What We Believe
At Tower of Refuge Church, we affirm the foundational truths of the Christian faith:
- We believe the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God.
- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God.
- We believe in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, in order to reveal God, fulfill prophecy, and redeem humanity.
- We believe the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.
- We believe salvation is the gift of God, given by grace and received through personal faith in Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed for the forgiveness of sins.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again for His Church.
These beliefs and values shape who we are, how we serve, and how we love—faithfully following Christ and fulfilling the Father’s will.
