WHAT WE BELIEVE

At Glory House, our beliefs are based on Scripture and centered on Jesus Christ. We hold that biblical truth should influence our worship, conduct, treatment of others, and collective faith journey, guiding us to grow as mature, Spirit-filled followers of Jesus.

The Bible

The Holy Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and is without error in its original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

The Atonement

We believe that the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross provided a complete and perfect atonement for human sin, fully satisfying divine justice. Through His shed blood, believers receive total forgiveness, reconciliation with God, and restoration of life. (Romans 5:8-11, 1 Peter 2:24)

The Fall and Sin

We believe that humanity was created good and upright, but voluntarily fell into sin through disobedience, bringing spiritual and physical death upon all mankind. This original fall fractured our relationship with God, leaving humanity inherently separated from Him and in desperate need of a Savior. (Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12)

Sanctification

We believe that sanctification is both an immediate positional standing at salvation and a progressive, lifelong work of the Holy Spirit that separates believers from sin unto God. By yielding to the indwelling Spirit, believers are empowered to live a life of holiness, reflecting the character of Christ and walking in increasing spiritual maturity. (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4, Hebrews 10:14)

Water Baptism

We practice water baptism by immersion as an essential, public demonstration of a believer's faith, cleansing, and complete alignment with Jesus Christ. Through this sacred act, we are spiritually buried with Him in His death and raised to walk in the newness of resurrection life. (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4)

God's Will for Believers

Ministry is for the whole man: spirit, soul and body (Psalms 23:3; I Thessalonians 5:23; 3 John 2), and we are to renew our minds daily by the Word of God in order to think with the mind of Christ. (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:23-29; Philippians 4:8; Colossians 3:2)

The Trinity

There is only ONE true and living God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1-3; John 10:30; John 15:26; John 16:13; 1 John 4:15)

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, empowers believers by baptizing them in Jesus Christ and granting them the ability to exert dominion on earth. (John 16:13; Acts 1:4-8; I Corinthians 12:4-11).

Salvation

A person acknowledges Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior by confessing their faith that Jesus is Lord and believing in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:-10; Ephesians 2:8-9)

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct, post-salvation endowment of power that equips believers for supernatural ministry and holy living. This divine infilling is initially evidenced by the physical sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 2:4, Acts 19:6)

The Lord's Supper

We come together for communion to remember Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Through the bread and cup, believers renew their covenant with God and proclaim His death until He returns. (John 6:53-58, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Second Coming

We look forward with hope to the literal, visible return of Jesus Christ to earth in power and glory to judge the world and establish His eternal kingdom. This promised second coming will occur at an hour no one expects, calling all believers to live in constant readiness and holy anticipation. (Matthew 24:44, Revelation 1:7)

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, God's Son and the Savior of the world, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, sacrificed, buried, resurrected, and ascended to Father, serving as the gateway to God's Kingdom. (Luke 1:26-33; John 3:16, 3:36; John 14:6; Romans 5:8)

Mankind

Humanity was created in the image of God and chosen by Him to build His Kingdom on earth, reflecting the glory of heaven. (Genesis 1:26-28, Psalm 115:16, I Peter 2:9)

Faith

We believe that faith is the absolute trust and unshakeable confidence in the reality of God's promises, even when they cannot be physically seen. It is the essential catalyst for salvation, the key to unlocking the supernatural, and the daily framework through which believers please God and walk in victory. (Hebrews 11:1, Romans 10:17)

The Church

We believe the Church is the living body of Christ on earth, divinely chosen to advance God's kingdom and manifest His power. Unified under Jesus as the ultimate head, every believer is supernaturally equipped with spiritual gifts to mature the body and impact the world. (Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14)

Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is God’s sovereign rule & reign in the earth as it is in heaven; it is the manifestation of the King’s (Jesus Christ) dominion through the church. â€‹(Matthew 6:9- 10; Isaiah 9:6-7)

Resurrection & Eternal State

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, which sealed His victory over sin and death and guarantees the ultimate resurrection of all humanity. Those who are in Christ will be raised to eternal life and glory, while those outside of Christ will face final judgment. (1 Corinthians 15:20-23, John 5:28-29)
