the Church. To fulfill our mission, SOLID Christian Church is built upon these
five pillars and values:
SCRIPTURE
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative word of God.
Therefore, SOLID stresses the reading of God’s Word, the preaching and teaching
of God’s Word, the retention of God’s Word, and the application of righteous
actions according to God’s Word (James 1:22-25, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

OBEDIENCE
SOLID stresses that each member of the church lives a disciplined
life according to God’s Word and the Holy Spirit; God is Holy and, therefore,
SOLID stresses the importance of holy living. Each member is educated and
equipped to bear Christlike fruit representative of genuine discipleship (Leviticus
11:44-45; 1 Samuel 15:22; John 14:15, Galatians 5:22).

LOVE
SOLID encourages its members to actively love God and humanity. This
scriptural mandate is found in two greatest commandments illuminated in both the Old and the New Testaments. In every aspect of our lives we desire to love God
with our entire being, and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Deuteronomy 6:5,
Leviticus 19:18; John 13:34-35).

IDENTITY
True identity is found in no one else but Christ Jesus. SOLID reminds
all people that God created them perfectly in His image (Image of God, IOG).
Although, humanity has fallen to sin Jesus Christ came to earth to restore God’s
image within us. Therefore, SOLID teaches that by accepting Jesus Christ, being
baptized into his death, burial and resurrection, and being transformed into
Christ’s likeness by the Holy Spirit, each individual will return to the full Image
of God and will become sanctified by His Graces (Genesis 1:26-27; Matthew
28:18-20; Romans 6:1-11; Ephesians 4:22-24).

DISCIPLESHIP
SOLID believes that true discipleship found in Jesus Christ
requires five facets. First, the disciple is called to be different than the world and
the people around them. Second, they are to obey all the commands of Jesus
Christ. Third, that they fellowship with other believers. Fourth, that they use
their spiritual gifts to help grow and strengthen the church. Finally, that true
discipleship is seen in the reproduction of other disciples (Matthew 5:1-7:20; John
14:23; Acts 2:42-47, Ephesians 4:1-16, Matthew 28:18-20).
