WELCOME TO CHRIST CHURCH FAMILY!
We are a non-denominational, Full Gospel, and Bible believing Church endeavoring to be and to develop disciples for the Lord Jesus Christ. We do this by meeting regularly and being challenged by the Word of the Lord as it is ministered through the various ministries and members of the church.
We are children and family friendly. There are nursery facilities available. Special classes are held for children 6-12 on the second and fourth Sundays of the month. Traditionally all age groups worship together on Communion and Missions Sunday. Our fifth Sunday is usually celebrated with a brunch, classes, and worship. We seek to have a well-rounded balance of age and ethnic groups. We are all one in Christ. Our music is both traditional and contemporary.
The pastor, elders, and deacons make themselves available to you if you have any questions. We trust you will feel welcome and have a meaningful worship experience with us. “Let us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”
Statement Of Faith
WE BELIEVE
The Bible to be the inspired, infallible Word of God. It is the only God-given authority upon which all church doctrine is to be based.
WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO TEACH:
There is one everlasting eternal God who is infinite in power and holy in all His attributes. He is, in essence, a spirit.
This one God revealed Himself as Father in the work of creation, Son in the work of redemption, and Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the visible image of the invisible God. In His incarnation He was both human and divine. He was also known as the Son of man.
The work of Jesus Christ upon the earth fulfilled the Old Testament law, and wrought salvation through His death, burial and resurrection.
Believers are to initially follow Christ by way of repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, and receiving the Holy Spirit. They are to continue to follow Him by a walk of faith.
Living by faith in Christ Jesus allows us to be the recipients of Divine grace (favor). Faith in the blood of Christ is our only basis of forgiveness. Faith in and confession of the name of Jesus provides authority against the powers of darkness and power to serve as ministers of the Spirit.
The fullness of the Holy Spirit is given initially with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. Believers are to seek to be used in the various gifts of the Spirit for the edifying of the church.
There is a resurrection of the saved and of the unsaved. The saved will be resurrected to everlasting life, and the unsaved will be eternally damned.
Christians are to endeavor to be holy in their spirit and body. They are to be modest in all aspects of their lifestyle.
The church is the body of Christ with a mission to preach the Gospel to every creature. It is to be overseen by pastors and/or elders that have been duly chosen to be leaders. Its growth is dependent upon the function of every member and the blessing of God.
Taking our example from the Biblical account of creation, we believe that marriage is to be defined as a civil/spiritual union, between one man and one woman dissolvable by death. We hereby do not recognize or support polygamy, bigamy, and homosexual unions.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
AS THE ELECT OF GOD WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BLESSED AND UNIQUE POSITION AND PURPOSE IN CHRIST JESUS. BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY BY ONE SPIRIT WE ARE POSITIONED AND KNIT TOGETHER ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. WE ARE MEMBERS OF CHRIST AND OF ONE ANOTHER. WE WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE BODY OF OUR LORD. WHEN ONE MEMBER SUFFERS, WE ALL SUFFER. WHEN ONE MEMBER IS HONORED, WE REJOICE WITH THEM. WE SHOW OUR CONCERN FOR ONE ANOTHER BY OUR LOVE, PRAYERS, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND THE GIVING OF OUR TIME AND FINANCES.
TOGETHER WE SHOW FORTH THE PRAISES OF GOD. WE ARE THE EXPRESSION OF CHRIST TO THE WORLD. WE ARE THE SALT AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD. WE ARE THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST TO BELIEVERS AND NONBELIEVERS. WE ARE CHALLENGED TO DO OUR UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH BY CHRIST JESUS TO ALL GENERATIONS FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN!
