The following are the core beliefs of Bethel Evangelical Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. For more detailed descriptions and Scripture-references please click the "Articles of Faith" button below.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and without mistakes as originally written. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.
God is the Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and these are co-eternal and equal of dignity and power.
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. We believe in His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on the cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
Man was created by and for God. As a consequence of man's disobeying God, every person incurred a spiritual death, which is separation from God, as well as physical death. All people are sinners by nature and practice.
The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. All who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and therefore are in right relationship with God eternally.
The present ministry of the Holy Spirit is the indwelling all believers, enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
In the end of days there will be a bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the eternal blessing of those in right relationship with God, and the eternal punishment of those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son, Jesus Christ.
