The bible is the absolute authority
We believe that God has blessed humanity by giving them His Word. The collection of 66 books in the Bible are divinely inspired and given to us by God Himself with the intended purpose to establish a standard for truth, guidance, and most importantly a relationship.
Jesus is the way
We believe that Jesus is "...the way the truth and the life." (John 14:6) and that He is the only way to receive salvation. We believe that Jesus was more than just a good teacher or a prophet, but rather that He was, and is, the true son of God.
Father, Son, Holy Spirit
We believe in the divine Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That God is one God and three persons and that all three persons of the trinity are united as one and work together for a shared ultimate purpose to love and restore humanity.
God's Grace is sufficient
We believe that there is nothing a person can do to earn or deserve the kindness of God. It is out of His compassion and power that each of us has access to salvation. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10)
god empowers his people
We believe that God has commissioned His people for a great purpose, to love Him and tell the world about the redemptive love of God. He empowers His people both with a command (Matthew 28:18-20 & Acts 1:1-11) and with the presence of his Holy Spirit, who He calls our advocate and counselor.
community is vital
The example that Jesus demonstrated for us was of believers "in community", doing life together. Serving one another, loving one another, and trusting one another. Being salt and light, learning, growing, praising, and worshipping together as living examples of God's kingdom. (Acts 2: 43-47)
discipleship is key
At Mexia First Assembly our goal is not just to see people become life-long followers of Jesus but to see people pursue a heart aligned with God's own through discipleship. Then to follow Jesus's example and command and become disciples who make disciples. Growing God's kingdom through our example, wisdom, and love.
