Oak River Church

We exist to bring glory to God through lives changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that all people are created in the image of God with dignity, and each person should be treated with such dignity. Even so, we believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy. We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignty chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death, atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him alone, for salvation. We believe that Jesus will return, physically and visibly, to judge all of mankind and to receive His people to Himself. We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
