Tigard Christian Church is a nodenominational fellowship of believers who seek simply o be Christians only as we follow our Lord Jesus Christ. Following are some essentgials of the Christian faith that we believe and affirm: - The Authority of Scripture: We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God. The Old and New Testaments are the fully reliable and authoritative account of God's activity in human history and of his perfect will for humankind.
- The Nature of God: We believe in one God, who has revealed himself in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus, God's Son: We believe that Jesus is the Son of the Living God (Matt. 16:16). He is uniquely revealed as God in the flesh (John 1:14). His is the only name given to us by whom we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus and in his resurrection from the grave on the third day.
- Saved by God's Grace: We believe that all of humanity has become separated from God through sin. We are saved by God's grace and restored to him through faith in Jesus, our primary response including turning from sin, claiming Jesus as our Lord, and being immersed (baptized) into Christ.
- The Role of the Church: We believe that the church is theliving body of Christ called by God to continue his work in the world. In the church we share life and ministry together through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Lord's Supper (communion) is a regular part of our public worship, demonstrating our faith in Jesus and his death for our sins.
