Core Beliefs
As an Assemblies of God church, the following biblical foundational truths are the core of our teaching and ministry at Victory Family Church.
Bible
The scriptures of the entire Bible are verbally inspired of God and reveal God to humankind. The scriptures guides our faith, belief, and way of living.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Christ's Deity
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has always existed. He came to earth to restore fallen humankind. To do so, He died on the cross as a substitute for the sins of every person. Having risen from the dead, He is now exalted and seated at the right hand of God.
The Fall
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers the free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
Spirit Baptism
All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefor should expect and earnestly seek this promise of the Father.
The Church
The Church as described in the bible consists of all people who have received forgiveness through Jesus Christ. The Church meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ till He returns.
Christ's Return
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
