Statement of Faith

Here at East Vancouver Community Church…
 
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17)
 
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death, in His physical resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future return in power and glory. (John 1, Matt 1:18; John 20:30-31; Hebrews 10:10-19; 1 Cor 15:13-20; Revelation 22:12-20)
 
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (John 3:5; Titus 3:5)
 
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (John 14:16-17, 26, 16:7-11; Acts 1:8)
 
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Corinthians 15:44)
 
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:6, 4:3-4)
