What We Believe, Our Mission, and Our Vision
Rooted in the foundational truths of Scripture.
The following are the core beliefs of First Apostolic Church of Palos Hills, 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.
Core Doctrines
The Bible
We believe that the Bible teaches that there is only one true, ever living, eternal God, infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purpose, and possessing absolute, invisible deity. The one true God has revealed Himself as Father, through His Son in redemption, and as the Holy Ghost, by emanation. This one true God manifest Himself in the Old Testament in various ways; in the Son while He walked among men; as the Holy Ghost after the ascension.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Salvation
We believe in the Bible standard of full salvation, believing on the Lord through repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
