DNA of THRIVE

Thrive is more than a program. It is a philosophy. While every location of Thrive may have its own flavor, the fundamentals beliefs of our philosophy and program should reflect Biblical Christian beliefs and all churches, leaders, life groups or other who gather under the name, THRIVE and under the logo above have agreed to the following. Any group that deviates from these core beliefs have, in doing, disassociated themselves from Thrive.

WE BELIEVE the Scripture of the Old and New Testament are inspired by God and inerrant in the original text. Scripture is the supreme and final authority in faith and life. Scripture is useful to believers for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. WE

 

BELIEVE in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.

 

WE BELIEVE in the deity of the Holy Spirit as a Person distinct from the Father and Son, and possessing all of the divine attributes. He exalts Christ, convicts people of sin, enlightens, gifts, and empowers believers and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.

 

WE BELIEVE that man was created in the image of God and that the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam and was alienated from God. Only through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation, which was made possible by His death and resurrection, are we reconciled to God.

 

WE BELIEVE in the eternal life of the saved with God in heaven and the eternal separation of the lost in hell.

 

WE BELIEVE the Lord Jesus is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.​

 

WE BELIEVE in the process of RECOVERY. We believe not only in the 12 STEPS but that Christian recovery means FREEDOM.

 

WE BELIEVE we were created to THRIVE in mind, body and spirit and, in that way, we are a trinity as well.

 

WE BELIEVE in the biblical definition of and instructions pertaining to sexual ethics in all circumstances and in the biblical definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman for one lifetime.

 

WE BELIEVE that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

 

WE BELIEVE that all human beings are made in the image of God and thus endowed with intrinsic value. Therefore, we believe in promoting respect for and protecting the worth and dignity of every individual human being, born or unborn, including unborn children from conception; those newly born; persons with disabilities; the elderly; and other vulnerable people, especially those who cannot defend themselves.

 

WE BELIEVE God longs for everyone to experience His love and joyfully offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through the free gift of His son, Jesus Christ.​

 

WE BELIEVE it is important that our attendees, members and guests know what WE BELIEVE.

We BELIEVE all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God and all will be judged and that we are not that judge but God is.

 

WE BELIEVE that there are many who may not believe what WE BELIEVE. However, the leaders, teachers, professionals, ministers, pastors who make up THRIVE reserves the right to BELIEVE what WE BELIEVE and we uphold the right of others to believe differently even if we BELIEVE they are wrong. But we will not accept, affirm, tolerate that which we BELIEVE is wrong. 

WE BELIEVE God is welcoming to all to come as they are... But He does not conform His truth to fit our sinful nature. Instead, we must conform to fit His Righteous and Holy nature.
