What We Believe
- We believe , and do our best to live by, the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles.
- We affirm the Word of God to be the final authority on all spiritual matters.
- We believe in the New Testament Church, as it is described in the Book of Acts, and that it is God’s model and pattern for every church and we are striving to be that kind of church.
- The Bible to be the inspired, infallible Word of God. (II Timothy 3:15-17)
- There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father through the process of Creation, in His Son Jesus Christ through the process of redemption, and as the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost through the process of regeneration. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:11; I John 5:7, Ephesians 4:4-6)
- In the New Testament "new birth" experience for all believers. (John 3:5; Acts 2:38-39) This includes faith, repentance from sin, water baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:1-5; Isaiah 28:11-12)
- In holiness of heart and spirit as the Bible standard for believers. (Hebrews 12:14)
- In the literal, second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
- In observance of Communion or Lord's supper, open to all believers. (1 Corinthians 11:23-30)
- In the Virgin Birth, through Immaculate conception. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25)
- In tithing and the giving of offerings as God's financial plan for the support of the ministry and furthering of the gospel. (Malachi 3:8-10)
- That the Pastor is the spiritual head of the local assembly and the position is God ordained and should be respected and prayed for on a regular basis. (I Peter 5:2,3)
- In divine healing as provided in the atonement of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 8:17)
- Salvation is through Christ alone. Having a Personal relationship with him. (John 3:16)
- That a person's sexual orientation in no way disqualifies he/she from fellowship in the kingdom of God. All people are welcome to be part of HIS church and believe in these tenets of faith regardless of being heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, trans-gender, intersexed or any other orientation that a person was born with. "Let whosoever will, come......" (John 3:15-17; Rev. 22:17)
- These scriptures are the foundation of what we believe and have built our faith upon. However, no matter what stage you are at in your spiritual journey, or you may be questioning these verses, come worship with us and let the Holy Spirit lead you and give you revelation to the scripture.
You are Welcome here!
About Our Church
East Street Apostolic Church was formed in 2011 out of the need for an Affirming, Apostolic Church in the Indianapolis community. We purchased our current church facility in 2014 and are excited about what God is doing through our ministry in this location. East Street strives to be a place that welcomes and affirms all people, regardless of a person's age, race, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social or economic position, education, health status, ability or disability, nor your upbringing, faith / church experience.
We welcome those who are seasoned in faith, new to the faith, in-between or searching for what God has for them. East Street Apostolic Church is a congregation that crosses every one of these areas in people's lives. Our goal as a congregation is to be a place of connectivity - where you can become connected to God and connected to a loving and supportive community of faith.
East Street Apostolic Church is definitely not your ordinary church! Every time we meet together God does extraordinary things. Nothing about our services is boring or monotonous. It isn’t uncommon for people to experience miracles of healing, deliverance, restoration and renewal. East Street Apostolic is a church that is led by the Spirit of God and not by programs and religious traditions. From our liberating worship that frees people to move into the presence of God to our engaging, relevant preaching that transforms lives – East Street Apostolic Church is truly an exceptional place.
At East Street Apostolic, we have many opportunities for you to become involved. God has a calling and purpose for each of us. We are all saved to serve. We are passionate about serving God and our local church, our community and the world. We are committed to equipping and empowering believers for whatever ministry God has called them to do. East Street Apostolic provides many opportunities for everyone to get involved and do something that is bigger than ourselves.
It's one thing to read about us on a website. It's another to experience us in person. Come by this Sunday or Wednesday and see what God has in store for you!
