New Hope Palm Harbor - What We Believe

Our Faith and Beliefs

Welcome to Calvary Chapel Abide, a vibrant community where faith and love thrive. As a church committed to sharing the Gospel and serving the community, our beliefs form the foundation of our ministry. We seek to live out our faith through genuine relationships, passionate worship, and impactful outreach.

1. The Bible

We believe in the authority and significance of the Bible as God's Word. The Scriptures are inspired by God, and through them, we encounter His truth, wisdom, and guidance. It is our compass in life, providing teachings for every aspect of our faith and practice.

2. The Trinity

We believe in the eternal existence of the Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are distinct yet co-equal, working harmoniously to fulfill God's redemptive plan. This understanding of the Trinity is central to our understanding of God's nature and relationship with humanity.

3. Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace and is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Through His sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection, we can experience spiritual rebirth and forgiveness of sins. It is by God's grace alone, through faith, that we are saved.

4. The Church

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, consisting of all believers across time and place. It is not confined to a physical building but is a dynamic and diverse community of believers. We are called to love and serve one another, using our unique gifts and abilities to advance God's Kingdom.

5. Baptism and Communion

We believe in the significance of the sacraments of baptism and communion. Baptism is an outward expression of our inward faith, symbolizing our identification with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is a time of remembrance and spiritual nourishment as we partake in the bread and wine, representing Christ's body and blood.

6. The Return of Christ

We eagerly anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ, when He will gather His Church and establish His eternal Kingdom. While the exact timing may be unknown, we are called to live in anticipation, actively proclaiming the Gospel and faithfully fulfilling our God-given purpose.

2. Discipleship and Community

We value discipleship and intentional community. Through small groups, mentorship programs, and Bible studies, we foster deep relationships grounded in accountability and growth. We believe that no one should walk their faith journey alone, and we provide a supportive environment for spiritual growth.

Living out the Great Commission, we actively engage in local and global missions. Our outreach programs seek to meet the practical and spiritual needs of those in our community and beyond.
