God the Son – Jesus Christ
Our Redeemer, Savior, and Living King
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He became fully man while remaining fully God—born of a virgin and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless life and died on the cross as our substitute, taking the punishment we deserved. He rose from the dead, securing our salvation, and now reigns at the right hand of God as our Advocate, Intercessor, and soon-coming King.

God the Holy Spirit
Our Counselor, Convicter, and Empowering Presence
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at the moment of salvation, convicts the world of sin, guides believers into truth, and enables Christians to live holy and obedient lives according to God’s Word.
📖 Key Scriptures:
John 16:8–13 | Romans 8:9 | 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 | Galatians 5:16–25
Salvation
By Grace Alone, Through Faith Alone, in Christ Alone
We believe that all people are born in sin, separated from God, and unable to save themselves. But through Jesus, salvation is offered as a free gift—by grace, through faith. When we repent and trust in Christ, we are forgiven, made new, and reconciled to God. Salvation is not earned; it is received. And those who are truly saved are kept secure by the power of God forever.
📖 Key Scriptures:
Acts 20:21 | Romans 3:23–24, 6:23 | John 3:16 | Ephesians 2:8–9
Colossians 1:13–14 | 1 John 5:11–13
The Church
A Family of Faith on Mission Together
We believe the local church is the body and bride of Christ, made up of born-again believers. The church exists to glorify God, make disciples, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is self-governing and led by Christ alone. We observe two ordinances—baptism and the Lord’s Supper—as public declarations of faith and reminders of God’s work in our lives. The church isn’t a building—it’s a people, and every believer has a place in it.
📖 Key Scriptures:
Matthew 28:18–20 | Acts 2:38–47 | 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, 12:12–13
Colossians 1:18 | Hebrews 10:24–25, 13:17
Spiritual Gifts
For This Church Age
We believe that the miraculous sign gifts, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary and served a specific purpose during the apostolic era. We believe that speaking in tongues was never the evidence of the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit. While God is able and does answer prayer for physical healing according to His will, the complete redemption of the believer’s body awaits the resurrection.
📖 Key Scriptures:
Mark 16:20 | Hebrews 2:3–4 | 1 Corinthians 13:8–10 | Ephesians 2:20 | 1 Corinthians 14:22
Freedom in Christ
The Truth Shall Make You Free
We believe that lasting freedom from sin, addiction, strongholds, emotional wounds, and spiritual bondage is found only through the saving power of Jesus Christ and obedience to the truth of God’s Word.
📖 Key Scriptures:
John 8:31–32, 36 | Romans 12:1–2 | 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 | Galatians 5:1
Our Desire
We welcome everyone to attend our services and ministries. People from many different church backgrounds attend Lifeline Ministries; however, all of our preaching, teaching, and ministry are governed solely by the Holy Scriptures. Our desire is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ, faithfully teach His Word, make disciples, strengthen families, and help people find lasting freedom through the truth of God’s Word.
