We believe in the historic Christian faith, reflected in these statements about God.
He is the loving Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen.
He is eternal and completely good, knowing all things, having all power and majesty. God exists as the Trinity, in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He passionately desires relationship with us and towards this end continually invites us into a relationship of faith, friendship, learning, and service.

Jesus Christ
God expressed himself in human form through Jesus Christ, His Son, born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified for the sins of us all, was buried, rose again from the dead, and ascended to heaven.

Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, sent from God to live inside all who believe in Jesus Christ, teaches, comforts, and empowers us, giving each follower diverse gifts, fostering unity, interdependence, productivity, Christ-like character, and love among Christians. The empowering of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Father, is available for every Christian.

Bible
We believe that God speaks to us in the Bible, and that it is our privilege to seek to understand God's message and apply it responsibly to our lives. The Bible is our standard in all we say and do. We believe that God's unchangeable Biblical message should be presented in relevant and contemporary ways understandable by the people in our community.

Salvation
All people are created with dignity and value in the image of God, to live in a vital relationship with God. However, through our sin (failing to live by God's moral standards), we break our intended relationship with God and we experience the destructive consequences of that broken relationship, spiritually and socially, in this life and beyond.
However, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to rescue us from those consequences and to restore our broken relationships with God and others, through Christ's death on the cross, a perfect act of redemption for each of us. Salvation comes to us on the basis of God's grace through faith in Jesus alone. We receive the free gift of forgiveness and are spiritually reborn through repenting of our sins and believing in Jesus Christ. Living a holy life and doing good works does not save us, but they are the characteristics of a repentant, believing person.
I Peter 2:24 and 3:18; Romans 3:9-28, 6:23, and 10:9-10;
John 3:16 and 5:24; Ephesians 2:1-10; Titus 3:3-8; James 2:14-26
We believe in partnering with Christians from a variety of backgrounds and traditions to impact the world with the good news of Jesus Christ. Bethel Church of Liberty is affiliated with the Assemblies of God organization. For further information on the Assemblies statement of beliefs go to ag.org
