True Hope Church is a non-denominational church with the following Biblical convictions.

We believe...

The Scriptures are true, authoritative and sufficient (Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 46:9-10; John 17:3, 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 1 Timothy 2:5).

The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. The Father is neither the Son nor the Holy Spirit. The Son is neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son. The Father, Son and Spirit are distinct in persons yet one in essence. (Genesis 1:26; Psalm 45:6- 7; Psalm 110:1; Matthew 3: 13-17; Matthew 28: 17-20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6).

All of humanity (Christ excluded), by birth and action is a sinner before God (Genesis 6:5; Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23; 5:8, 12-21, 7:18; Ephesians 2:1-3).

The deserved penalty for sin is death, both physical and spiritual, and eternal (Genesis 2:15-17; Genesis 3:19, Romans 5:12; 6:23, James 1:14-15).

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, was born of a virgin and is both genuinely God and genuinely human (Matthew 1:20; Luke 2:52; John 1:1-4, 14; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3).

Jesus Christ alone died as our substitute to pay the penalty for our sins (John 1:29; 10:1-18, Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 1:4; 1 Peter 3:18).

Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-53; John 1:20-21:25; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34).

Jesus Christ physically ascended into heaven and will one day physically return (John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 9:28; 1 John 3:2; Revelation 1:7).

There will be a future physical resurrection of the dead. Those who trust in Jesus Christ alone will be raised to eternal life. Those who have not trusted in Jesus Christ will be raised to eternal punishment (Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15).

Only by trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone can we be reconciled to God through faith and repentance and experience true life and joy (John 3:18, 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21 - 26; 1 Timothy 2: 5-6).
