Our Beliefs
We live in shifting times but are rooted in eternal truths, the teachings of Holy Scripture.
Here at Hope Unlimited Church, we are guided by certain foundational beliefs and shaping values.
1
The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures both Old and New Testament are the inspired, infallible revelation of God to man and the authority of faith and conduct.
2
The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the “I AM,” the Creator, and Redeemer of mankind.
3
The Deity of Jesus
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God.
4
The Salvation of Man
Man’s only hope is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation is by faith through grace and demonstrated in repentance.
5
The Ordinances of the Church
Water Baptism. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and by full immersion.
Holy Communion. The Lord’s Supper consisting of the Body and Blood represented in the fruit of the vine and bread.

10
The Millennial Reign
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture and a return to earth by Christ with His saints for a thousand year reign.
11
The New Heaven and Earth
All of God’s children will reign forever in a new heaven and a new earth.
12
Marriage
We believe that because God our Creator established marriage as a sacred institution between one man and one woman, the idea that marriage is a covenant only between one man and one woman has been the traditional definition of marriage for all of human history.
13
Sanctity of Life
We believe that human life begins at conception and human beings have been made to be in relationship with God, who created each person’s inmost being, knit together in the mother’s womb. As God’s individual, personal creation, each person is awesomely and wonderfully made. God has planned and ordained all the days of every person’s life—even before a single day began.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13–14, 16
