Our Beliefs
Our Beliefs
Pathway Christian Church is a Bible-based church. We are Bible-based in that we seek to base all of our beliefs and our lifestyle on explicit passages of the Bible or on biblical principles. Based on Scripture, we believe the following:
Fundamental Doctrine
The basic and fundamental doctrine of this organization shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.
We strive to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit until we all come into the unity of the faith, all the same time admonishing all brethren that they should not contend for their different views to the disunity of the body.
The Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. It was written by human authors under the power of the Holy Spirit. Since it was inspired by God himself, the Bible is truth without any error.
God
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.
Sin & Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.
God's Future For Us
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.

What People Are Saying
"I was in Silver Springs for work looking for a church to attend. When I walked in I was greeted by an usher named Angel who made sure I had a seat and took the time to find out who I was and where I was from. Great attention to detail especially with all the violence that goes on in churches. I felt at home here and the atmosphere was awesome. You could feel the spirit flow in this place. When I am in Silver Springs I will attend this church."
