NorthPointe Church Beliefs

He is the Son of God and the second person in the Trinity. Born of a virgin, he embodies the principles of the Christian community, being fully human and fully God. Over two thousand years ago, he walked the earth and radically transformed the culture around him. As the perfect sacrifice, he willingly endured a shameful death on a cross, taking upon himself the punishment we deserved for our sins, which aligns with the core values outlined in the Church mission statement of the Church of God faith.

Three days after his death, he was raised to life again, neutralizing the power of sin and death over our lives. Within the Christian community principles, those who accept Jesus Christ as Savior are no longer bound by the power of sin and have an eternity waiting for them in heaven. As our Lord, he calls us to personal and cultural transformation. Through our church mission statement, we embody the Church of God faith and strive to take on the likeness of Christ. In doing so, we seek to change the world through the love of God and offer the hope of Christ to all.

First, recognize that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). Second, understand that the consequence of sin is death, but God’s gift through Jesus Christ is eternal life (Rom 6:23). “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom 10:9 NIV). Embracing these truths reflects core Christian community principles and prepares you for a lasting connection within the Church of God faith.

It begins with a prayer. Talk to God. Ask Him to forgive your sins (1 John 1:9), thank Him for His sacrifice, and accept His gift to you. He’ll hear you, and you’ll begin a brand new life (2 Cor 5:17).

Next, let your friends and family know of your decision. Connect with a local church that upholds a strong church mission statement rooted in biblical teachings. Be baptized as a witness and affirmation of your decision. Share your experience of a new life in Christ with others, strengthening the community around you.
