The Journey of Longmont is a church that believes in the God of the Bible.
That means a few key things.
It means that we believe that God is the source and reason for living. And this is not a bad thing! Because God is love. He's the source of love because he is the originator of it-- he had the original idea. So everything else we believe or do is shaped by this filter: How does this show God's love?
It means we believe the Bible is the primary to know the basics of who God is and what he wants for us.
It means we believe that God the Father loved this world so much that he sent Jesus, the 2nd person of the Trinity (the Son), to redeem us from our sin and heal our brokenness through his death on the cross and his resurrection. We believe that God calls us to partner with him to share this message of hope to a broken world. We believe that God lives in us through his Holy Spirit (#3 in the Trinity) and his presence empowers us to live life as he wants.

We believe the Bible is God's written revelation.
In it,
God reveals himself, his love for us, renews our understanding of the world and ourselves, and directs
us in all our relationships and activities. We believe fully inspired and without error in all it intends to teach.
The Bible was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit but through human authors, and it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and action: 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Mark 13:31; John 8:31, 32; John 20:31; Acts 20:32
We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons; the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. How can three persons be one God and not a committee of three gods? We don't get how that works either, but according to the Bible, they are equal in every way, carrying out different yet complimentary work in the areas of creation, everyday involvement in our lives, and the redemption and renewal of this world. They live in a complete community of love that is our ultimate example of other-oriented living: Genesis 1:1, 26; John 1:1, 3; Matthew 28:19; John 4:24; Romans 1:19, 20; Ephesians 4:5, 6
