What we make room for
Our Statement of Faith
At The Room Syracuse, we stand on the historic Christian faith and the authority of Scripture. We hold to beliefs that have shaped the Church for centuries and continue to guide us in following Jesus today.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. It reveals who God is, how He works, and how we’re called to live.
God
We believe in one God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of all things.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is the Son of God—fully God and fully human. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will return again. Jesus is our Savior, Redeemer, and King.
Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus. We are forgiven, restored, and made new—not by our effort, but by His finished work.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit lives within every believer, empowering us to follow Jesus, grow in holiness, receive spiritual gifts, and live transformed lives.
The Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ—called to worship, to grow, to serve, and to carry the hope of Jesus to the world. Every believer has a place and a purpose in God’s family.
Baptism & Communion
We practice water baptism as a public declaration of faith in Jesus and receive Communion as a remembrance of His sacrifice.
Healing & Wholeness
We believe God still heals and restores—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. We pray with expectation and trust God’s care for every person.
Marriage & Identity
We believe God created every person in His image with dignity, purpose, and worth. We affirm God’s design for life, identity, and marriage as taught in scripture.
The Resurrection & Eternity
We believe Jesus will return and make all things new. Those who trust in Him will experience eternal life with God.
Our Values
Discipleship
We make room for people to grow in their faith by offering pathways to discipleship.
Sacraments
We are participants in the Lord’s Table and water baptism in regular rhythms.
A Reflection of Heaven on Earth
We make room for people of all cultures and nationalities. We believe that the church should be a reflection of heaven on earth.
Connection
We make room for people to build relationships. We prioritize connection in our weekly gathering and through our groups.
Sunday’s are for Syracuse
We believe that God loves Syracuse. We believe that Sunday’s are the best way for Syracuse to find God. This is why we say “Sunday’s are for Syracuse".
Live Generous
We make room for God to use our finances in a way that build his kingdom here on earth.
