Purpose Church

Our Story

The West Valley is growing fast.

People are moving here for opportunity, but many still feel disconnected and alone.

In 2022, five families moved from Ohio to start Purpose Church so people could find community, clarity, and their purpose.

There’s a place for you here.

Purpose Church

Our Beliefs

Everything we do is rooted in Scripture. These are the core beliefs that shape Purpose Church.

We believe there is one God, and that by Him all things were created. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, perfect, completely worthy of our trust and, above all, holy. God is completely good, loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.

Scripture

Deuteronomy 32:39 · 1 Samuel 2:2 · Isaiah 44:8 · Mark 12:32 · Luke 18:19 · 1 Corinthians 8:6

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God who became fully man. Born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and made a way for every person to be eternally reconciled to God.

Scripture

John 1:1, 14 · Isaiah 9:6 · Philippians 2:5–11 · Matthew 1:18, 23–25 · Luke 24:36–39 · Colossians 1:20

We believe the Holy Spirit is God’s presence with mankind and convicts all people of sin. For believers, the Spirit renews the soul, empowers Christlike living, gives spiritual gifts, and guides followers of Jesus into all truth.

Scripture

Joel 2:28–29 · Acts 1:5 · Acts 2:1–4, 17, 38–39 · Romans 12:4–8 · 1 Corinthians 12:1–31 · 1 Peter 4:10

We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal.

Scripture

Genesis 1:26 · Matthew 3:16–17 · Matthew 28:19 · Luke 1:35 · Isaiah 9:6 · Hebrews 3:7–11

We believe the Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is truth without any mixture of error, completely relevant today, and the foundation for everything we believe, teach, and practice.

Scripture

2 Timothy 3:16 · 2 Peter 1:20–21 · Proverbs 30:5 · Romans 16:25–26

We believe humanity was created good and upright but fell through voluntary sin. Our only hope for redemption is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Scripture

Genesis 1:26–31 · Genesis 3:1–7 · Romans 5:12–21

We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. It cannot be earned through good works or human effort but is made possible through His death, burial, and resurrection.

Scripture

Ephesians 2:8–9 · Galatians 2:16 · Titus 3:5 · Romans 10:9–10 · Acts 16:31 · Hebrews 9:22

We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant and sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by God and publicly entered into before Him.

Scripture

Matthew 19:4–6

We believe gender is created by God and revealed in Scripture as male and female. Each person is made in the image of God with equal value, dignity, and purpose according to His design.

Scripture

Genesis 1:27 · Matthew 19:4

We believe communion is a sacred time of worship, reflection, and remembrance. Through the bread and juice, believers remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and proclaim His death until He returns.

Scripture

Luke 22:19–20 · Matthew 26:26–29 · 1 Corinthians 10:16 · 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

We believe every follower of Jesus should publicly declare their faith through water baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as an act of obedience to Christ.

Scripture

Matthew 28:19 · Acts 2:38 · Mark 16:16 · Acts 8:36–38 · Acts 10:47–48

We believe all followers of Jesus become members of His body, the Church. God calls believers to gather regularly for worship, prayer, biblical teaching, fellowship, and the mission of making disciples.

Scripture

Ephesians 1:22–23 · Ephesians 2:19–22 · Hebrews 10:25 · John 17:20–23
