Belief
Statements
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God, and infallible in its’ widely accepted and accurate interpretation by biblical scholars.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables believers to live according to His will.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

In keeping with the interdenominational nature of our organization, we make a deliberate effort to avoid emphasizing any particular theological interpretation, and we do not hold an exhaustive Statement of Faith as we do not function as our residents' comprehensive spiritual/ Church Community. Our mandate is to concentrate on the basic tenets of the Christian faith as broadly accepted by most denominations.
NOTE:
The birth, life, teachings, words, actions, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (*) are our sole lens for interpreting the inspired and infallible Word of God concerning the Kingdom of God, truth, morality, and conduct of mankind. For the purposes of HRAZ’s faith, doctrine, practice, and policy, our Board of Directors is HRAZ’s final interpretive authority on scriptural application.
(*) Colossians 1:15 - 20
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
