As a church we have essential beliefs that give us unity. In the non-essentials, we have liberty. But above all, and through all of our beliefs, we show love.
HopeFront Church is about reaching all people with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. We welcome all people regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, religion, or political beliefs. We believe that every person should be shown compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are not in accord with the doctrines of the church.
Anyone seeking God and wanting to learn more of the teachings of Christ is welcome and will not be excluded from attending HopeFront Church.

The Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s infallible and authoritative word that was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
The Trinity
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and in His personal return in power and glory.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.
Salvation
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
Baptism
We believe it is important to uphold the scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of Communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation, but that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
Communion
We believe in the act of communion as a commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples before his crucifixion. During communion, we encourage believers to partake in the symbolic consumption of bread and juice, which represent the body and blood of Christ. We offer communion during our response stations each Sunday.
Marriage
We believe that God our Creator established marriage as a sacred institution between one man and one woman and that marriage is a picture of Christ’s relationship to His Bride - The Church. Marriage is defined from the beginning of Scripture as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. God designed sexual intimacy for a marriage relationship and does not endorse or condone it in any other context. (1 Thess 4:3-5; Matt 19:4-6; Genesis 2:24)
