About Engedi Church

Our Beliefs

We're a Mission-Driven Church

God created us for wholeness in Him and meaningful connections with others. Our attempts to live without Him broke this dream, alienating us from God and each other.
Jesus is the answer. He came to bring good news, free the oppressed, and set prisoners free—showing us life in God’s kingdom and restoring what was lost.


While full harmony awaits Jesus’ return, you can experience and share restoration now. Join us in advancing Jesus’ kingdom revolution worldwide.

We believe in God
• Almighty Creator, Sustainer of all, both seen and unseen, the heavens and earth
• One God in three Persons, each fully God, in perfect community with one another
• Eternal, unchanging, all-knowing, and good; perfect in justice, beauty, and love
• At work saving, restoring, and guiding creation and the Church toward God’s kingdom.
We believe in God the Father
• Immortal, invisible, sovereign, holy, loving, and wise
• Who spoke all out of nothing and breathed life into man
• Who loves each of us with an unconditional and eternal love
• Protector of the unprotected and adoptive Father of all who trust in His Son
We believe in Jesus
• Son of God, Word became flesh, born of a virgin and without sin
• Messiah, Lord, Savior and the fulfillment of Israel’s story and Scripture
• He suffered, died, was buried and rose triumphant over sin, death and Satan
• Ascended into heaven and seated at the right hand of the Father
• He will return to judge and establish God’s kingdom
• His life, mission, and teachings are the ultimate pattern for life
We believe in the Holy Spirit
• Spirit of Truth, sent by the Father and Son, moving throughout the world to convict and renew
• Counselor, Teacher, Giver of gifts, Comforter, Helper, the one source of true worship
• Drawing us into God’s triune communion and transforming us into Christlikeness
• Uniting the Church for the glory of Christ
We believe in the Church
• One body and beloved bride of Christ, the hope of society and culture
• A countercultural presence of God’s kingdom in this world Worshiping together, proclaiming the Good News, and bringing restoration to the world
• A fellowship of mutual love, life-sharing, and sacrifice
• Called to make disciples of every nation, and to teach them to love God and others
We believe in the Holy Scriptures
• Divinely inspired revelation of God penned by human hands
• Truth without error in its original form Communicating God’s mission and heart from creation to consummation
• Revealing that God is at work in this world in a people; Israel, the Church, the kingdom of God
• Our lamp and guide in faith and life, each book pointing to Christ
We believe in the Forgiveness of Sins
• Rebellious in nature and action, each person is subject to divine judgment
• In Christ, God became fully human to redeem us fully
• Through His sacrifice on the cross, Jesus took the just wrath of God in our place
• We died with Him; He died instead of us and for our benefit
• His death liberates us from sin and systemic evil, and justifies us
• God’s grace, through faith alone, brings healing; today in part and fully to come
We believe in Life Everlasting
• The resurrection of Christ broke the bonds of death and ushers in new creation
• Resurrection hope while in this world and beyond this life
• The triumphant return of Christ and the resurrection of the body
• Bringing judgment; eternal separation from God or eternal life on the new earth
• The final establishment of the kingdom of God; of peace, justice, love, and holiness
• Where every tribe, tongue, and nation join together to worship God and enjoy Him forever!

Meet our lead pastors

When we started Engedi, our hope was to help people come alive to God’s love and what He wants to do around the world. Since then, thousands of people of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds have experienced God through Engedi’s ministries. As you learn more about our church, please know that we want to encourage you in whatever way we can. Our heart is the same today as it was when we launched: for the church to be a community where people learn to live a meaningful, expansive life through Jesus. That’s the kind of life we believe draws attention to God!
