What We Believe

Foundations That Carry Fire

At Destiny Church, our beliefs are not vague ideas or optional traditions — they are the deeply rooted truths that anchor our identity, empower our purpose, and fuel our pursuit of revival. These aren’t just statements on paper — they’re convictions we live, preach, worship, serve, and lead from every day. We are unapologetically biblical, Spirit-filled, Christ-centered, and Kingdom-minded.

We believe the Word of God is absolute truth. We believe the Holy Spirit still moves in power. We believe Jesus is coming again. And we believe every believer is called to walk in holiness, freedom, and supernatural purpose.

Below, you’ll find a full, detailed outline of what we believe — not watered down, not compromised, not vague — but saturated in Scripture, explained in clarity, and declared with fire.

Core Beliefs

1. The Triune God

We believe in one eternal, self-existent God — the Creator of all things — who has revealed Himself in three co-equal and co-eternal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are not parts or expressions of God, but distinct Persons who are perfectly unified in essence, nature, will, and glory. The Trinity is not just a doctrine — it is the relational heartbeat of the Godhead. The Father is the Source, the Son is the Word made flesh, and the Holy Spirit is the active Presence of God on earth today. All of creation flows from their unity, and all of redemption points back to their shared purpose.
📖 Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 14:16–17

2. The Nature of the Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God — not just a book, but a living, supernatural revelation given through human authors by the Holy Spirit. It is God-breathed, eternal, and absolutely trustworthy. The Scriptures are the final authority for faith, doctrine, life, and spiritual warfare. Every word from Genesis to Revelation reveals the nature of God, His plan of redemption, and the heartbeat of His Kingdom.
📖 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20–21

3. God as Creator and Sustainer

We believe that God created the heavens and the earth by His spoken Word. Creation is intentional, ordered, beautiful, and filled with purpose. Humanity is the pinnacle of His creation — made in His image, designed for intimacy with Him, and given stewardship over the earth. Even now, God sustains all things by His Word and power, and creation itself longs for the full restoration that will come through Christ.
📖 Genesis 1:1–27; Psalm 19:1–4; Colossians 1:16–17

4. The Fall of Satan and Demonic Rebellion

We believe Satan was originally a beautiful, high-ranking angel who rebelled against God through pride, self-exaltation, and deception. His fall led to the rebellion of other angelic beings — now known as demons or unclean spirits — who oppose God’s purposes and seek to deceive, oppress, and destroy humanity. Though they are active, they are defeated through the authority of Jesus Christ and the believer. Their final destruction is sealed at Christ’s return.
📖 Isaiah 14:12–15; Ezekiel 28:12–17; Revelation 12:7–9

5. The Fall of Man and the Need for Redemption

We believe sin entered the human race through the disobedience of Adam and Eve, bringing separation from God, spiritual death, and the inheritance of a fallen nature. All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. The effects of sin are evident in the brokenness of the world — but God’s love made a way for redemption through Jesus Christ.
📖 Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12–21

6. The Gospel and Call to Repentance

We believe the Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ — the sinless Son of God — came to save sinners through His death, burial, and resurrection. He conquered sin, Satan, and death. The only proper response is repentance: a Spirit-led turning away from sin, selfishness, and worldliness to fully surrender to Christ. Repentance is not just emotion — it is supernatural transformation.
📖 Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; Romans 1:16

7. Salvation by Grace Through Faith

We believe salvation is a gift of grace — not earned by good works or religious performance, but received through faith in Jesus alone. Salvation includes forgiveness, rebirth, justification, adoption, and eternal life. The cross is enough. Grace is sufficient. Faith is the doorway.
📖 Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:4–7; John 3:16

8. The Finished Work of the Cross

We believe the cross is not a symbol of defeat — it is the victory of God over all darkness. Jesus’ sacrifice was complete and final. Through His blood, we are redeemed, reconciled, healed, and set free. His declaration — “It is finished” — means nothing more needs to be added.
📖 John 19:30; Colossians 2:13–15; 1 Peter 2:24

