Our Beliefs

Our beliefs represent the heart of Discovery Community Church. These truths are the very core of who we are and everything we do should flow from them. They are not merely ideas to be understood, but truths to be lived out under the leadership and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

So as a church, we find creative ways to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus. We provide exciting programs for kids, students, and adults. We build relationships with our friends, family, and neighbors and share our transformation story. We preach and study God's Word. We utilize the arts to tell the story of the Gospel. We share meals, friendship, and prayers with the homeless in our community. We partner with organizations across the street and around the world that are introducing lost people to Jesus. We do all these things and more to introduce people to the One who transforms.


  • We believe there is one true, holy God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality.

  • Jesus Christ is the eternal second person of the Trinity through whose work and person God has achieved His redemptive purpose of reconciling all creation with Himself.

  • The essential accompaniment of a genuine saving relationship with Jesus Christ is a life of holiness and obedience, attained by believers as they submit to the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity.

  • The central purpose of God’s revelation in the Bible is to call all people into fellowship with Himself.

  • Role of the church

  • The foundational basis of our belief is the Bible, composed of the 66 books of the Old and New Testament.

Detailed Statement of Faith

4 Essential Truths

1) THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right.” - 2 Timothy 3:16 NLT

“We also thank God continually because, when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but actually as it is, the Word of God, which is at work in you who believe.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:13

God’s Word is the only completely reliable and truthful authority and we accept the Bible as our manual for living. Our first question when faced with a decision is, “What does the Bible say?” We practice daily Bible reading and Bible study. The Bible is the basis for all we believe.

2) JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6

“For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The stone that you builders re­jected has now become the cornerstone.’ There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them.” - Acts 4:11-12 NLT

Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between God and us. He baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit and will return to earth to consummate history.

3) YOU MUST BE BORN-AGAIN

“When anyone becomes a Christian he becomes a new person inside. The old passes away, a new life has begun.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17 LB

Jesus: “If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life.” - Matthew 16:25 NLT

God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s grace - not human effort - and must be received per­sonally by repentance and faith. At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Only believers will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.

4. BELIEVERS CAN BE SPIRIT-FILLED AND SPIRIT-LED

“...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you...” - Acts 1:8

“...be filled with the Holy Spirit” - Ephesians 5:18

“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” - Luke 11:13

We believe the only way possible to live the Christian life is by God’s power within us. Ev­ery believer can be filled with the Holy Spirit by simply asking. We seek to practice a daily dependence on God’s Spirit to enable us to do what is right.
