The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, trustworthy Word of God
and our final standard for faith, doctrine, and daily living.
2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21
God
We believe in one true and living God who eternally exists as Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit. God is holy, loving, sovereign, all-powerful, and worthy
of all worship.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Humanity and Sin
We believe every person is created in the image of God and has dignity, value,
and purpose. Humanity is separated from God by sin and cannot be restored
through personal effort, morality, or religious activity.
Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23
Jesus Christ and Salvation
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life,
died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven,
and is the only way of salvation.
Salvation is a gift of God’s grace received through repentance and faith in
Jesus Christ, not through good works.
John 1:1, 14; John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Ephesians 2:8–10
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God. He convicts people of sin, draws them
to Christ, lives within every believer, guides us into truth, gives spiritual
gifts, and produces Christlike character.
John 14:16–17; John 16:8–13; Galatians 5:22–23
The Church
We believe the Church is made up of all who have placed their faith in Jesus
Christ. Believers are called to gather in a faithful local church for worship,
biblical teaching, prayer, fellowship, service, baptism, communion, and
participation in God’s mission.
Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:24–25
Baptism and Communion
We believe baptism is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ, and
communion is a remembrance of His sacrificial death. Neither saves us; both
are acts of obedience for believers.
Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
Christian Living
We believe followers of Jesus are called to lives of worship, obedience,
holiness, love, humility, generosity, prayer, and service. Obedience does not
earn salvation; it is the response of a life transformed by grace.
We believe marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman, and that every
person should be treated with compassion, dignity, patience, and love.
Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16; Colossians 3:1–17; Matthew 19:4–6
The Return of Christ and Eternity
We believe Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return, judge the world in
righteousness, defeat evil, and establish His eternal kingdom.
Those who have received salvation through Christ will experience eternal life
in God’s presence. Those who reject Christ will face final judgment and eternal
separation from God.
Acts 1:11; Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–4
The Gospel and Our Teaching Commitment
We believe the gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, rose from
the dead, and offers forgiveness and eternal life to everyone who repents and
believes in Him.
At Got a Minute?, we are committed to teaching Scripture in context, keeping
Jesus and the gospel central, distinguishing biblical truth from personal opinion,
communicating with clarity and grace, avoiding sensationalism, correcting mistakes
responsibly, and encouraging involvement in a faithful local church.
We recognize that sincere Christians may disagree on some secondary issues. We
seek to explain those differences respectfully while remaining firm on the essential
truths of the Christian faith.
Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Mark 1:15
