In a world being given over to moral relativism we at The Legacy feel it is increasingly more important for Christians to know exactly what they believe and why. The majority of our core beliefs at The Legacy can be found in the Nicene Creed, an ancient declaration created by early church leaders (325 A.D. – 381 A.D.) to protect people from deception. The Nicene Creed served (and still serves) as a biblical yardstick by which the truth of teaching can be measured. At the Legacy Church we make a regular habit of quoting the Nicene Creed together at the beginning of our worship services as a way inscribing on our hearts the biblical truth that guides and directs our lives.
There is only one God and He created everything. He is bigger and better and closer than we can imagine. He is the first person of the Trinity and co-equal with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
About the Holy Spirit
God lives in and through us now through His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person not an impersonal force; He is the third person of the Trinity and co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. It is the Holy Spirit that sanctifies and empowers believers to be like Jesus.
About Grace
Grace is the undeserved, unearned favor of God by which a personal relationship is realized and enjoyed through Christ.
About Salvation
Salvation comes by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, it means that your sins are forgiven, you are saved from hell, and delivered from the bondage of sin here on earth.
About Evil and Satan
Evil takes 3 forms. Evil is personal, it comes from within us and our sinful or fleshly desires. Evil is social and comes from the world around us, and evil is supernatural coming from Satan and his demons.
About Jesus
Jesus is God's only Son whom God sent to earth to save us from our sins because he loves us so much. He is the second person of the Trinity and co-equal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
About the Bible
The Bible is God's perfect guidebook for living, given to the prophets through the Holy Spirit. It is complete, God-breathed, and infallible.
About Faith
Faith is trusting in Christ alone for salvation from sin, it is trusting that what the Bible says is true and it is only through faith in God that we can enjoy a relationship with God.
About Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell are very real places. When our lives here on earth are over, it is not the end but only the beginning. The beginning of an eternity spent in one or the other based on your relationship with Jesus.
About The Church
We believe it is the purpose of the church to continue the ministry of Jesus by speaking His words and doing His work. The church is a called out, set apart, community of faith who believe in Jesus.
