Citymark is rooted in scripture. These are the core beliefs that shape everything we do — how we worship, how we serve, and how we treat each other.
The Bible is God's Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God's demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.
The Holy Spirit's presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God's righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
Every person can have a restored relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not earned through good deeds — it is received by grace through faith. This changes everything: who we are, how we live, and where we're going.
The church is God's primary plan for the world. She is the bride of Christ, the one He shed His own blood to purchase. The church is a community of people who belong to Jesus, who grow together in faith, and who exist for those who haven't yet found their way home. Citymark is committed to being a church that League City is glad exists.
Every person was made to live forever — the question is where. People who place their trust in Christ will spend eternity with God. Those who reject Christ's offer of forgiveness will be separated from God forever. This truth makes the mission of the church urgent and beautiful.
