Statement of faith

We believe:

1. GOD: God reveals himself in the scriptures as the living and true God, creator of all things. Perfect in love and righteous in all his ways. This one God exists eternally as a Trinity of persons: The Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

2. SCRIPTURE: The Scripture of both the Old and New Testaments being given by divine inspiration, are the Word of God, fully trustworthy in all matters of faith and conduct.

3. JESUS CHRIST: The only mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ our Lord, the second person of the Trinity, God’s eternal Son, conceived through the Virgin Mary, who, as man, fully shared and fulfilled our humanity in a life of perfect obedience. By his death on the cross, in our place, Jesus revealed divine love and upheld divine justice, removing our guilt and reconciling us to God. Having risen bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven, he rules as Lord over all and intercedes for us as our great High Priest until he returns to fulfill His Kingdom.

4. HOLY SPIRIT: The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness. At Altitude, we seek to be led by His Spirit, His Word and God-given wisdom. These three will be in agreement.  Come Holy Spirit!

5. HUMANKIND: All people are made in God’s image.  We believe in the dignity of all people.

6. CHURCH: We are called into relationship with Jesus, and active fellowship within His body, the church. The church is a joining of individuals under the headship of Christ, who are called to encourage and care for one another, to be light, to share the Gospel, and to serve as Jesus served.
