Our Core Beliefs
Summit First Assembly is part of the Assemblies of God fellowship. Our beliefs align with the Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths:
The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
- 2 Timothy 3:15-17
- 1 Thessalonians 2:13
- 2 Peter 1:21
The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- Deuteronomy 6:4
- Isaiah 43:10,11
- Matthew 28:19
- Luke 3:22
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:
His virgin birth
- Matthew 1:23
- Luke 1:31
- Luke 1:35
His sinless life

- 1 Peter 2:22
His miracles

The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
- Genesis 1:26,27
- Genesis 2:17
- Genesis 3:6
- Romans 5:12-19
The Salvation of Man
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Conditions to Salvation
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.
- Luke 24:47
- John 3:3
- Romans 10:13-15
- Ephesians 2:8
- Titus 2:11
- Titus 3:5-7
The Evidences of Salvation
The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit.
- Romans 8:16
The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.
- Ephesians 4:24
- Titus 2:12
