manifest in three persons.
