What We Believe
At Canyons Church, we believe in the transformative power of God’s love, the truth of His Word, and the mission to help people find and follow Jesus.
About God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This triune God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present Creator of the universe, unchanging and perfect in His love and holiness.
Matthew 28:19 | Genesis 1:1 | Psalm 139:7-10 | Jeremiah 32:17
About People
Created in God’s image, humanity stands as the pinnacle of creation, endowed with incredible potential for good. Yet, we inherit a sin nature that separates us from God, manifesting in a propensity for disobedience and hindering our true purpose.
Genesis 1:27 | Romans 3:23 | Romans 5:12 | James 1:14-15
About Jesus
We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, co-equal with the Father. He was born of a virgin, fully God and fully man, and lived a perfect life. Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself on the cross for our sins, conquered death through His resurrection, and now reigns in heaven, awaiting His return as King of Kings.
John 1:1-4 | John 1:14 | Hebrews 4:15 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
About Eternity
Humanity was created for eternity, destined to live forever, either in joyful union with God or in tragic separation from Him. Those who reject God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ face eternal separation in hell, while those who embrace Him inherit eternal life in heaven.
John 3:16 | Matthew 25:46 | Revelation 21:4 | Romans 6:23
About Salvation
Salvation cannot be earned through good works but is a gift received by faith in Jesus Christ. He alone paid the price for our sins, and all who confess Him as Lord and believe in His resurrection are saved. This salvation is not only a present reality and a lifelong transformation, but also the promise of future glory and eternal life with God. Once received, this salvation is secure and irrevocable, a testament to God’s unwavering love and faithfulness.
Ephesians 2:8-9 | Romans 10:9-10 | John 10:28-29 | Philippians 1:6
About the Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, co-equal with the Father and the Son. He convicts the world of sin and points to Jesus as Savior. The Spirit indwells every believer, comforting, guiding, teaching, and empowering them for life and service.
Matthew 28:19 | John 16:8 | John 14:26 | 1 Corinthians 12:7
About the Bible
We believe the Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the very Word of God. Divinely inspired and without error in its original manuscripts, it reveals God’s character and plan for humanity. The Bible is our ultimate authority for faith and life, teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training us in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 | 2 Peter 1:20-21 | Psalm 119:105 | John 17:17
