Belief Statement of Way Maker Ministry

We Believe:

The Scriptures
The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God, without error in its original manuscripts. It stands as the full revelation of God’s will for humanity’s salvation and is the divine and final authority for all Christian faith, conduct, and life. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20

God
There is one true God, the Creator of all things, who is perfect and eternal. He exists in three distinct yet unified manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, fulfilling His will and expressing His love for all creation.

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified as the final sacrifice for humanity’s sins, and on the third day, rose bodily from the dead. He ascended to heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for believers as our Advocate and High Priest.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus Christ, convicts the world of sin, regenerates, and indwells the believer. He empowers, teaches, and guides each believer for godly living, spiritual growth, and effective service. John 14:26; Acts 1:8

Humanity
Created in God’s image, humanity fell into sin and became separated from God. Only through repentance and the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit can individuals receive salvation and new life in Christ. Genesis 1:26; Romans 5:12

Salvation
Salvation is a gift of God’s grace, given to those who, by faith, believe in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. Through faith, believers are justified, born anew by the Holy Spirit, and become children of God, with the hope of Jesus Christ’s imminent return. Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Baptism and Communion
We practice water baptism by immersion following repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as a public declaration of the believer’s death to sin and new life in Christ. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, often evidenced by speaking in tongues, empowers believers for service. Communion is a sacred remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice, open to all true believers in Christ.

Eternal Life and Judgment
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people. Believers will enter eternal joy and fellowship with Jesus Christ, while those who reject Him will face judgment and eternal separation from God.

The Church
Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, which is composed of all believers united by saving faith. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are one body, called to worship, serve, and proclaim the Gospel to the world.
