BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe that baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers, and that the Holy Spirits incoming follows the same pattern that is described in the New Testament (Acts 2:4).
WATER BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER We believe that baptism by immersion in water is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4). We believe in commemorating the Lord’s Supper by the symbolic use of bread and fruit of the vine (1 Cor. 11:24, 25).
CHURCH RELATIONSHIP We believe that followers of Christ have a sacred duty to identify with the visible church of Jesus Christ and should meet regularly with fellow believers (Heb. 10:24, 25).
CIVIL GOVERNMENT We believe that laws and ordinances come from God’s ultimate authority and should be upheld, except when they are in opposition to the revealed will of God (Rom. 13:1-5).
DAILY CHRISTIAN LIFE We believe that it is the will of God for believers to walk in progressive sanctification, growing continuously in the faith (Heb. 6:1).
Our Beliefs
DIVINE HEALING We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to prayer offered in faith (Jas. 5:14-16).
EVANGELISM We believe that the church’s primary responsibilities are taking the gospel to the entire world and making disciples (Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:19-20).
THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe that God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14).
THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man is created in the image of God but, by voluntary disobedience, fell from perfection—thereby imbuing humanity with sinfulness (Rom. 5:12).
THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon Christians (1 Cor. 12:1-11) and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Gal. 5:22-25).
HEAVEN We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Rev. 7:15-17).
Formerly known as Turning Point Church of Lebanon and Fairview Community Church, the church hosted East Linn Christian Academy until 2012. Our current pastor, George Medellin, came aboard in the late winter of 2021. In the spring of 2021, God spoke to Pastor George and said, "Change the name of the church to House of Glory." "Huh?!" George said. "God, if this is You, please give me three Bible verses to support what I think I'm hearing." Within several minutes, Holy Spirit led George to Haggai 2:6-9. We believe God wants to show people who He is through this faith community by showing up in tangible ways.
The House of Glory has a long history in this community.
HELL We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as Savior (Rev. 20:11-15).
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe that the Bible is God-inspired (2 Tim. 3:16, 17).
THE FINAL JUDGMENT We believe every person will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive eternal life or death (Rev. 20:11-15; Heb. 9:27; 2 Cor. 5:10).
MODERATION We believe that people who follow Christ should avoid the extremes of fanaticism and pursue lives of balance and moderation, demonstrating gentleness and patience (Phil. 4:5, KJV; Col. 3:12, 13).
THE NEW BIRTH We believe that a genuine change takes place in people who accept Christ as Savior; believers allow Christ’s life to be lived through them (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20).
REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE We believe that, upon sincere repentance and a wholehearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (Rom. 10:8-10; 1 John 1:9).
THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION We believe that, while we were sinners, Christ died for us—pardoning all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8).
SALVATION THROUGH GRACE We believe that we receive salvation when we come to God through faith in the atoning work of Jesus on the cross. Salvation is God’s gift to us (Eph. 2:8).
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1 Thess. 4:16, 17; Titus 2:11- 13).
THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE We believe that it is the will of God that we daily walk in the power of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30-32).
TITHES AND OFFERINGS We believe the method ordained by God for the support and spread of His cause is giving tithes and offerings (Mal. 3:10; 2 Cor. 9:7).
Our Vision
To take the uncompromised Word of God to the whole world, breaking the power of the devil, and setting the captives free.
To train Believers how to live independent of this world’s system, have dominion over it, and benefit our community.
