Dream Center Evansville Statement of Faith

The Bible: We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by inspiration of God, contain all truth necessary for faith and Christian living (2nd Timothy 3:16).
God: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
Jesus: We believe that Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Triune Godhead, eternally one with the Father, became a man by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. Jesus, though sharing in our humanity completely, lived a perfect and sinless life. (John 6:35, John 14:6, Philippians 2:5-7, Colossians 1:15-20, John 1:1-3, Luke 22:66-71, John 5:14-18).
Salvation: All have sinned and the wages of sin is death. We believe that because of God’s divine love for us, Jesus Christ, by His suffering, the shedding of His blood, and His death on the cross, made a payment in our place for all human sin, and that this sacrifice is the only ground of salvation.
