Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Trinity

    We believe in the Trinity, which is the doctrine that God is one, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Trinity are distinct and unified, co-existing in perfect harmony and working together to create and sustain the world. We recognize that since God is the Creator and the source of all life, He exists in three persons who are distinct yet united, understanding each other completely and working together to bring about His plans for humanity. We believe that the Trinity is an essential part of understanding God and His purpose for us. By embracing the Trinity, we can have a deeper relationship with the Lord and better understand His will for our lives.

  • The Bible

    We believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible, that it is the true and inspired word of God. We believe that the Bible is our standard for life, and its truth, integrity, and relevance is of utmost importance. The Bible is not just a book, but a living guide, full of God’s wisdom and guidance. Through scripture, we learn about God’s character, how to live and act, and how to grow in our spiritual journey. We believe that by reading and studying the Bible, we are able to draw closer to God and deepen our understanding of His love.

  • Jesus

    We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the central figure of Christianity, the Word of God made flesh. Jesus was sent by God to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins so that we could enjoy an eternal life with Him. Jesus’ teachings on love, forgiveness, humility, and repentance are at the core of our beliefs. We also believe in Jesus’ resurrection, that it was proof of His deity and the promise of eternal life for all those who believe. We are called to follow Jesus, to live lives of holiness, and to share the good news of the gospel. As we learn to love and serve others, we are reminded of Jesus’ example of love and sacrifice.

  • Salvation

    We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus was sent by God to save us and give us eternal life. Salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus and repentance of our sins. We understand that we are saved through grace and not by any works of our own. The Bible teaches us that no matter what mistakes we make, God’s love and grace are always available to us. We believe that through accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are able to have the assurance of salvation and the promise of eternal life with God.

  • Baptism

    We believe in the importance of baptism. Baptism symbolizes a believer's commitment to Jesus and His teachings, and is an outward act of confessing our faith in Him. We believe that baptism is essential to Christian discipleship, and it is a beautiful way to proclaim our allegiance to Jesus. Baptism is a sacred and meaningful experience, and we are deeply committed to helping believers celebrate this important milestone in their journey of faith. By celebrating and honoring baptism, we are proclaiming our faith in Jesus and our desire to serve Him and others.

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, miracles, tongues, and prophecy so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.

  • The Church

    We believe in the Christian doctrinal belief of The Church. We believe that the Church is a holy assembly of believers, united in faith and love. We strive to be a community of believers who are united in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our commitment to serve Him and His kingdom. We are committed to loving God and loving others, and to be known for our love for one another. We believe that the Church is a body of believers who are called to serve and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be faithful disciples of Jesus and to follow His teachings. We strive to live out our faith through loving actions and service to our community and the world.

  • Prayer

    We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.

Our Values

As you’re with someone, you become like them. The more you’re with Jesus, the more you become like him. As a church, we exist to lead people into life with Jesus, and life with Jesus leads to becoming more faithful, complete, and generous.


Faithful

We want to become more faithful because how we live matters. God consistently tells us to be attentive to his words and ways; to pick up what he wants for us and lay down what he doesn't, trusting that his ways are best.


Complete

We want to become more complete, fully integrated, all systems go. God cares about our whole life: spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally, sexually, financially, intellectually, and vocationally. He wants it all to be whole and holy.


Generous

We want to become generous reflecting God's own heart. Generous with the words we use, with the time we have, with the gifts we've been given, with our stuff, our space, our finances, and with the message of Jesus.

What to Expect

At JaxNaz, we use things like lights, videos, different kinds of music, and storytelling to experience God. Our services are all about understanding how to live life with Jesus, and like Jesus.


We don't make things complicated because we want to take what we learn and actually use it in everyday life.

  • Where do I go when I get there?

    We're dedicated to assisting you as much as you need! If you prefer to navigate independently, feel free to enter the Sanctuary and choose any available seating. For those with children, connect with our volunteers at Family Check-In, and they'll provide guidance. Our staff and volunteers are ready in the Becoming More Space to help you establish connections, or you can conveniently fill out our digital connect card before your visit!

  • Where are the bathrooms?

    We have bathrooms all around the church. In the big entryway, we call it the "Commons," there's a special bathroom for families. We also have bathrooms just for women and men, and guess what? They all have changing tables, too! So, if you ever need to use the bathroom or change a diaper, we've got you covered.

  • What is available for Kids & Youth?

    We have spaces and services intentionally designed for specific stages of development. JaxNaz Kids - Birth-Kindergarten meet every Sunday during our 8:30a | 10:00a | 11:30a services and JaxNaz Kids - 1st-5th Grade meet during our 10:00a | 11:30a services

  • Is American Sign Language interpretation available at the service?

    Yes, at our 10:00a Sunday service, we have someone who can interpret in American Sign Language (ASL).

  • What should I wear?

    At JaxNaz, people wear all kinds of clothes, like fancy suits or casual T-shirts and shorts. You can wear whatever you like because everyone here is like family, and we want you to feel comfy!

  • Where do I park?

    As we become more like Jesus… grow… and change… we can experience some growing pains. If you've attended services the past couple weeks, you've probably felt these growing pains in the parking lot! Beginning this weekend, we are making a few changes to the traffic flow on Sunday mornings, to improve the efficiency and safety.
