STATEMENT OF FAITH
The South Lake Church of Christ is a non-denominational Christian church that adheres to the belief that the Bible is the only authoritative source of doctrine and practice. Therefore, its statement of faith is based solely on the teachings of the Bible. While different congregations may have slightly different variations, the following is a general outline of the South Lake Church of Christ's statement of faith:
- The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the only source of authority for Christian faith and practice.
- God is the creator of the universe and all that is in it. He is eternal, all-powerful, and all-knowing.
- Jesus Christ is the son of God, and he came to earth to save humanity from sin through his death and resurrection.
- Salvation is available to all who have faith in Jesus Christ, repent of their sins, confess their faith in Christ, and are baptized by immersion in water.
