The Centrality of Christ’s Deity

The deity of Christ is foundational to the Christian faith. Without it, the gospel collapses. This doctrine affirms that Jesus Christ is not merely a great teacher, prophet, or moral example, but the eternal God incarnate. Denial of Christ's deity leads to a different gospel and a different Jesus

Doctrinal Statement

We believe that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, possesses all the divine excellencies, and in these he is coequal, consubstantial, and coeternal with the Father (John 10:30; 14:9).

We believe that God the Father created all things through God the Son and that through him all things continue to exist and operate (John 1:3; Colossians 1:15–17; Hebrews 1:2).
