What's Happening at UPA

What We BELIEVE

BIBLE

The Bible is God's inspired word to us. It's the final authority on doctrinal truths, infallible and inerrant.
II Timothy 3:15-17, I Peter 1:23-25, Hebrews 4:12

GOD

We believe God exists in three persons -- the Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. We believe all three are alive and at work today. We also believe this God of three persons is the one and only true God (Matthew 28:9; Luke 3:22; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

REDEMPTION

Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.” But man, by his transgression, fell. His only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Genesis 1:26-31, Genesis 3:1-17, Romans 5:12-21

SALVATION

Our only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus became sin and took on our disease providing both salvation and divine healing for all.
Psalm 103:3 Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:8-10, Romans 3:24

BAPTISM

Water baptism, being a type of burial with Christ, should be observed as commanded in the scriptures by all who have repented and in their hearts truly believe in Christ and have accepted Him as Savior and Lord.
Matthew 28:19, Acts 8:36-37, Romans 6:4

THE LORD’S SUPPER

We believe that the Lord’s Supper is an ordinance of the church established by Christ. It is a time of remembering Christ’s sacrifice for man.
I Corinthians 11:23-31, Matthew 26:26-30

BAPTISM OF HOLY SPIRIT

All believers are entitled to and should expect the baptism of the Holy Spirit. With it, comes power for life and service and the ability to pray in other tongues.
Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4-8, 2:38, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 19:1-6, 1 Cor. 14:1-6

CHURCH

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for fulfillment of the Great Commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the church.
Ephesians 1:22, Ephesians 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23

MARRIAGE AND SEXUALITY

We believe that God creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complimentary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. We believe that the term "marriage" means the uniting of one man and one woman in an exclusive union. (Genesis 1:26-27)

TOTAL PROSPERITY

Our good Father has provided total prosperity for mankind, spirit, soul, and body through the finished work of Jesus Christ. This prosperity includes wholeness and health in all areas of human existence to include: spiritual, emotional, mental, financial, relational, and purpose.John 3:3, 11, II Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10, II Timothy 1:7, Romans 12:2, Isaiah 26:3, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, I Peter 2:24, III John 2, III John 2, Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38, II Corinthians 9:6-10, Deuteronomy 28:1-14

BLESSED HOPE

Jesus is coming again to gather His saints to Himself and together they will reign with Him in His everlasting Kingdom. Dan 2:44, Dan 7:14, Rev 11:15,
I Corinthians 15:51-52, I Thessalonians 4:16-17, II Thessalonians 2:1, Titus 2:13
