Below is the official doctrinal statement of CrossTrail Community Church. These are our core beliefs that define and summarize what we understand to be the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe in one God almighty, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and externally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ is true God and true man. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as at the perfect sacrifice for our sins, arose bodily from the grave and ascended to heaven where he is our Advocate.
We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict people of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, instruct, and empower the believer for Godly living and service.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and is the final authority for all Christians.
We believe in God’s Saving Grace that alone can restore sinful humanity, and which calls all people to repentance and to faith in Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross. Faith is evidenced by confession that Jesus Christ is Lord, by water baptism, and by a new life of devotion and ministry through the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Church as the spiritual Body and Bride of Christ, the Temple of the living God, of which Jesus is its only Head, composed of all who have been born of God to carry out his mission on Earth.
We believe in the future Second Coming of Jesus to judge the world, destroy the devil and enact the full glory of his Kingdom in the new Heaven and the new Earth.
We believe in the bodily Resurrection of all humankind: the believer in Christ into everlasting joy in the presence of God (Heaven), and the unbeliever into everlasting punishment away from God (Hell).
