OUR Philosophy


ABOUT YOU

You have a place at Grace Point Church of Haslet, and you are welcome here no matter the condition of your life.  We all need Him (Romans 3:23).  We believe Grace Point is your starting POINT for new life.

ABOUT THE BIBLE

We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, and that it is the only authority for establishing doctrine, faith, hope and instruction for Christian living (II Timothy 3:15-17).

ABOUT GOD

The first and greatest commandment is this:  "Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29).  We believe this one true God has revealed Himself as our Father in creation, through His Son Jesus Christ in redemption, & as the Holy Spirit in regeneration.  (I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16).

ABOUT SIN AND SALVATION

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).

ABOUT THE GOSPEL

The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again.  Our response to the Gospel is to identify with His death, burial and resurrection through repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) (John 3; I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).

ABOUT CHRISTIAN LIVING

The prophet Micah declared, "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" (Micah 6:8).  We believe that Christian living consists of doing what is right, compassionately serving others, and pursuing a relationship with God.

ABOUT THE CHURCH

We believe in covenanting with a community of believers through a local church assembly.  It is through the ministry of the Church that believers are strengthened in their faith and find opportunity to serve others.  When believers gather together for worship, they can expect the presence of the Lord to be there and for the supernatural gifts of the Spirit to minister (Mathew 18:20; Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10).  Grace Point is affiliated with the UPCI.
