What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Woodstream Church 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.

Jesus Christ was virgin Born; was crucified and died, was buried, and rose from the grave in bodily form.
And Jesus Christ is coming again.
The Bible is Inspired – divine influence; God-breathed
The Bible is Infallible – dependable; incapable of failing
The Bible is Inerrant – no errors
The Bible is Immutable – unchanging; unchangeable
Baptist – Immersion in water after salvation.
We are not a branch of a mother church, nor dependent on any other church.

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.

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

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.

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, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

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.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.

We want to introduce you to the identity, ministry, and resources of Woodstream Church.
It is our hope that you would not only visit us, but experience what God is doing in and through us to glorify Himself.
