We Believe
The Rescue Church is proudly a part of the Washington Pacific District
within the global Church of the Nazarene.
As a local and global church, we hold the following to be true:
-
We believe in one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
-
We believe that humans are born with a fallen nature, and are, therefore, inclined to evil. We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
-
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
-
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
-
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
