Sound Doctrine Church upholds and lives the following foundational Christian truths.

• Love, empowered by the Holy Spirit, for God and man is the most important matter and the essential goal in Jesus Christ. Everything else at Sound Doctrine Church has its foundation in Christ upon this.
  (1 Corinthians 13:1-13, Luke 1:17, Matthew 10:34, John 13:35)
• The Bible is the inspired Word of God and only through the Holy Spirit may we understand it.
  (2 Timothy 3:16, Luke 24:45)
• Only through the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can mercy be freely given by God to worthless sinners. Jesus paid the price of punishment for our sins.
  (Acts 4:12, Romans 3:12)
• The concept of the Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, with each being separate yet fully God, and as only one God – is supported in Scripture.
  (Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 Corinthians 8:5-6, John 14:9, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 3:17)
• Leadership can, is and should be held accountable by the power of the Holy Spirit.
  (1 Timothy 5:20, 1 John 1:7)
• Only those who hate their lives, deny themselves, pick up their cross, and follow Jesus are Christians.
  (John 12:25, Luke 14:25-35, Luke 9:23)
• No spiritual insanity is allowed. We do not preach miracles or hermeneutics, but Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
  (1 Corinthians 1:22-24, 2:1-2, 2 Corinthians 11:17-23)
• We believe in and practice Biblical church discipline.
  (1 Corinthians 5:11, Ephesians 5:1-7, 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15)
• We do not believe we are the only true Christians or church.
  (Luke 9:49-50, Matthew 12:50)
• Salvation and obedience are received by faith. Salvation is a free gift from God and obedience must be surrendered to by way of the cross.
  (Romans 1:5, 1:17, Ephesians 2:8, James 2:14-26, 1 John 3:9)
• There is a heaven and a hell. Jesus was crucified, rose from the dead, and will soon return.
  (Revelation 20:1-21:1, 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18)
• We believe that spiritual gifts, as practiced according to Scripture, are still legitimate and active in the church today. However, we thoroughly oppose the abuse and mockery of these gifts.
  (1 Corinthians 12:27-31, 1 Corinthians 14:1-40)
• We uphold that marriage and the Biblical concept of family should be honored by all. Husbands, wives, parents, and children, should love one another according to the pattern provided by God.
  (Colossians 3:18-21, Ephesians 6:1-4, Hebrews 13:4, Titus 2:1-8, 1 Timothy 5:1-2, Acts 10:2, )
• All sexual immorality is sin. The only acceptable sexual relations are between husband and wife, as God originally made them.
  (Matthew 19:4-6, Romans 1:24-28, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Galatians 5:19-21)
