The following are the core beliefs of Team Church - NC 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.
God is the creator and sustainer of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are the one God.
Genesis 1:1-27; Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 90:12; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Acts 5:3-4
Jesus is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus was born to a virgin, lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Jesus is the only way for people to be reconciled to God.
Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and Jesus. He is present in this world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every follower of Jesus from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As followers of Jesus we seek to live under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 14:16,17; 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
Human beings were made in the spiritual image of God. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1,2
The Bible is God's word. It was given to us by God through human beings who were inspired by Him. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 106; 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
The Church is a body of believers united in Christ, the hope of the world, and it should be a part of each person's Christian life.
Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; John 17:11, 20-23
Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his or her life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12; 14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
We believe baptism is the first step of the Christian life. After someone makes a faith decision by inviting Christ to take control of his or her life, baptism is the next step. Baptism is a public statement of something that has already occurred in your life. When you are baptized, you are publicly saying that you are now a part of Christ's team and you are a Christ-Follower. Baptism is simply a step of obedience in the Christian life. Christ was baptized by immersion, and therefore we baptize by immersion at Team Church. Baptism alone does not ensure salvation. Salvation only comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19-20
Christians are people who have invited Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to Him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead.
John 1:12; John 14:17, 23; John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelation 3:20
Repentance is to turn away from sin and follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.
Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:19
Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. Because of that, those who have placed their faith in Christ will experience resurrection into the kingdom of heaven.
Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:!5; 1 Corinthians 15:42, 44; Ephesians 1:21-23, 3:21
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation in Jesus Christ, or separated from God by our own sin. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 2:25; 3:16; John 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 1:81; 2:44-46
We believe the term "marriage" has only one meaning and that is marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. God, in His divine wisdom, created marriage as the covenanted, conjugal union of one man and one woman. Sexual intimacy is a gift from God and has its proper place only within the context of marriage.
Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6; Hebrews 13:4
Our Values
These are the items that we feel called to that make us unique in our community. It is our culture, our DNA, our basic operating principles:
Team Church believes in "WE" over "ME" and that every Christian has value for the local church and has God given gifts and passions that are to be used compatibly with the purpose of the church and its ministries. Team Church believes the church should be led by those with the spiritual gift of leadership and they are to be equippers and servants to the church. This includes the responsibilities of LOVE, SERVE, GIVE, SHARE.
Nehemiah 1-2, Acts 6:2-5; Romans 12:8
Team Church believes in "Doing Life Together" and that the pursuit of healthy relationships is vital for every Christian. Integrity, honesty, humility and accountability are the cornerstone of these relationships.
Acts 2:44-47; Luke 6:12-13
Team Church believes that the church should be culturally relevant while remaining biblically pure. This includes the experience of grace felt during our services and the strategy of how all ministry is presented through our facility, media, technology and the arts.
1 Cor. 9:19-23; 1 Peter 3:15
Team Church believes that the Bible is the never changing inspired Word of God and is the greatest catalyst for transformation in individual lives.
Romans 12:7; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:23-25
Team Church believes the local church should be consistently engaged in serving, helping and inspiring those who are less fortunate locally, regionally and globally. This belief drives our concept of intentional impact in local schools, local mission organizations and trusted foreign organizations.
Acts 1:8; James 1:27; 1 Timothy 5:3-16
Team Church believes that all lost people matter to God and therefore, they matter greatly to us. This includes teaching the concepts of individual relational evangelism and church wide processes.
Luke 5:30-32; Luke 15; Matthew 18:14
Team Church believes that the pursuit of full devotion to Jesus Christ and the Bible's teachings is normal for every Christian and is evident through a visual lifestyle. Full devotion is personally driven through the continual growing in BIBLE, PRAYER and WORSHIP.
Ephesians 4; Hebrews 12:1; Philippians 1:6, 2:1-11; 1 Kings 11:4; 2 Cor. 8:7
Team Church believes corporate worship honors God, inspires His people and unites the fellowship. Worship is a response to who God is and what He is doing in our lives.
Isaiah 12:5; Hebrews 13:15; Psalm 96:9

Team Church believes that men and women are created equally in worth and identity in Christ (Galatians 3:6-28) and that we all possess spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:11).
Team Church believes that the Bible teaches that men and women are created differently and purposely. Best shown through the covenant of marriage, the two are able to become one physically, emotionally and spiritually (Genesis 2 and Ephesians 5). This illustrates how the church is to function with Christ as the head and believers serving as parts of the body (Ephesians 5 and Titus).

Team Church believes God gave us eternal life through Jesus Christ, and a believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” your salvation. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. Salvation is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us security.
John 10:28-29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10-14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
