WELCOME TO SARATOGA ABUNDANT LIFE CHURCH
WELCOME TO SARATOGA
ABUNDANT LIFE CHURCH!
We believe humanity was created for relationship, born with a purpose, and designed to walk in freedom through intimacy with God.
This revelation should change how we live and who we are. If Jesus set us free, conditions of life must change. The shame of our past has no right to dictate our future. We are no longer orphans, we belong. You are not insignificant, you have tremendous value. At Abundant Life, we are a people growing in the discovery of who we are and the “abundant life” God has set us free to experience. We invite you to join us.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible is the inspired Word of God
The Bible is composed of sixty-six books, including the Old and New Testament. We believe that Scripture in its entirety originated with God, and that it was given to chosen men used as instruments.
We hold that the Scriptures are infallible
We believe Scripture must be honored and revered. It holds the unique, full, and final authority on all matters of faith and practice, and there are no other writings similarly inspired by God.
There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons
The Trinity is comprised of The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! God is encompassed in all three, equally and eternally. They co-exist but present themselves in unique ways to humanity.
Jesus is the eternal Son of God who became a man
Jesus Christ was born through a miraculous conception and virgin birth. He lived a life of perfect obedience to the Father, and voluntarily atoned for our sins by dying on the cross as our substitute, satisfying divine justice for all who trust in Him alone.
Jesus physically rose from the dead
Being raised from the dead, overcoming the power of sin, He ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of the Father. He shall come again to earth, personally and visibly, to fulfill prophecy and the eternal plan of God.
The salvation of mankind is a work of God’s free grace
The salvation of mankind, through the cross of Jesus, is wholly a work of God’s free grace and not by our effort. Through faith in Him, all believers inherit eternal life and become members of His body, sons and daughters of the Living God.
