WHAT WE BELIEVE AT ASBURY

At the center of our life together as a community of faith, we hold to certain beliefs as followers of Christ. These truths are central to our identity, our mission and ministry. They are a vital part of who we are as Christ’s disciples. 
 
We believe:
  • In God, the Father Almighty, who created both the heavens and the earth.
  • In Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, fully human and fully divine, who died for our sins and was raised on the third day and now lives and reigns at the right hand of God. 
  • That by faith alone we are saved, receiving that saving grace by being born again as we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • In the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
  • In the resurrection and the life everlasting.
  • That we are to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.
  • That we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves.
  • That the Church is the body of Christ here on earth through which we are called to serve the Lord      
  • That we are called to support the church through our prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness.
  • That our faith is grounded in the Bible, illuminated by our experience of God, supported by reason and upheld by tradition.
