+ STATEMENT OF FAITH

Our statement of faith, the very foundation upon which Coastal Church is built. As a full-gospel ministry we preach and teach the following principles:

• We believe in the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22
   
• We believe the Old and New Testament are God's divinely inspired words. Hebrews 4:12; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:20-21; II Timothy 3:15-17; I Thessalonians 2:13
   
• We believe all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation. Genesis 1:26-31,3:1-7; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Psalm 51:5; John 6:44; Romans 5:12-21; I Corinthians 2:14
   
• We believe salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all people. Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31,35; John 3:16; I Corinthians 15:3; II Corinthians 5:21
   
• We believe that by confessing their sins to God, every believer will be forgiven and cleansed from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9
   
• We believe it is the will of God that every believer be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak with new tongues. Joel 2:28; Acts 2:4, 8:14-19
   
• We believe healing is provided in the redemption work of Christ and is available to every believer. Exodus 15:26; Psalm 107:20; James 5:14-15; Acts 10:38; I Peter 2:24
   
• We believe every believer is to grow up in the Lord through study of the Word, prayer, and renewing of the mind. Romans 12:1-2; II Corinthians 10:4-5
   
• We believe that there shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust. Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15; Revelation 22:11
   
• We believe in the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ. Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18
   
• We believe in water baptism, and the observance of the Lord's supper. Mark 16:16; I Corinthians 11:23-29
   
• We believe that all mankind is subject to the death of the body as a result of original sin. The soul and spirit do not die, but immediately after death enter into a conscious state of happiness or misery according to the character here possessed by acceptance or rejection of the Savior. Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 8:55, 23:43; Romans 5:12; II Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23

+ STATEMENT OF FAMILY

We believe in both singleness and marriage as biblical lifestyles. We believe that scripture teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that the Christian is called to a life of purity both in thought and action. (Mark 10:6-9)
