The Bible is Inspired

The entire Bible was verbally inspired of God.  Not just the ideas, but also the specific words were inspired by God to the original writers of the Scripture.  The Bible is God's revelation of Himself, completely infallible, and divinely authoritative.  (2 Timothy 3:16)

There is One True God

God has revealed himself as having always existed without any outside cause or agent bringing Him into being (Isaiah 43:10).  He is the Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1) and the One who redeems, saves, and rescues mankind from sin and its painful consequence (Isaiah 43:11).  God has further revealed Himself as a single Being consisting of three interrelated persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:22).

Jesus Christ is Fully God

The Lord Jesus Chris, the Son of God, has always existed.  He too is without beginning or end (Revelation 1:8).  He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:23).  He lived a perfect life, absolutely without sin (Hebrews 7:26).  In order to restore fallen mankind, He died on the cross as a substitute for the sins of every person (1 Corinthian 15:3).  He was buried and raised from the dead three days later (Matthew 28:6), and is now seated at the right hand of God.

The Fall of Mankind

Mankind was created good and upright.  However, mankind by willful choice, ignored God's instructions...choosing to engage in what they knew was wrong and evil.  As a result mankind not only incurred physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:17, 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).

Salvation of Mankind

Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin.  Mankind's only hope of redemption from the fallen sinful state is through the blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed when He was crucified on the cross (Matt. 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19).

The Holy Spirit

The nine fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) are the by-product of a Spirit-filled life and evidence of spiritual maturity. The nine gifts of the Spirit are different manifestations of the Spirit to build up the body (I Corinthians 12:1-11). We are instructed to diligently seek the gifts (I Corinthians 12:31, 14:1), but they must be exercised in an orderly way (I Corinthians 14:26-33) in the context of love (I Corinthians 13:1-13).

The Church & its Mission

The Church is the body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:12-27) and has a three-fold purpose: To evangelize the world (Acts 1:8 & Mark 16:15-16), to worship God (I Corinthians 12:13), and to equip for ministry (Ephesians 4:11-16 & I Corinthians 12:28, 14:12).

The Final Judgement

There will be a final judgment in which the dead will be resurrected and judged according to their works (Matthew 25:31-46 & Romans 2:1-9). Everyone whose name is not found written in the Book of Life, along with the devil and his angels, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire (Revelations 20:11-15). Those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be resurrected and stand at the judgment seat of Christ to be rewarded for their good deeds (I Corinthians 4:5).

Do you have anything for my kids?
Absolutely! We believe that the kids are our future and so we have services and activities for children of all ages. When you come into the building you will be directed toward our childrens area and there one of our volunteers will help you get your child checked in. To ensure your child's safety all of our children's workers receive a background check, and you will be given a number tag that must be presented upon check-out.

Newborns -Two (years): Will be in our nusery area.

Three (years) - Kindergarten: Will be a part of our Tiny Traverlers program.

1st - 6th Grade: Will go in the gym for our Konnection Kids service.

What should I wear?
Whatever you are comfortable with. We do not have a dress code here at North Shore. On a typical Sunday morning you will see many in jeans and a t-shirt as well as others in a suit coat and a tie. We don't care what you look like as long as you are here.

Are you going to ask me for money?
We will be taking up an offering during our worship experience allowing our members and faithful attendees an opportunity to give. But as our guest we invite you to come in and enjoy the service without any obligation to give.

What does the actual service look like?
Our contemporary worship team will lead us in singing. We are so in love with Jesus that we set aside time in everyone of our services to praise and worship Him for who He is and what He has done on the Cross. We also believe that the "preaching of the Word" is of the utmost importance. So in every service you will hear one of the pastors share a powerful and anointed message straight from the Word of God.
