What We Believe

The Call

Adventure Church is a non-denominational Christian church.  In a generation that is critical of organized religion, Adventure is free of church creeds, traditions and denominational distinctives that divide.  We seek to restore doctrinal purity by using the Bible, only, as the source of absolute truth.  Therefore, Scripture is recognized as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.  In areas where the Scripture speaks, we are uncompromising.  In areas where the Scripture is silent, each believer is to be led in those areas by the Spirit of the Lord to Whom he or she is ultimately responsible.

The Approach

Adventure's weekend worship features:  Practical, real-life messages to help people discover real-life answers to real-life situations.

The Faith

God eternally lives as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-each of whom possesses, equally, all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality.  God, the Father, is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and was united with a true human nature by a miraculous conception and virgin birth.  Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross.  He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.  He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ and lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.  The Holy Spirit uniquely gives every believer a spiritual gift for service and building up the church while providing the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance to do what is right.

The Bible is composed of sixty-six books within the Old and New Testaments, and is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs.  Scripture in its entirely originated with God and was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Therefore, Scripture speaks with the authority of God while reflecting the backgrounds, styles and vocabularies of the human authors.  The Bible is without error, and it is the unique, full and final authority on all matters of life.

Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it.  We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.  Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty.  When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved.

 

What Is Our Purpose?

The Vision of Adventure Church

Our vision for Adventure Church is simple.  We exist to Reach Up, Reach Out, and Reach In.  These three are the biblical mandates of the local church.

Reach Up
We work hard to provide an exciting and God-honoring environment for worship.  When we worship God, we express our love and devotion to Him.  What an honor it is to humbly come before the Creator of the Universe.  All of us are wired for worship, and the only way we can express true love to God and worship Him is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
 
Reach Out
Another key purpose of Adventure is to reach out to people who are outside the family of God.  Every day, we rub shoulders with people who are just an invite away from a life-changing encounter with Christ.  Invite your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to attend Adventure so they will hear and understand what it means to be a follower of Christ.
 
Reach In
We also exist to help you as a Christ-follower grow in your spiritual maturity and become full-court followers of Christ.  Because the Christian life is one of constant growth and development, we are focused on providing biblical principles that can be applied to every day life.  We want to help you move from a spectator in the stands to the game of active service.
