Denominational theology and practice:
3:16 CCC Statement of Faith
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final Authority for faith and life.
We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born with a sinful nature.
We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.
We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead.
We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be receive by faith alone through God’s grace alone. The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it.
We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of believers on a mission to enlarge God’s kingdom. The local church is autonomous, free of any external authority of control.
We believe that believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church.
“Church isn’t where you meet. Church isn’t a building.
Church is what you do. Church is who you are.
Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ.
Let’s not go to Church, let’s be the Church.”
-Author Bridget Miller
“For where two or three are gathered in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.”
-Matthew 18:20
*Statements excerpted from “What is an Anabaptist Christian” by Palmer Becker,
published in MissioDei,volume 18, by the Mennonite Mission Network, Copyright 2008 (Revised edition, 2010).
GIVE
Our God is a God of abundance and He loves to give. He sacrificed willingly on the cross and then invited us into fullness of life. As His children, we are called to imitate Him. Our generosity in giving is a demonstration of God’s character and a response to what He has done for us.
