Statement of Faith
God
At Common Ground Church, we believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are committed to loving God, loving people, and making disciples of all nations.
Jesus Christ
We hold the belief that during His First Advent, our Lord Jesus Christ willingly departed from the heavenly glories, embracing full and perfect humanity in His incarnation.
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells believers, empowering them to live godly lives and fulfill the Great Commission.
The Bible
The canon of Holy Scripture, consisting of 66 books, remains the exclusive authority guiding our faith and practice.
Man
We affirm, as a fundamental belief, that God created humanity in His flawless image, encompassing both male and female, thus upholding the sanctity and worth of all human life.
Salvation
Salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ is a redemptive process initiated entirely by God. Believers take part in this process solely by His grace through their faith in Jesus.
