Welcome to Northwoods!
We are a church that is passionate about Jesus and sharing the Good News to all in our community. We meet weekly to express praise and gratitude to God through worship and teaching from Gods word (the Bible). We invite you to join us soon for us to say 'Welcome Home!"
​
God
We believe that there is only one God, creator of heaven and earth, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; each fully God yet each personally distinct from the other, equal in divine perfection (Matthew 28:19).
God the Father
We believe God the Father is the creator, source, sustainer, and sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, merciful, and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. The Father is called the first person of the Trinity. It was the Father who sent the His Son (John 4:34), who draws the people to the Son of God (John 6:37, 44), and who cannot be seen (John 6:46; 1 Timothy 6:16).
God the Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin and draws people to Christ. He also indwells and baptizes all Christians at conversion. He is available to empower them to lead Christ-like lives and gives them spiritual gifts with which to serve the church and reach out to a lost and needy world.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the infallible, verbal inspiration of the word of God and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. It is the supreme and final authority on all matters upon which it teaches. There are no other writings that are vested with such divine authority (Psalm 119:160, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Peter 1:21).
God the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ, God’s only Son and the second Person of the Trinity, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless human life, willingly took upon Himself all our sins, died and rose again bodily. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father as our advocate and mediator. Someday, He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
Our
Response
We believe that love for one another as Jesus loves the believer manifests our discipleship, proves our love for God and symbolizes our authority as a New Testament Church. Love is therefore the great commandment of the LORD Jesus Christ upon which all others are dependent (Matthew 22:35-40, John 13:34-35, John 15:12, 1 John 4:7-21, John 5:1-3, Revelation 2:4-5).
