Cascade's theological position is the typical foundational statement for orthodox Christian churches.

We accept wholeheartedly the revelation of God given in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess the faith therein set forth and summarized in such historic statements of the Christian church as the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed.  We here explicitly assert doctrines that are regarded as crucial to the understanding and proclamation of the gospel and to practice Christian living.

1. The sovereignty and grace of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgment.
2. The divine inspiration of the Holy Scripture and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
3. The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, bringing everyone under God's wrath and condemnation.
4. The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole ground of redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin.
5. The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
6. The illumination, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit in the believer.
7. The unity and common priesthood of all true believers, who together form the one universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the head.
8. The expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Since Cascade is an interdenominational church, it requires the observance of St. Augustine's statement, "In the essentials, unity, in the non-essentials, liberty and in all things, charity."  The above theological position is an essential.
