WE BELIEVE in one triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — revealed in Scripture and active in creation, redemption, and daily life. (Matthew 28:19)
WE BELIEVE Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life. There is no way to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)
WE BELIEVE humanity was created in God’s image but separated from Him through sin. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, restoring us to relationship with God and transforming us by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23–24; Ephesians 2:8–10)
WE BELIEVE in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, empowering followers of Jesus to live a holy life, bear spiritual fruit, and fulfill God’s calling. (Acts 1:8)
WE BELIEVE the Bible is the Word of God, inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
WE BELIEVE Christ is the Head of the Church. Our local church is led by a team rather than a single pastor. Our elders, teaching team, home group leaders, and other team leaders work together to care for and disciple our church family with humility and love. (Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Peter 5:2-3)
WE BELIEVE baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ, symbolizing our identification with His death, burial, and resurrection. (Romans 6:4, Matthew 28:19)
WE BELIEVE giving is an act of worship and stewardship, recognizing God’s ownership of all we have. We give systematically, generously, cheerfully, sacrificially, and purposefully to advance His Kingdom and bless others. (2 Corinthians 9:7)
WE BELIEVE the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as described in Scripture, continue today and are to be exercised in love, order, and humility for the building up of the Church. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7)

For nearly two thousand years, the Apostles’ Creed has helped Christians understand and affirm the core of our faith. Though churches and traditions may differ on some details, the creed reflects the essential truths of Scripture. At Heritage, we recognize and celebrate our fellowship with others in the Body of Christ who profess their faith in line with these timeless truths:

THE APOSTLES CREED
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the global church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. |
