Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Woodinville Alliance Church based on the foundational truths taught in The Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines, corresponding with the Christian and Missionary Alliance Statement of Beliefs.
Jesus
It is in Jesus that we discover most fully who God is and what he is up to in his world (John 1:1-5; Hebrews 1:-3).
The Story
God has uniquely and personally revealed himself to humanity in the arena of history. Those interactions, preserved for us in the Bible, provide meaningful grounds for action (Deuteronomy 4:32-40; 2 Timothy 3:16)
Humanity
Humans function best when we are in right relationship with God and each other, and are faithfully stewarding all that God has entrusted to us (Genesis 1:26-28; Luke 10:27).
Encounter
God is eager to be known and experienced by all - “… as we draw near to him, he draws near to us” in ways that both distinguish him and us (James 4:8; Jeremiah 29:13).
Worship
Glory is God on display. Worship is the right response to glory. Worshipping rightly is what keeps our passions directed toward the right things (Psalm 29:2; Romans 12:1-2).
Surrender
As we come to know God and his intentions as “good”, our lives reflect an uncomplicated obedience to him (Psalm 119:68; Romans 1:5).
Practice
Living like Christ (with biblical vision and values) is our response to God’s self-disclosure in history (Matthew 7:24-25; 1 Peter 2:12).
Restoration
God is in the process of restoring all of creation so that it will one day become all that it is presently “groaning” to be (Romans 8:18-23; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
Community
In community we grow into who God has created us to be and provides to the culture reason to believe (Ephesians 4:14-16; Philippians 1:9-10).
Mission
Compelled by love, the church seeks to be a faithful presence of Jesus in their world (Matthew 5:16; 1 Peter 4:10-11).
