THE WAY CHURCH STATEMENT OF FAITH

What We Believe

1. The Holy Scriptures

We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. They are God-breathed, the final authority for faith and life, and the complete revelation of His will to mankind.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21; John 10:35; Isaiah 40:8)

2. God the Father

We believe in God the Father, the first Person of the Trinity, who reigns with providential care over all creation for His glory. He is Father to all as Creator (Ephesians 4:6), but spiritual Father only to those who trust in Christ (Romans 8:14; 2 Corinthians 6:18). He upholds and governs all things according to His will.
(1 Chronicles 29:11)

3. God the Son

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who became fully man without ceasing to be God. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He came to reveal God and redeem sinners through His death and resurrection.
(Isaiah 7:14; John 1:1–14; 2 Corinthians 5:19–21; Philippians 2:5–8; Hebrews 1:8)

4. God the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, and seals every believer. He empowers, teaches, and guides Christians daily, setting them apart for holy living.
(John 16:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13–14; John 14:26; Acts 1:8)

5. Salvation

We believe salvation is a free gift of grace, received by faith alone in Jesus Christ—through His blood, death, and resurrection. All who call upon Him are forgiven, justified, reconciled, and born again as children of God.
(Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–13; John 1:12; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

6. Our Identity in Christ

We believe every born-again believer has a new identity. You are no longer a sinner by nature, but a saint—a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17, 21). You are the righteousness of God in Him, free from condemnation (Romans 8:1). Christ Himself lives in you, working to transform and fulfill you. This is the good news of grace!
(Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:13)

7. Satan

We believe Satan is a real, personal being—the originator of sin, the enemy of God and His people, and the temporary “god of this world.” Though powerful, he is defeated by Christ and destined for eternal judgment in the lake of fire.
(Job 1:6–9; 1 Peter 5:8; 2 Corinthians 4:4; James 4:7; 1 John 4:4; Revelation 20:7–10)

8. Future Events

We believe in the “blessed hope”—the imminent return of Christ to gather His church. Following a seven-year tribulation, Christ will return visibly with His saints to establish His millennial kingdom. Unbelievers will be judged at the Great White Throne and cast into eternal separation, while believers w
