SonLight Church Core Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.

That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written
That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct · 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in glory
In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return

We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit

Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
Who baptizes believers at conversion into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills and fills those yielded to Him

We believe that all men were created in the image of God

That by the sin of disobedience mankind fell from that state
That all men, women and children are born with an inner need to be loved and without God they try to fill that need with temporary fixes
That God sent not His Son to condemn the world but that through Him we must be saved (John 3:17)

We believe that salvation is available because of God's grace if we repent from our sin and turn to God

That by the Father, Christ (Jesus) was born into a virgin, through the Holy Spirit, as the perfect sacrifice for man's sins
That justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
That while we were in our mother's wombs the Holy Spirit breathed life into us, creating us in God's image and likeness, then at the age of understanding, we fell into the sin of Adam and Eve and from that moment on the Holy Spirit tried to redeem us back to God
