As an independent Christian Church, we at Water's Edge have no creed other than the Bible itself.

Here are some highlights of what we teach and believe.

• Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God. He died for our sins and rose from the dead. (John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-8)
• The Bible is the inspired Word of God, "a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path." (Psalm 119:105, 2 Timothy 3:16)
• Every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
• Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)
• Those accepting Christ should repent of their sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him. (Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9)
• The Church is the body of Christ on Earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and exists to evangelize the lost and edify the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-6)
