STATEMENT OF FAITH
What We Believe
At Calvary Chapel Eastside, we hold firmly to the historic truths of the Christian faith, rooted in God’s Word and centered on Jesus Christ.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God—true and without error in the original writings. It is our final authority for faith and life, the foundation for all we believe and practice.
God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the full deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ:
His virgin birth
His sinless life
His miracles
His atoning death on the cross through His shed blood
His bodily resurrection
His ascension to the right hand of the Father
His personal and glorious return in power.
Only through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord can we receive forgiveness and eternal life.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering us to live godly lives and equipping the Church for ministry.
We affirm the gifts of the Spirit as evidence of His presence. We place no emphasis on any one gift, but remain open to all that the Spirit desires to give for the building up of Christ’s body.
Salvation
We believe all people are lost and in need of salvation. Our only hope of redemption is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and His shed blood on the cross.
Resurrection and Eternity
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost:
The saved to eternal life with God.
The lost to eternal separation from Him.
The Church
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ. Together, as His body, we are called to glorify Him and make Him known to the world.
