Rooted in God’s Word, these are the pathways we practice together at Crosspoint:
Worship
We are called to praise and worship God alone. (Exodus 20:2-3; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 2 Kings 17:35-39; 1 Chronicles 16:28-30; Nehemiah 8:2-10; Mark 12:29-30; Romans 15:5-13; Jude 24-25; Revelations 5:6-14; Revelations 19:5-8)
Holiness
We are called to lead holy and righteous lives that exemplify the nature and character of God. (Leviticus 19:1-2; Psalm 51:7-11; Jeremiah 18:1-11; Ezekiel 20:10-12; Zechariah 13:9; Luke 1:68 75; Ephesians 4:21-32; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Peter 2:9,21-25; 1 John 3:1-3)
Witness
We are called to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who do not know Him. (Psalm 78:1-7; Isaiah 40:3-11; Micah 4:1-2; Habakkuk 2:14; Luke 24:44-48; Acts 3:12-26; Acts 10:39-43; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; 2 Corinthians 2:12-17; 1 Peter 3:15-18)
Prayer
We are called to engage in prayer for the people and causes on God’s heart. (Genesis 18:20-33; Exodus 32:1-16; Judges 3:9,15; 1 Kings 8:22-61; Ezekiel 22:30-31; Ezekiel 33:1-11; Matthew 6:5-15; Matthew 9:36-38; Ephesians 3:14 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5)
Fellowship
We are called to commit to the local church fellowship, sharing life together and multiplying God’s presence wherever we go. (2 Chronicles 29:20-30; Psalm 22:25-28; Psalm 122:1-4; Joel 2:15 17; Matthew 18:19-20; Acts 2:44-47; Acts 4:32-35; 1 Corinthians 14:26-40; Ephesians 2:11-18; Hebrews 10:23-25)
Service
We are called to contribute toward God’s Kingdom purposes in every sphere of life. (Deuteronomy 15:7-11; Deuteronomy 24:17-22; Psalm 112:4-9; Proverbs 11:10-11; Zechariah 7:8-10; Matthew 5:14-16; 2 Thessalonians 3:13; Titus 3:4-8; Hebrews 13:15-16; James 2:14-26)
Salvation and Grace
We believe salvation is a gift from God, obtained by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1)
Holy Spirit
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1)
God’s People
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the ‘breaking of bread’. We believe that God has equipped us to fulfil His purpose for our lives — fulfilling the Great Commission and bringing His kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19,20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29; Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15)
Baptism
We believe that Baptism is our public declaration that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Saviour. Baptism does not save us, but shows the world that we have already been saved. And while baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ. (Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2:8-9; Matthew 28:19-20)
Statement of Belief
Bible
We believe the Bible (Old and New Testaments) as the inspired and authoritative Word of God and the absolute reference point for every aspect of our everyday lives and ministry. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5)
One God
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all that is seen and unseen, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; Genesis 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
Man
We are the supreme object of God's creation. Although humans have tremendous potential for good, they are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates man from God. (Genesis 1:27;Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2)
Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as fully God and fully human, and whose sinless life shows us the way of true discipleship, died on the cross for us and was raised from the dead on the third day to save us from our sins. He ascended to heaven and will return again to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. (Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; John 14:10–30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13)
