The following are Lee’s Summit Community Church’s core beliefs which guide our church community.
-
The Bible – We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
-
God – We believe there is one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity.
-
Jesus – We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
-
The Holy Spirit – We believe in the Holy Spirit, in His ministry of convicting and regenerating sinful men and indwelling, sealing, and empowering believers.
-
Man – We believe in the fall of man from the state of innocence in which he was created to one of total depravity in which he is devoid of spiritual life and incapable, apart from divine power, of pleasing God.
-
Justification – We believe in the justification of the sinner by grace through faith alone.
-
The Church – We believe that the church universal is composed of all true believers and that its members should assemble for worship, prayer, fellowship, and teaching with a view to being equipped to fulfill the Great Commission.
-
Eternity – We believe there are two eternal destinations for all people: heaven or hell. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved to eternity in the presence of God. We believe in an eternity away from God’s presence for those who do not believe.