9. New Birth and Transformation

We believe salvation results in a radical new birth. The old life is crucified, and the believer becomes a new creation. Transformation is both immediate in spirit and progressive in maturity — as we grow daily in Christ, becoming more like Him in character and power.
📖 John 3:3–7; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20

10. Water Baptism

We believe water baptism by full immersion is a public declaration of faith and obedience. It is an outward expression of the inward transformation that has taken place. Baptism symbolizes death to sin and resurrection into new life in Christ.
📖 Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; Acts 2:41

11. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct and empowering experience subsequent to salvation. It fills believers with supernatural power, spiritual gifts, and boldness to fulfill their Kingdom assignment. It is essential for victorious Christian living.
📖 Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; Acts 19:1–6

12. Speaking in Tongues and Spiritual Gifts

We believe that speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of Spirit baptism. Tongues are a prayer language and a supernatural gift that strengthens the believer. We also believe in all the gifts of the Spirit — healing, prophecy, miracles, discernment, and more — which are alive and vital for the Church today.
📖 Acts 2:4; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11; 1 Corinthians 14:1–4

13. The Operation of the Gifts of the Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit distributes gifts as He wills — not to elevate people, but to edify the Body and advance the mission. We pursue these gifts with humility, maturity, and order, under biblical authority.
📖 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; Romans 12:6–8; 1 Corinthians 14:26–33

14. Supernatural Healing and Deliverance

We believe Jesus still heals the sick and delivers the oppressed. Healing and deliverance are not outdated or rare — they are the expected result of Jesus’ finished work. We lay hands, cast out demons, and minister wholeness boldly, knowing God desires to restore every part of life.
📖 Isaiah 53:4–5; Mark 16:17–18; Luke 4:18–19

15. Freedom from Bondage and Demonic Influence

We believe born-again believers cannot be possessed, but they can be oppressed, influenced, or afflicted if they open spiritual doors. Deliverance is part of the believer’s inheritance, and the Church is called to walk in spiritual authority over darkness.
📖 Luke 10:19; James 4:7; 2 Corinthians 10:3–5

16. The Kingdom of God

We believe Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God — a spiritual realm of righteousness, peace, joy, and power. The Kingdom is present now and will be fully consummated in the age to come. We live as ambassadors, revealing Heaven on earth.
📖 Matthew 6:10, 6:33; Luke 17:20–21; Romans 14:17

17. The Church: God’s Family, Army, and Bride

We believe the Church is not a building or an institution — it is the redeemed, Spirit-filled Body of Christ, called to love like family, fight like an army, and prepare like a bride. The Church is God’s instrument to make disciples and bring revival to every nation.
📖 Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 4:11–16; Acts 2:42–47

18. Five-Fold Ministry and Apostolic Order

We believe God has established apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints and build the Church. These are not titles to be idolized but functions to be walked in with humility and honor.
📖 Ephesians 4:11–13; 1 Corinthians 12:28

19. Discipleship and Spiritual Maturity

We believe every believer is called to become a disciple — to grow in Christ, be shaped by His Word, walk in holiness, and reproduce other disciples. Growth is not optional — it’s expected.
📖 Matthew 28:19–20; Colossians 1:28–29; 2 Timothy 2:2

20. The Priesthood of All Believers

We believe every believer has direct access to God and is called to minister. There is no hierarchy of value — we are all priests, filled with the Spirit, and empowered to represent Heaven on earth.
📖 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6; Hebrews 4:16

21. Worship as a Lifestyle

We believe worship is far more than music or a Sunday experience — it’s a lifestyle of surrender and devotion. True worship is when every part of our lives — thoughts, actions, time, finances, and choices — reflects the glory and worth of God. We worship with passion, reverence, and joy, offering our lives as living sacrifices to Him. In corporate worship, we expect to encounter Heaven — for breakthrough, healing, and glory to manifest.
📖 John 4:23–24; Romans 12:1; Psalm 22:3

