Our statement of faith simply states what we believe as a Christian Church.

At EastPointe, we believe everything the Bible teaches. We believe that the Bible is God’s word spoken directly through His chosen messengers.  We believe that the Bible is inspired, accurate and the final authority. Therefore, everything we believe is taken directly from the word of God  (Psalm 119:9-16; I Timothy 4:13; II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:20-21)

• God
  We believe that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.  God manifests Himself in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that God desires a personal relationship with every person created.  (Genesis 1 & 2; John 14:15-21; Colossians 3:15-23)
   
• Sin
  We believe that sin separates us from God. Sin is any conscious thought or action that displeases God. Sin entered the world through Adam who disobeyed God in the garden of Eden.  We are imperfect people in need of One who can save us from sin. (Genesis 3; Romans 3:22-24; Romans 5:12-13)
   
• Jesus
  We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary; that He was both fully human and fully divine.  He was sinless and gave His life for the sins of the world through His cruel and merciless death on a cross.  He arose bodily from the dead on the third day and sits at the right hand of His father and our father, God.  Jesus is the only way to the Father.  (John 1:14; John 3:16; II Peter 2:18; Luke 1:26-38; Hebrews 1:1-4; John 14:1-7)
   
• The Holy Spirit
  The Holy Spirit is the very presence of God and Jesus. The Holy Spirit comes and takes up residence in the heart of everyone who accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior.
  
  The Holy Spirit is called the “person” of God. The Holy Spirit’s role is to convict the world of sin, to draw the seeker to the Lord, to comfort, to counsel, to direct and to equip every believer with gifts to accomplish the will of God. (John 6:44; John 14:1-7; John 16:5-15; Acts 2:38; Galatians 5:22-23)
   
• Salvation
  Jesus was sent to earth for one purpose, to save people from their sins.  Everyone is in need of a Savior.  The Bible teaches that we are “…saved by grace, through faith, and this is not of our own ability, rather it is a gift from God.”
  
  Salvation comes through hearing the word of God and believing what it says; acknowledging our sinful condition and repenting of our sin, sharing our need and acceptance of Jesus, being baptized into Jesus and receiving the gift of His Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 2:1-10; Romans 3:10-24; Romans 6:1-14; Acts 2:36-41)
   
• Discipleship
  Every person who accepts Jesus as Savior and Lord needs a pathway for growth in their personal relationship with Him.  A small group or one-on-one teaching allows the new believer to study and apply the word of God to all of daily life while enjoying fellowship and encouraging accountability. Discipleship helps the new believer discover their life mission and learn how to share the saving message of Jesus with others. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47; II Timothy 2:15)
   
• The Church
  Simply put, the church is God’s family on earth. The church is a community of believers that provides an environment of encouragement and growth.  Within the church there are “mini-churches” that we refer to as “Pointe Groups” which allow for deeper friendships, study, prayer and the meeting of one another’s needs.
  
  Therefore, the church can continue to grow larger and smaller at the same time.   The Bible says “…not to forsake the gathering of the assembly.” This is written for our benefit. By gathering weekly we experience the blessings of true community.  (Acts 2:42-47; Galatians 6:10; Hebrews 10:24-25)
