| What
We Believe:
God
God is the loving Creator of all that exists. God is eternal.
He is completely good, knowing all things and possessing
all power. He exists in three persons, yet is One God. These
three persons are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
All are co-equal, co-existent, and co-eternal. God desires
to have a close relationship with every person and invites
everyone to embrace Him completely. Genesis 1:1, 26, 27;
Genesis 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2
Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:9-10
Father
God, the Father cares for all He has
made (James 1:17). He is revealed to us through Jesus
Christ (Matthew 11:27). He desires that we seek Him and
develop a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ God expressed
Himself in human form (incarnation) through Jesus Christ,
His Son. Jesus was born of a virgin named Mary. He taught
us about the Kingdom of God, performed miracles and lived
a sinless life. Though without sin, Jesus Christ allowed
Himself to be crucified as the perfect sacrifice for the
sins of humanity. Jesus died on the cross and was buried
in a tomb. Three days later, Jesus arose physically from
the dead, encouraged His followers and was seen alive
by hundreds. He returned to Heaven to prepare a place
for Christians and to wait for the time to bring His Kingdom
into its fullness. Jesus desires to have a loving, growing,
dynamic relationship with every person. Matthew 1:22,
23; Matthew 22:36-40; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; John 14:6-30;
Hebrews 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8;
Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit possesses all the
attributes of Deity. The primary ministry of the Holy
Spirit is to glorify and give testimony to Jesus Christ.
To that end, the Holy Spirit was sent to live in everyone
who is a Christian. He teaches, comforts, guides, sanctifies,
regenerates, indwells, teaches and empowers each Christian.
He gives us diverse spiritual gifts to benefit the church,
reach out to the unsaved and help us to live like Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; John 14:16, 17; Acts
1:8; Acts 2:38; Romans 5:5; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 1 Corinthians
3:16; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25;
Ephesians 5:11; Ephesians 4; Titus 3:5; and Romans 12
The Church
The church should pursue correct doctrine and strive to
be culturally relevant. The church is a divinely instituted
body that has been given the mission of accomplishing God’s
purposes on earth. The church is the body and bride of Christ
on earth, founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of
Christians everywhere. Each local church is God’s primary
means of bringing His people to spiritual maturity and equipping
them for service to the Lord and one another. The church
is a gathering place for love, support, encouragement, accountability,
service, worship and growth for people who share a common
bond in Christ. Jesus has called His church to proclaim
the Gospel to the entire world. Matthew 16:13-18; Matthew
22:34-40; Matthew 28:18-20; John 15:5; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42-47;
Acts 5:42; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 3:15
The Bible
The Bible, in its entirety, is God’s inspired and perfect
message to all people. It is God’s primary way to communicate
with us. It is our obligation to seek, understand and apply
God’s message. Written by human authors under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Bible is the source of
truth for Christian beliefs and successful living. We believe
God also guides our everyday lives through the Holy Spirit,
but the Spirit never conflicts with the truth revealed in
the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13;
Psalm 119:105, 160; Psalm 12:6; Proverbs 30:5.
Salvation
Though man (Adam and Eve) was originally created in the
image and likeness of God, he fell, by his own choice, into
sin and death. Men and women can never make up for their
sin by self-improvement or by doing good deeds. The grace
and mercy of God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus
Christ is necessary to take away the sins of humanity.
-Every person has sinned and is in
need of salvation. Romans 3:23
-Sin brings physical and spiritual death. Romans 6:23
-Jesus Christ died for our sins. Romans 5:8; John 3:16
-We can share in eternal life with Jesus Christ by being
born again. Romans 6:23
-Salvation is God’s gift of grace to us. There is nothing
we can do to earn salvation. Romans 6:22 & 23; Ephesians
2:8
-Our Faith Response to the Lord’s Gracious Offer of Salvation:
*Have faith in Jesus Christ and His ability to save humanity
-- Acts 16:31
*Turn from our life of sin -- Acts 17:30
*Confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior -- Acts 8:37
*Follow the instructions of Jesus and be baptized by immersion
in water -- Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:27; Matthew 28; Mark
16:16

Christian Living
God desires that we develop a loving,
growing, dynamic relationship with the Jesus Christ. The
Christian life is the best way to experience joy, thrive
and succeed. God desires that His people enjoy the highest
quality of life possible. Through the power of the Holy
Spirit, we begin a life-long process of being transformed
and becoming more like Jesus Christ. Christians strive
to be like Jesus and become complete in Jesus Christ.

Spirit -- Galatians 5:22-23

for service -- Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 4:1-16

1:28
2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 2:13;
Ephesians 5:1-18; Romans 12:1, 2; Colossians 1:28
Leadership
The Lord has wisely defined specific
leadership roles in the organization of His church.
Jesus Christ is the head of
the church. Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 5:23
Elder -- overseer and shepherd of the church. 1
Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9.
Deacon/Deaconness -- volunteer servant leader
who manages and leads specific ministries at the Metro
Church, known as Ministry Leader. 1 Timothy 3:8-13
Teacher/Preacher -- recruited by ministry staff
or Ministry Leaders and serves under the oversight of
the Elders.
Pastor/Minister -- often called to full time ministry
and should fulfill the qualifications of an Elder. At
the Metro Church, the Senior Minister is responsible for
the development and leadership of the ministries of the
Metro Church and is responsible in his duties to the Elders.
Ephesians 4:11
Return of Christ Jesus has
promised to return. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; Revelation
16:15; Revelation 22; Luke 12:35-40
