Core Beliefs
At Ono Church, our vision is to be rooted and growing in Jesus Christ.
Our older roots start with the historic, orthodox Church, including The Apostles Creed and The Nicene Creed. Our more recent roots in Ono trace back to 1850 to a body of believers known as Mt. Nebo Union Church as well as later groups of believers associated with the Evangelical Association, United Brethren in Christ, Evangelical United Brethren, and United Methodists.
We seek to grow individually and together as a body in our following of Jesus.
Our mission is to offer God’s peace and presence as we worship and to transform ourselves into being more Christ-like in all that we say and do.
We value intergenerational worship, the importance of sound teaching, and a commitment to spiritual investment in the lives of children, youth, and people of all ages.
We Believe In
The Trinity
We believe in one God who exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. These three persons are co-equal and co-eternal.
Salvation of Grace Through Faith
We believe that salvation is a gift from God and is not earned through our own efforts. It is received through trust in Jesus Christ as the true and personal Lord and Savior.
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, containing all that is necessary for belief and practice.
The Incarnation
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God, and fully human, who came to Earth to reconcile humanity and all of creation to Himself.
The Atonement
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God, and fully human, who came to Earth to reconcile humanity and all of creation to Himself.
Resurrection & Eternal Life
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and in the promise of eternal life for all who trust in Him.
The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to believers for the benefit of the Church and the advancement of God's kingdom.
The Great Commission
We believe we are commissioned by Jesus to share the message of Christ's love and salvation with the world, making disciples of all nations.
Sanctity of Human Life
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image.
