Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Center Point Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4 / Isaiah 43:10,11 / Matthew 28:19 / Luke 3:22
Deuteronomy 6:4 / Isaiah 43:10,11 / Matthew 28:19 / Luke 3:22
Scripture
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 / 1 Thessalonians 2:13 / 2 Peter 1:21
2 Timothy 3:15-17 / 1 Thessalonians 2:13 / 2 Peter 1:21
The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
Genesis 1:26,27 / Genesis 2:17 / Genesis 3:6 / Romans 5:12-19
Genesis 1:26,27 / Genesis 2:17 / Genesis 3:6 / Romans 5:12-19
Salvation
Humanity's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
Luke 24:49 / Acts 1:4 / Acts 1:8 / 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
Luke 24:49 / Acts 1:4 / Acts 1:8 / 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
The Church and Its Mission
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.
Ephesians 1:22,23 / Ephesians 2:22 / Hebrews 12:23
Ephesians 1:22,23 / Ephesians 2:22 / Hebrews 12:23
The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