22. The Power of Prayer and Intercession

We believe prayer is not a spiritual formality — it is a supernatural weapon and the relational lifeline of every believer. Prayer fuels our faith, aligns our hearts with God’s will, and brings Heaven into earthly situations. Intercession is a priestly calling for the Church to stand in the gap for families, cities, nations, and generations. At Destiny Church, we are building a house of prayer where breakthrough is birthed in the secret place.
📖 Matthew 6:9–13; 2 Chronicles 7:14; James 5:16

23. The Prophetic Ministry

We believe God still speaks today through dreams, visions, words of knowledge, and prophetic insight. The prophetic ministry strengthens, encourages, and brings divine direction to individuals and churches. Prophecy is not reserved for a few — it is the inheritance of a Spirit-filled people. We pursue the prophetic with honor, biblical accountability, and a desire to glorify Jesus in all things.
📖 Acts 2:17–18; 1 Corinthians 14:1–5; 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21

24. Holiness and Sanctification

We believe holiness is not legalism — it is the fruit of a heart fully surrendered to God. Holiness is both our position in Christ and a progressive transformation of our character. Sanctification is the Spirit’s work of refining, purifying, and conforming us to the image of Jesus. As believers, we are called to live set apart from the world — not as perfect people, but as people daily yielded to God’s refining fire.
📖 1 Peter 1:15–16; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14

25. The Unity and Diversity of the Church

We believe the Body of Christ is beautifully diverse and spiritually unified. Every race, tribe, tongue, and culture has a seat at God’s table. We celebrate diversity while contending for unity — not based on opinions, but on love, truth, and the Spirit. There is no room in the Church for racism, division, elitism, or pride. We are one family, baptized into one Spirit, walking in one mission.
📖 John 17:21–23; Ephesians 4:3–6; 1 Corinthians 12:12–27

26. Marriage, Family, and Biblical Morality

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s relationship with the Church. The family is the first place of spiritual formation, discipleship, and legacy. We uphold biblical morality as God’s design for purity, sexuality, and identity — not based on cultural trends, but on eternal truth.
📖 Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22–33; Hebrews 13:4

27. The Second Coming of Christ

We believe in the literal, visible, and glorious return of Jesus Christ to this earth. He will return to gather His Church, judge the nations, destroy evil, and establish His everlasting Kingdom. We live with urgency and expectation, knowing the return of the King is near. This blessed hope fuels our holiness, evangelism, and endurance.
📖 John 14:1–3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 19:11–16

28. The Reality of Heaven and Hell

We believe in the eternal reality of both Heaven and Hell. Heaven is the dwelling place of God and the eternal home of the redeemed — full of joy, glory, peace, and purpose. Hell is a place of eternal separation, torment, and judgment for those who reject Christ. These truths are not to be feared but to awaken us to the urgency of the Gospel.
📖 Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15; 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9

29. The Resurrection and Eternal Glory

We believe there will be a bodily resurrection of all people — the righteous to eternal life and glory, and the unrighteous to judgment. Believers will be raised to reign with Christ in the new heavens and new earth. Death is not the end — it is a doorway into eternity. This promise gives us hope beyond the grave and purpose in every day we live.
📖 John 5:28–29; 1 Corinthians 15:51–57; Revelation 21:1–7

30. The Hope of Theosis: Sharing God's Nature

We believe the ultimate aim of the Gospel is not just forgiveness — it is transformation. Through Christ, we are being made partakers of the divine nature. We are being changed from glory to glory into His image, called not just to serve God, but to reflect Him. Theosis is the supernatural process by which sons and daughters become like the Son — radiant with His love, authority, and power.
📖 2 Peter 1:3–4; Romans 8:16–18; 2 Corinthians 3:18

FINAL DECLARATION

At Destiny Church, we boldly declare these truths — not as tradition, but as a living revelation of who God is, who we are in Christ, and how we are called to live. These beliefs are not optional — they are foundational. They are the flame in our bones and the compass of our house. Every sermon, every prayer, every song, and every outreach flows from this theological well.

We are a Spirit-filled, Kingdom-minded, presence-driven, truth-anchored, and mission-mobilized people. We stand on the Word of God. We are led by the Spirit of God. And we live for the glory of the Son of God.
