WHAT WE BELIEVE:
The sole basis for our beliefs is the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it speaks. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each possessing all the attributes of deity. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they
defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s grace - not human effort - and must be received personally by repentance and faith. (Genesis 1:26,27; 3:1-15)
Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit. He will return to earth to consummate history. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
The Holy Spirit draws people to Christ and indwells the believer to live an overcoming and victorious Christian life. (Romans 15:13)
We believe in and depend on the power of the Holy Spirit to meet our need, in every arena of life. We believe in the present day gifts of the Holy Spirit that empower Christians to live the life God intends for them. WHAT TO EXPECT:
Church should be an enjoyable experience, so our services are energetic and upbeat. It is a time to connect with friends and gain practical teaching from God's Word. Our goal is that you leave encouraged and equipped through God’s Word. What style of message does Destiny Worship Center, Freeport communicate? Messages are taught directly from the Holy Bible and geared to challenge you. We always share the Word of God in a way that is both practical and relevant to our daily lives. What kind of music can I expect at Destiny Worship Center? Our worship team plays a wide variety of modern praise and worship and hymns. Weekend services are an upbeat time of celebration and sincere worship, so our music reflects these dynamic differences by using a wide range of worship styles, music, and instruments. OUR CORE VALUES:
LORDSHIP -
The Bible says in Revelation 19:16 that Jesus is “King of kings and Lord of lords.” We believe that wholehearted submission to His will is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth. DISCIPLESHIP -
God has called every believer in Matthew 28:19-20 to make disciples. Hence, one of our primary focuses at Destiny Worship Center is to help people build their lives, both spiritually and relationally. SPIRITUAL FAMILY -
The Bible makes it clear that God builds through family, both natural and spiritual. God has called all believers to be a part of a healthy spiritual family. LEADERSHIP -
The Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:2 that we are to teach and train others who will, in turn, train others. God has given each and every believer gifts and talents and calls us to impart into others. EVANGELISM -
John 3:16 clearly tells us that God loves people sacrificially. God's heart is to reach those who don't know Him. We are passionate about doing the same. COMPASSION -
Matthew 9:36 shows that Jesus saw people and was moved with compassion for them, and we want to have that same compassion and love for others. We seek to extend the grace and mercy of God to those both near and far.
