At Full Gospel Christian Center, our beliefs are grounded in the Word of God and centered on Jesus Christ. The following statements reflect the foundational truths we hold and teach.
We Believe
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God in its original writings and is the complete and final revelation of God for faith and life.
2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21
The One True God
We believe in one God who is personal and eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4; John 6:27; Acts 5:3–4; 1 John 5:20
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven.
John 1:1–14; John 20:30–31; 1 Timothy 3:16
The Sinfulness of Humanity
We believe that all people are sinners, guilty before God, deserving of judgment, and in need of a Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 3:19–26; Romans 5:12
Salvation
We believe that salvation from sin, death, and hell is by God’s grace alone, accomplished through the work of Jesus Christ, and received by faith apart from human merit or works.
John 14:6; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:1–10
We Believe
The Holy Spirit
We believe that all believers in Jesus Christ are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to live obedient and holy lives separated from sinful habits and lifestyles.
John 14:16–18; Ephesians 5:15–21
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a subsequent experience to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This experience is available to all believers, provides power to be witnesses for Christ, and is evidenced by speaking in tongues and the manifestation of other spiritual gifts.
Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44–48; 1 Corinthians 12:1–11
Biblical Marriage
We believe that Biblical marriage is a holy and sacred covenant established by God between one man (male at birth) and one woman (female at birth). We believe that Biblical marriage is the foundation for the family and essential to human society as ordained by God.
Genesis 1:27–28; Genesis 2:18–25; Genesis 5:1–2; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:9; John 2:1–2; Romans 7:1–3
We Believe
The Return of Christ
We believe in the visible and bodily return of Jesus Christ to this earth to judge the world and to claim His Bride, the Church.
1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; Revelation 1:7
Eternal Destiny
We believe in the eternal punishment of the unbeliever in hell and the eternal life of the believer in heaven.
Matthew 25:46; John 14:1–3; 2 Thessalonians 1:8–10; Revelation 20:11–15
The Church
We believe that all believers should gather in local churches for mutual edification, encouragement, evangelism, service, and worship.
Acts 2:41–47; Acts 14:21–27; Ephesians 4:1–16
Divine Healing
We believe in divine healing for the human body, made available through the finished work of Christ and received through the prayer of faith.
1 Peter 2:24; James 5:14–15
Ordinances of the Church
We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances established by Christ and should be practiced by the Church.
Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3–10; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
