The Foundation of our Beliefs
The foundation of our beliefs is the never changing truth of the Bible, which we believe to be the living Word of God. We believe that salvation is a gift from God, provided through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The grace of God and forgiveness of sin is available to everyone who calls on His Name.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
See how we view God, Jesus, the Bible, man, and many important factors of our faith. Firmly rooted in scripture, the beliefs of River’s Edge Ministries guides our decisions as a church.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
Man
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, and is worthy of respect and the love of Christ.
The Church
The Church is a community of believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, to bring glory & honor to the one true God.
the Bible
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
The Father
God is great: He is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, completely worthy, and above all, holy. It is in Him that we live and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
Eternity
People were created to exist forever. They will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
Salvation
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in Jesus Christ, believing he died on the cross & rose again, as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through works.
Trinity
God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
The Son
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a sacrifice for us, for our sins. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.
