The Statement of Faith of Misfits for Jesus:

  • We believe that as Christ followers that we are all on this journey and recognize that some of us are at different places on the journey and some of our theologies may be a bit different.
  • We believe all Scripture (New and Old Testaments) is the inspired word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16)
  • We believe there is one true God who created the world. (Genesis 1:1)
  • We believe God is present in three forms also known as the Trinity. (Matthew 28:19)
  • We believe God created man in His own image. (Genesis 2:7)
  • We believe man fell from the original state of righteousness by voluntary disobedience to God’s command thus bringing sin into the world. (Genesis 3)
  • We believe that it is impossible for us to live a sinless life. (Romans 3:23)
  • We believe the penalty for sin is death (Hell) but God’s gift (Jesus) will give us eternal life. (Romans 6:23)  We believe God loved the world so much he sent his Son to pay the penalty for our sins (John 3:16)
  • We believe that you must be born again (spiritually) to enter heaven, that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our hearts in Jesus and his resurrection, salvation will take place. Everyone who does so will be saved. (John 3:3, Romans 10:9,13)
  • We believe Jesus came to the world to save us not to condemn us. (John 3:17)
  • We believe that when Jesus ascended to heaven, he sent us his Holy Spirit to be our Counselor and to guide us. He also convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. (John 16:5,13)
  • We believe in the filling or the empowering of the Holy Spirit, often a conscious experience, for ministry today. (Acts 4:31)
  • We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that they are in operation in the church today. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11, Romans 11:29)
  • We believe Jesus commissioned everyone when He ascended to preach the Gospel to everyone and in his name great miracles will accompany those who believe. (Mark 16:15-18)
  • We believe that Heaven and Hell are real places. (2 Corinthians 12:1-4, Revelation 4:1-2, Mark 9:42-48, Revelation 20:11-15.)
  • We also believe in meeting people where they are, without condemnation or judgment and present the Gospel of Jesus with love and respect to those to whom we are speaking.
