970 Church Mission

Share the Gospel, Make Disciples, Live & Love Like Jesus

Who We Are

  • We are Pentecostal, charismatic in practice. We are non-denominational in feel.  
  • We believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, and He is the only way to the Father.  
  • We believe we have a heavenly Father who loves people, and we do too, to the best of our ability. 
  • We believe that while our music is contemporary, our worship is unto the Lord: to crawl up onto an altar as a living sacrifice, to present ourselves to be known by the Living God, and to know those within 970 Church.  
  • We preach the Word of God boldly and compassionately.  
  • We believe in prayer ministry.  
  • We love the presence of the Lord and aren't afraid to make that our priority, setting aside other plans when appropriate.  
  • We believe the Holy Spirit still moves today, just like in the book of Acts.

Our Statement of Faith

As a body of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we care about and are committed to the following truths based on the infallible Word of God:

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11).

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, a divine revelation to man, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We are committed to its authority as our guide in all matters of life and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21).

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, and His full and complete atoning work on the cross. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, He secured salvation for all humanity. His shed blood is the only means of redemption and forgiveness of sin (John 1:1, 14; 1 Peter 2:24; Hebrews 9:22).

We believe that salvation is a gift from God, offered freely to all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ. It is not earned by works but is received by grace through faith in Christ's finished work on the cross. The forgiveness of sin is a free gift to those who confess their sins and believe in Him (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:23-25; Romans 10:9-10).

Through salvation, we are not only forgiven but are also spiritually reborn into God's family. The Holy Spirit indwells us, confirming our new identity as sons and daughters of God. We are joint-heirs with Christ and have been granted access to the Father (John 1:12; Romans 8:15-17; Galatians 4:4-7).

It is an ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, leading us to grow in holiness and conform more fully to the image of Christ. This is not a state of sinless perfection, but a pursuit of relational wholeness with people and the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 12:14; Philippians 2:12-13).

We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct and subsequent experience to salvation, promised by Jesus to empower believers for a life of service and witness by the demonstration of the  Fruit and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:1-6, Galatians 5:16-25).

We believe in the universal Church, the Body of Christ, of which Jesus is the head. We are called to be His hands and feet, preaching the Gospel to all nations, making disciples, and demonstrating the love and power of God through the work of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-18; Ephesians 4:11-12).

We believe that divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the Atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:14-16).

We believe in the imminent, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church. This is our blessed hope and a foundational truth of the Christian faith (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13; Revelation 22:20).

We believe in the final judgment of all people. The righteous will receive eternal life with Christ, and the unrighteous will face eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11-15).
