WHAT WE BELIEVE

Day3 Church lives for Jesus - knowing culture, loving people, and seeing lives transformed to live for Jesus.


The Scriptures


We believe the Bible is God's Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

(II Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21, II Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105,160, Psalm 12:6, Proverbs 30:5) 


The Godhead


We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections

(Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14) 


The Person and Work of Christ


We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man

(John 1:1–2, 14; Luke 1:35). 


We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. 

(Romans 3:24; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3–5) 


We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry as Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate. 

(Acts 1:9, 10; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:24; Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1–2) 


We believe Jesus is coming again to judge the living and the dead. 

(1 Peter 4:5; Romans 14:9; 2 Timothy 4:1) 


The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit


We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. 

(John 16:8–11; 2 Corinthians 3:6; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 5:18) 


Salvation


We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.

 (Ephesians 2:8–10; John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18–19) 


Eternal Security and Assurance of Believers


We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. 

(John 6:37–40; 10:27–30; Romans 8:1, 38, 39; 1 Corinthians 1:4–8; 1 Peter 1:5) 


We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word, which clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for the flesh

(Romans 13:13, 14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11–15) 


The Church 


We believe that the church, which is the body and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons. 

(Ephesians 1:22, 23; 5:25–27; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; 2 Corinthians 11:2)


We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.

 (Acts 14:27; 18:22; 20:17; 1 Timothy 3:1–3; Titus 1:5–11)


We believe in the autonomy of the local churches, free of any external authority and control. 

(Acts 13:1–4; 15:19–31; 20:28; Romans 16:1,4; 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16; 1 Corinthians 5:4–7, 13; 1 Peter 5:1–4) 


We recognize believer’s baptism and the Lord’s supper as scriptural means of testimony for the church.

 (Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 2:41, 42; Acts 18:8; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26).
