we believe

God
There is only one true and living God, and He exists eternally in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each of which is equally deserving of our worship and obedience.

Mankind
We are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character, the supreme object of His creation. Adam's sin of disobedience made all of mankind subject to the wrath of God, inherently corrupt and utterly incapable of living in a manner acceptable to God. Every human born since Adam has been sinful by nature. Therefore, our salvation is entirely though faith and the redemptive death of Jesus Christ.

Eternity
Every person will exist eternally either separated from God or in union with God. To be eternally separated from God is hell and to be eternally in union with Him is heaven.

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is co-equal with God the Father and in His accepting the characteristics of humanity, Jesus became simultaneously both fully man and fully God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life, and laid aside His right to the prerogatives of coexistence with God, instead taking on the status of a servant. He accomplished our redemption through His sacrificial death on the cross, was resurrected and ascended to heaven. His death was voluntary and was made in full substitution for us, that we might be freed from the punishment for our sins.

Salvation
Salvation is gained by submissive faith in Christ alone, and not by any work of man. Our salvation was purchased by the shed blood of Christ. We did not deserve it. We could never earn it. We can never lose it. No power in the universe can separate God's children from Him.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third divine person of the trinity, co-equal with God the Father and Jesus the Son. His work is to convict the world of sin, to sanctify, instruct, administer spiritual gifts and empower the church for service and seal believers to the day of redemption.

The Bible
The Bible is God's special, inerrant and sufficient revelation to man. Every word of the 66 books of the Bible is God-breathed, inspired, and unique among all written religious documents.

The Return of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ will return to the Earth, at a time that cannot be known to man. When He returns, He will call forth all believers, who will be called forth from the Earth. There will be a seven-year tribulation period after which Christ will come to Earth to where He will reign for a thousand years. At the close of that millennium, the saved will enter an eternal state of perfect fellowship with God and with one another. 

our vision

Create Experiences with God:   The presence of God will change your life.  Our vision is to create atmospheres and environments for you to experience the love and power of God in a personal way.  We want every area of Stones Crossing to be a safe place to hear a dangerous message. 

 

Be transformed into the image of Christ:  The truth transforms us.  It is true that God accepts you where you are, but he never leaves you there.  The Spirit of God uses the Word of God to make us like his Son, Jesus Christ.  Our vision is to facilitate opportunities for growth and transformation through teaching and application of God’s Word.  The bible says “God’s gracious Word can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need. (Acts 20:32)

 

Do life together as we reach out to the world: God hates loneliness.  The Bible knows nothing of solitary saints and spiritual hermits.  The Bible says: we are put together, joined together, built together, members together, heirs together, fitted together and held together.  You are not your own anymore.  Our vision is to cultivate a place where you can do life together with other Christ followers and share that God-life with a hurting and needy world.
