One Hope Baptist Church is first and foremost a Christian church, agreeing with the essential doctrines of what it means to be a Christian.
  • God — There is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • Scripture — The Bible is God's inspired Word and is trustworthy and authoritative for faith and life.
  • Creation — God created all things and human beings uniquely in his image.
  • Humanity and Sin — Humanity was created for relationship with God, but all people are sinners, separated from God and unable to save themselves.
  • Jesus Christ — Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, the eternal Son of God who became incarnate, born of the virgin Mary.
  • The Cross — Jesus willingly died for our sins, accomplishing the salvation we could not accomplish for ourselves.
  • The Resurrection — Jesus physically rose from the dead, conquering sin and death.
  • Salvation — Salvation is God's gift of grace, received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ rather than earned by human works.
  • The Holy Spirit — The Holy Spirit is God, indwells believers, gives new life, transforms us toward Christlikeness, and empowers God's people for his mission.
  • The Church — All who belong to Christ constitute his Church and are called to worship God, grow as disciples, love one another, and make disciples of all nations.
  • Eternal Life and God's Kingdom — Those who are in Christ will live eternally with God in his restored creation, while those who remain separated from Christ face final judgment.
