Our Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of the Hawthorne Gospel Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

 

Scriptures

In the verbal inspiration of all the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, and that they are the final authority in faith and life.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; Matthew 5:17

God

In one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Humanity

In the total depravity of all humanity, and the necessity of regeneration.
Romans 3:9-11; Ephesians 2:1-4; John 3:3, 16, 36

Christ

In the virgin birth of Christ, and that he is true God and true man. That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, and that with his shed blood, he obtained for us an eternal redemption.

Resurrection

In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

Our History

There was a time in the history of the Hawthorne Gospel Church when there was no church building and the roads of the community were dirt ones. There, the seeds of a ministry were born when laborers for God’s vineyard came together in a firehouse to pray.
