Statement of Faith
Rooted Church affirms the core doctrines of biblical Christianity:
God
One God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternally existent, all-powerful, and holy.
Scripture
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God and our final authority in all matters of faith and life.
Jesus Christ
Fully God and fully man, Jesus lived sinlessly, died sacrificially, rose victoriously, and will return gloriously.
Salvation
By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We are saved, justified, and made new through Him.
The Church
The Church is the global Body of Christ, called to worship, grow, and live on mission together—even in virtual spaces.
The Holy Spirit
The indwelling Spirit empowers, sanctifies, convicts, and gifts every believer for life and service.
Baptism
Baptism is an outward sign of inward transformation. It’s a public declaration of faith in Christ and symbolizes our union with His death, burial, and resurrection. While not required for salvation, it is a step of obedience for every believer.
The Return of Christ
Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead, establish His Kingdom fully, and make all things new.
