# What Does Eagle Creek Church Believe?

Eagle Creek Church believes historic, Bible-based Christianity: that the Bible is God's inspired Word, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins and physically rose from the dead, and that salvation is a free gift received by trusting in Him. Eagle Creek is non-denominational, and its mission is "empowering people to become all that God created them to be."

Here are the core beliefs, in plain English.

###

The Bible is the complete, inspired Word of God and the trustworthy, infallible guide for faith and daily life. When Eagle Creek teaches, it teaches from the Bible — and messages focus on connecting what it says to real, everyday life.

###

There is one God, revealed in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christians call this the **Trinity**. All three share the same eternal existence, divine character, complete power, knowledge, and presence.

###

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, physically died on a cross for our sins, and rose from the dead. He lives forever at God the Father's right hand and continually prays for us.

###

People were created by God but fell into sin — rebellion against God — and can't fix that on their own. Christ's sacrificial death paid the penalty for our sins. When we **repent** (turn away from sin and toward God) and believe in what Jesus did on our behalf, we receive the free gift of salvation. It can't be earned; it's received.

###

The Church isn't a building — it's the people who have accepted God's offer of redemption through Jesus. Its mission is to seek and save all who are lost in sin. That's why Eagle Creek exists: to help people far from God be filled with life in Christ.

###

The Holy Spirit gives believers power for holy living, sharing their faith, and spiritual gifts. Eagle Creek believes in relying daily on God's power for healing — spiritually, emotionally, and physically — and that God's plan is for us to cooperate with the Spirit's work and progressively grow more like Christ.

###

Eagle Creek exists to help people do four things:

- **Find God**
- **Make a Difference**
- **Connect in Community**
- **Live Generously**

The church's one-sentence mission:

*Empowering people to become all that God created them to be.*

###

- **What denomination is this?** Eagle Creek is non-denominational. See "What Denomination Is Eagle Creek Church?" for what that means and how the church is governed.
- **What about baptism?** Eagle Creek practices believer's baptism — a public step of faith after someone decides to follow Jesus. Sign-ups happen through the church's baptism form.
- **Do I have to believe all this to visit?** Not at all. Eagle Creek believes church is also a place for people who are still exploring their faith. Come with your questions — they're welcome.
