What We Believe

At our core we are a purposed people, praising God with joy and gladness. Wherever we are in life, we believe that God has a transforming plan that molds us into a better person for His Glory and our benefit.
These tenets bind the community of Aspen Park together, and we want you to be apart of it.

Individually, as followers of Jesus Christ, what we believe matters. It shapes how we behave and what we do. Within the scope of what we belief there are certain aspects of our beliefs that are the “main things.” These foundational areas include what we believe about God, the Bible, Salvation, and the Church. While beliefs may vary from person to person, these are which churches often unite around. As a cooperating church with Great Commission Baptists (aka the Southern Baptist Convention), we generally agree with the tenets set forth in the Baptist Faith & Message found here.

We believe in one God-eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, and always present, existing as three Persons - Father, Son, and Spirit, one in nature, attributes, power, and glory. God will be glorified by all creation and is worthy of worship from all humans.
Genesis 1:1,26; Ps. 104, 148; Proverbs 30:4; Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:29; John 1:1-4, 14, 18; Acts 5:3,4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Timothy 2:3-4

We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy.

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

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.

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 as a 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.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

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.
