  • Volunteer Covenant

  • Statement of Faith:

    Heart & Hands of East Texas is guided by certain foundational beliefs and core values. Our statement of theological foundations includes,but is not limited to the following:        

    • Absolute Truth - We believe the Bible, composed of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament, is the inspired Word of God and without error in the original writing. The Bible was given by God through human writers as guided by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the full and final authority on all matters of faith and practice; there are no other writings similarly inspired by God.     
    • God - We believe in a personal God who has revealed Himself as One; God exists in
    three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is distinct–yet
    all of One essence and deity. We believe that God the Father is Creator and Ruler of all.
    He is compassionate, loving, and just toward all people and is faithful to keep His
    promises. He desires all people to have a relationship with Him by receiving His Son,
    Jesus.
    • Jesus Christ - We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He came to earth fully
    God and fully man through a miraculous conception and virgin birth. He lived a sinless
    life and voluntarily died on the cross in our place as full payment for the sins of all
    people. He is the final and complete sacrifice for the sins of all humanity. He arose bodily
    from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended
    into heaven to the right hand of the Father. He will personally return to earth and those
    who have believed in Him will be united with God eternally in Heaven.
    • Holy Spirit - We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who reveals God’s
    truth to the world and indwells believers to empower them for Godly life and service. We
    believe in the diversity of gifts by the Spirit for the common good of the church and are
    all operating today.
    • Salvation - We believe that sin was introduced into the world through the fall of Adam in
    the Garden of Eden. The reality of sin separates each person from God which is spiritual
    death. People can be reconciled to God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,
    and Him alone. Anyone who accepts and believes in Jesus’ death for the forgiveness of
    sin is forgiven. Upon this decision, God establishes a personal relationship with that
    person and gives them eternal life.
    • Marriage & Family - We believe God has ordained the family as the foundational
    institution of human society. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in
    covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to reveal the union between
    Christ and His church.
