WE BELIEVE
| 1. |
The Scriptures, both Old and New
Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for
the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life. |
| 2. |
In one God, Creator of all things,
infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. |
| 3. |
That Jesus Christ is true God
and true man having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our
sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where at the right hand of
the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate. |
| 4. |
That the ministry of the Holy
Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ; and during this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell,
guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. |
| 5. |
That man was created in the image
of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life
be obtained. |
| 6. |
That the shed blood of Jesus Christ
and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe. Only those who receive Jesus
Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God. |
| 7. |
That water baptism and the Lord's
Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means
of salvation. |
| 8. |
That the true Church is composed
of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the
body of Christ of which He is the head. |
| 9. |
That only those who are members
of the true Church are eligible for membership in the local church. |
| 10. |
That Jesus Christ is the Lord
and head of the Church and that every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs. |
| 11. |
In the personal, premillennial,
and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. That this "Blessed Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service
of the believer. |
| 12. |
In the bodily resurrection of
the dead. Of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting
conscious punishment. |
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Christ Community Church is to make more and better disciples of Jesus
Christ locally and around the world. We will do this by worshipping God, caring for one another, equipping
people for ministry, reaching out to those who do not know Christ as Savior, and serving our community (Matt.
28: 19-20). |
