What We Believe
"I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect"
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God.
Every man, woman and child approaching the doors of Christ Church enter with one of two spiritual needs: to be transformed out of darkness into light or to be transformed from their present light into greater light. Christ Church is committed to being deployed by the Holy Spirit as His agents of transformation for all whom He escorts into our commonwealth.
The vision that God's Spirit has placed upon our hearts is to communicate His gospel by way of all God-honoring verbal, visual, relational, lifestyle, print and electronic approaches known to man. We will refuse to be limited by man's vision, always praying to capture the mind and resources of Christ. God's vision for Christ Church is for her to be the equipper of Christ's bride throughout the world. God has gifted us with a burden to assist all God's people in the proclamation of the excellencies of Him who has called His sons and daughters out of darkness into His marvelous light
( I Peter 2:9).
Jesus said, "I will build My church;
and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it"
At the church's inception, Jesus alerted us to His church being the focal point for conflict. We should anticipate and prepare for the battle. Christ Church is committed to assaulting this world's culture with Christ's Gospel.
The church is the Scripturally anointed earthly ambassador for evangelism and edification
( Ephesians 3:10).
The church is charged with the teaching of orthodoxy and the practice of righteous living. This we must do because Jesus gave Himself up for the church
( Ephesians 5:25).
Christ Church will welcome unbelievers while guarding against their becoming members until they evidence being regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
The whole counsel of God shall be taught
( Acts 20:27).
The Lord's Supper and baptism will serve as visible sermons of Scripture's verities.
The pastors' responsibility is to equip the saints for the work of service
( Ephesians 4:12).
OUR WORSHIP SERVICE is a worship of God, not man. Therefore, the Order of Worship is purposed to bring glory to God, NOT man. The saints' participation in the worship service is designed for all praise to go to God, not to preachers, musicians, artists, missionaries, church leaders, children, etc. Decorum concerning dress, instrumentation and presentations will assist in disallowing performances and enhance our awareness of God's admonition: "Let all things be done properly and in an orderly manner." We rely upon the Holy Spirit to assist us in establishing an environment that encourages and advances your entry into the transforming presence of the living Lord Jesus Christ.
