We believe that the Bible is inerrant, infallible, and inspired. This means the Bible is without error, unfailing, and is the very words of God. The Bible must be carefully studied, interpreted, and applied in light of its original context.

Psalm 119:10-11

2 Timothy 3:14-17

We believe in the Holy Trinity. God is one but exists eternally in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes (God is transcendent yet personal, eternal yet present, all powerful, all knowing, holy, just, and loving).

Deut. 6:4

Matt. 28:19

2 Cor. 13:14

John 14:10, 26

We believe that Jesus is God, Lord, Messiah, and Savior of the world. We believe He was born of the virgin Mary; He is fully man, but never ceasing to be God. He lived a sinless life and died a sacrificial death for our redemption. We believe He really resurrected on the third day. All who place their faith in Him will have eternal life. All who live for Him will find the greatest peace and the deepest meaning.

John 1:1-2

Luke 1:35

Phil. 2:5-8

Acts 2:14-36

Romans 3:24-25

Hebrews 9:23-28

We believe the Holy Spirit is equal with God. We believe the Holy Spirit is active in the world today. The Holy Spirit indwells, gifts, and seals believers. He convicts the world of truth, comforts the hurting, and enlightens our understanding of Scripture.

Romans 8:9

I Corinthians 12:12-14

2 Corinthians 3:6

We believe that the hope of Jesus is for everyone. The message of hope is seen more visibly in the world when believers share the love of God. Hope is our mission. City Hope wants to partner with you to share hope with your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers!

Mark 1:14-18

Romans 1:1-17

We believe that all people were created in God’s image and that God wants a personal relationship with everyone. However, because of sin, we are separated from God. Because of God’s love, He sent his own Son, Jesus, to die for our sins so that anyone who believes in him will have eternal life and enter into a restored relationship with God. We believe that Salvation is through Jesus alone, by grace alone, received by faith alone (saving faith is the moment a person places their trust in Jesus and turns from their sins).

Romans 3:23, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-10

John 3:16-17

Ephesians 2:8-10

John 14:6

We believe the Church is made up of all people who have become genuine believers in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Church is not a religious institution or denomination. The Church exists to worship God, glorify God, and make disciples all over the world.

I Corinthians 12:12-27

We believe that baptism is the first step of obedience after a person has placed faith in Jesus for salvation. Baptism is a symbol of the death and resurrection of Jesus and is a believer's testimony to the world of their belief.

Matthew 3:13-17, 28:19-20

We believe that communion is a critical celebration and solemn reminder of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. We believe communion is intended to be observed by believers with reverence.
