What We Believe

Welcome! At Maple Grove Bible Church, our beliefs are at the heart of everything we do. This page shares the core foundations of our faith, helping you understand the biblical truths and values that inspire our community and walk with Christ.

Christ-centered

Jesus is at the heart of our lives and everything we do together.

Our Core Values

Welcome to Maple Grove. We believe that sharing our faith should be warm and easy to understand. These core values guide everything we do as a church family.

Bible-teaching

We rely on God's Word as our ultimate guide for faith and living.

Community-minded

We care for one another like a family and welcome everyone with love.

Mission-focused

We are passionate about sharing God’s hope and love with the world.

God

We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are equal in every divine perfection, and they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and salvation.

Jesus Christ

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death upon the cross whereby His shed blood cleanses us from all sin. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people, and His visible bodily return to earth.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ for godly living and service. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.

Salvation

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. We believe that every human being can have direct fellowship with God through Jesus Christ and is responsible alone to God in all matters of faith. He can obtain salvation and spiritual life only through repentance and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground of justification and salvation for all who believe. Only those who receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior are born of the Holy Spirit and become the children of God.

The Church

We believe in the true church, a living spiritual body of which Jesus Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local assembly consisting of a company of believers in Christ associated for worship, works of service, and fellowship. Each local assembly, though free to make its own rules, is subject to higher authorities as instructed by the scriptures. We believe that God has give the members of the local assembly the primary purpose of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

The Foundation of our Faith

We believe that the Bible is the word of God, fully inspired and written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit without error, in the original manuscripts, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
