Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Mission Viejo Christian Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
We believe that there is one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This God is the creator of all things.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God's written revelation of Himself to man, the inspired and infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority for all matters of life.
Mankind
We believe that God created mankind to have a relationship with Him, but man has separated himself from God by sin and is lost.
Jesus
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son, fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
The resurrection
We believe Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried, and rose again in bodily form on the third day.
The ascension
We believe Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father.
The second coming
We believe Jesus Christ will return to the earth to judge both the living and the dead.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is an active and operative part of the triune God.
Salvation
We believe the Bible teaches that salvation and the forgiveness of sins are achieved only by the grace through the blood of Christ.
Marriage
We believe that the term marriage has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God's commands is that there be no sexual intimacy outside of or apart from marriage between a man and woman.
Covenant Relationship
We believe that the Bible teaches that one receives God's grace by entering into a covenant relationship with Him by faith in Jesus Christ. According to Scripture, entering this covenant includes: belief in Christ, repenting of sin, proclaiming Christ as Lord and Savior, and being baptized by immersion into Christ.
Service
We believe that every believer is called to serve the Lord faithfully all the days of their life.
