Dunwoody Community Church
Beliefs
| There is one true Holy God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and possess all the attributes of nature, deity, and personality. |
| Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son. As the second Person of the Trinity, He is co-equal with the Father. As true God and true man, He allowed Himself to be born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life of perfect obedience to the Father, and voluntarily offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins by dying on a cross as our substitute. |
| The Holy Spirit is a Person and He is God, being co-equal with the Father and the Son. He permanently indwells every Christian from the moment of salvation, and provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of Scriptural truth, and guidance in doing what is right. |
| The Bible is the Word of God, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian faith and living, and is the final authority on all matters on which it bears. |
| Salvation is God's free gift to us, accepted by faith. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life to Jesus Christ, trusting in Him alone for forgiveness of our sins, we are saved. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God and is eternally secure. |
| The Church is the living Body of Christ on earth and consists of all believers. It exists to display a passion for Jesus Christ, to demonstrate a compassion for people, to develop fully devoted ollowers of Jesus Christ, and to declare God's love to people who do not yet know Jesus Christ. |
| In essential* beliefs | We have unity. |
| In non-essential beliefs | We have liberty. |
| In all beliefs | We show charity. |
* The essentials of the Christian faith include the deity, death, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the sinfulness of man, and salvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
