WHAT WE BELIEVE
New Hope of Clarkston is a non-denominational church open to all. We invite you to join us as we worship and talk about our God.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Peter 1:21, 2 Timothy 3:16-17), meaning that the Bible was written by God through the hands of man. We acknowledge the Holy Trinity and believe that God is one within the Trinity comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).​
We believe that God created man in His image (Genesis 1:27), but know that man is sinful and in need of salvation to rescue us from our sinful nature and the consequences that come from our sins (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23). We believe that our salvation comes through Jesus Christ the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25).
​
We believe in the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ and that it is through the blood shed on the cross that we are saved (Romans 5:9. Ephesians 1:7, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 1 Thessalonians 4:14), but three days after his burial he was resurrected (Romans 14:9, 2 Corinthians 4:14). It is through Jesus Christ that we are saved, only Christ had the power to save man from his sin (Hebrews 7:25).
​
We believe salvation is a gift, and we must repent of our sins and accept God’s gift of eternal life to save our soul (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9).
We believe that those who accept this gift are granted eternal salvation and everlasting life (John 5:54, Ephesians 4:30). Lastly we believe that Christ is coming again (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
