OUR MISSION

MAKE disciples - BETTER disciples - MORE disciples

At Christ’s Church, our mission of discipleship comes straight from Jesus. In Matthew 28, Jesus’ last words to His followers include, “Go and make DISCIPLES...” We believe in discipleship because Jesus believes in discipleship. We are a diverse, imperfect group of people that: love Jesus, teach His Word and worship Him with passion. We can’t wait to come alongside you in your discipleship journey here at Christ’s Church! A great place to begin is STARTING POINT.

OUR BELIEFS

Christ’s Church has deep Biblical convictions that guide every decision we make. These essential beliefs, founded in scripture, define who we are and how we lead the church. Intended to unify us as a body of believers, we hold tight to these truths but provide liberty in other issues, maintaining Jesus’ intention for the church to be united as one. Simply put, we do Bible things in Bible ways.

+ GOD

We believe there is one God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things. (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1; Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

+ JESUS CHRIST

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, who as Savior of the world died for our sins and rose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

+ THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world regarding sin, righteousness and judgment and who at the point of salvation, indwells every believer and equips them for personal growth and service to the Church. (John 16:8-9; Acts 2:38; Ephesians 1:13-14)

+ THE BIBLE

We believe the Bible is the inspired, written Word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:14-16)

+ SIN

We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned and as a result, is lost and without hope, apart from the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:23, 6:23; Acts 4:12)

+ SALVATION

We believe that salvation—the forgiveness of sins—is available only by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. This free gift of salvation is offered to all who receive Christ as Lord and Savior. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Colossians 2:6; John 3:16)

We believe the Bible clearly teaches the path to receive Christ is to believe in Jesus, as God’s Son and Savior of the world, repent of personal sin, confess Christ publicly and be baptized. (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:36-38; Mark 16:16)

+ BAPTISM

We believe that full immersion under water is the prescribed mode of baptism, as indicated by Jesus’ own example, command and the translation of the original Greek word “baptizo”, which means to immerse, dip, or dunk. (Mark 1:9-10; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4)

+ THE CHURCH

We believe that the Church is the body and bride of Christ, founded on earth and confirmed on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere. (Matthew 16:13-18) (Acts 2:14-47)

+ ETERNAL DESTINY

We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. When Christ returns, He will pronounce the eternal fate of each individual, both living and dead – the saved to eternal life in Heaven, the unsaved to eternal separation from God in Hell. (John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:14)
