Statement of Faith

Our Beliefs & Values

Our beliefs

This brief statement of faith does not cover the full extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and authoritative Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Harvest Cry’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our President and Elders are Harvest Cry’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

God

We believe in only one God who has existed eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, his virgin birth, his sinless life, his miracles, his death as an atonement for sin through the shedding of blood, his bodily resurrection, his ascension to heaven, and his personal return in power and glory. We believe in the bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead for both salvation and final judgment.

Bible

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God through which God has disclosed his character, his will, and his plan of redemption.

Human Beings

We believe that human beings are sinful, guilty, and lost without Christ and that salvation from the consequences of sin comes only through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross where he bore our sins and died on our behalf.

Salvation

We believe that sinners are made right before God only by God’s grace, through faith in Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit

We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit whose presence enables believers to live by faith and grow in spiritual maturity, gives Spiritual Gifts for today, and enables believers to operate in power.
