Vision

The Vision

Ogden Church is a worshipping community seeking to glorify God, and to develop people into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Core Beliefs

God

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.

The Bible

We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

The Person & Work of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—Israel's promised Messiah—was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.
We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.

Marriage & Sexuality

We believe that marriage is defined by a covenantal relationship between one biological man and one biological woman. Sexual intimacy was intended by God to be experienced exclusively in a marriage relationship as defined. Expressions of sexuality outside those bounds are considered sinful and outside of God's created design.

Response & Eternal Destiny

We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of His glorious grace. Amen.

GRACE - GROWTH - GIFTS

A Vision Unleashed

Experience Grace

The most important thing for us at Ogden Church is helping people come to understand and grow in the amazing grace offered to us by Jesus Christ on the cross. This is not only good news for us, but news we should be working to extend to those who have yet to hear, because we believe that anyone who is living without the hope offered by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is lost.

Pursue Growth

The truth is that no one is a finished product, it is important for each of us to grow. Ogden is passionate about helping people find their next steps so that they can continue to grow in their faith and not merely remain stagnant.

Unleash Gifts

Each person has unique gifts that can and should be used within the church. Discovering how you have been gifted to serve is an important step of growth at Ogden while we all as a church work together to be a gift to the community around us and beyond.
