Basic Beliefs 

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

Basic Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of Crossroads Church of Long Island 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

There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

Revelation

God has made Himself known to the world in Jesus Christ, the Scriptures and creation.  


Creation and Providence

We believe that God created the world from nothing and governs all things at all times in all places.


Humanity

We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God and possess intrinsic dignity and worth.


Sin

We believe that sin has fractured all things, leaving the world in desperate need for salvation.


Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.


The Church

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.

 

Resurrection and the Kingdom of God

We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.
