Let's Agree and Unite
Three Beliefs that Set the Church of God apart from the Rest

We Believe

  • Jesus is who he said he was. He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life! There is no other way to God, but through him. Jesus died to save us from the sin that entered the world through Adam and Eve by Dying on the Cross. With Faith in what Jesus did, we can come into a relationship with Him. 
  • The Father came down from heaven in the form of Jesus as 100% the created human being and died on the Cross. He rose 3 days later to conquer death and sin to show his power over it. Jesus said that it is better for Him to Go so he can send the Holy Spirit to Live in our Mortal body and guide us into all truth with the Power of Grace to Live Holy Transformed lives. 
  • The Bible is infallible and complete, nothing needs to be added or taken away. It is our instruction to Knowing God and how we should live like Jesus.

Our Leaders:

We stand together upon these declarations and affirmations called  by God to shepherd the Lord’s people and by example embrace these godly  standards and behaviors before the world. 

The Church 

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the birthright of all humanity being constantly demonstrated and shared through a liberating faith in the transforming power of God into the realization of the blessed hope of His second coming. (John 5:24) 

The Word of God is our final authority in all things and that our obedience to His  Word by the empowering of the Holy Spirit keeps each child of God holy  in body, soul, and spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) 

Our Defense (Military / Civilian / First Responders)

We affirm that the justice of the Cross of Christ is greater than an “eye for an eye  and tooth for a tooth” and calls for forgiveness and restoration  for all who will receive it. (Matthew 7:12) 

Those who serve to protect our people and land in peace time or war both  military and civilian are worthy of honor and respect for laying down their lives to  preserve the life and freedoms given each of us by our Creator. (Psalms 18:34-36) 

Our Community 

Jesus’ prayer that all disciples be one together in Him is demonstrated in a continual  communion as the Church through the love of God between us, proving our  authenticity as Jesus’ disciples to a world in darkness. (John 13:35) 

The Church through leadership, worship, and acts of service reflect the diversity  of all peoples, cultures, and languages in the earth intentionally  and without diluting the Word of God. (Acts 17:26) 

Of Business 

By the power of His Holy Spirit, we will walk in the integrity of God’s Word  with honesty, modesty, teachability and transparency in handling our financial matters. (1 Timothy 6:10) 

As disciples of Jesus, we must bear witness to the gospel of Christ in all areas of  commerce without allowing wealth to become our master, but as a tool serve the  best interests of God’s people, the world, and our environment. (Matthew 6:24)

The Government 

Above and beyond the traditions of culture and practices of nations, we are citizens of  the Kingdom of God with our allegiance to Jesus Christ our Lord. (Ephesians 2:19-20) 

As the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, we submit to governing authorities  regionally and nationally provided doing so does not violate our ability  to obey God and keep His commandments. (Romans 13:1, Acts 5:29) 

Of Education 

The faith of Abraham as fulfilled in Christ Jesus is the root of the Church and our  educational foundation being an umbrella wherein all peoples – whether they share  faith in Jesus or not - may live freely, securely, and peacefully together. (Romans 4:16) 

Though God's people function throughout this world’s systems, we will not be ensnared or compromised by shallow, vain, or empty philosophies. (1 Timothy 6:20) 

The Media 

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is to influence the global and local conversation  

through all forms of media and the arts to worship, teach, and otherwise exalt God in the earth. (Isaiah 52:7) 

Cutting edge technologies are portals whereby the Lord’s disciples may encourage and promote fresh and creative ways to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost directionless world. (Matthew 24:14)

The Family 

God has given man and woman the covenant of eternal life in Christ and the earthly  union of marriage. We encourage and support each covenant as the basis  of a strong local community of faith. (Hebrews 13:4) 

Marriage is the union of one man and one woman for a lifetime. As the matrix  of all human relationships, godly marriage builds and unites families  in birth and death preserving the sacredness of life. (Proverbs 11:29)
