What We Believe
At Imboden First Assembly, we believe the Bible is God’s living Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable in our everyday lives. We believe God is the Creator of all things, and He exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is both God and man, and He is the only one who can reconcile us to God. We believe all are sinners, and sin has separated us from God’s purpose in our lives. The only way to receive forgiveness of our sins is to repent, believe in Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
Below are the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God. These are our foundational beliefs based upon the Word of God. These are the truths that we hold to in worship and service to our Lord, Jesus Christ! Scripture references are made available with each belief.
