We Believe

What anchors our faith and life together.

These convictions shape how we worship, teach, and follow Jesus at Waypoint Church.

  1. Scripture

    The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself and His plan for mankind. It is without error and completely reliable.

  2. God

    God is a perfect being who always was and always will be. He exists as one being with three co-equal persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

    • The Father

      Sovereignly directs the affairs of the world and has made salvation available to all.

    • The Son

      Offered Himself up as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, and is the only way by which people can be saved.

    • The Holy Spirit

      Draws all men to Himself, seals and empowers believers, and convicts the world of sin.

  3. Creation

    God created everything from nothing in six days, including the universe, the earth, the land, the sea, animals, and mankind.

  4. Man

    God created mankind to love Him and be in relationship with Him, but they chose to sin and were separated from God because of their sins.

  5. Salvation

    Mankind can do nothing to merit God’s forgiveness. Salvation is a gift that is offered to people by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone.

  6. Sanctification

    Believers are sanctified by Christ at the moment they are saved, but must at the same time become more like Him in practice.

  7. Perseverance

    All true believers will persevere till the end and see the final reward God has in store for them.

  8. The Church

    Serves as Christ’s hands and feet to the world. The primary purpose of the Church is to make disciples who make disciples.

  9. Baptism

    Involves a believer being put under the water (immersed), as a public declaration that he or she is following Christ.

  10. The Lord’s Supper

    Bread and juice are taken regularly by believers as a visible reminder of Christ’s suffering and death for them.

  11. Marriage

    God established the institution of marriage, whereby a man and woman are joined to one another in a covenant before God.

  12. Heaven & Hell

    All people will live eternally in Heaven or Hell based upon whether or not they received Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

  13. The End Times

    Jesus Christ will return one day to rescue the Church, put an end to sin, and judge the world.
