What We Believe

  • We believe in one sovereign God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7-8).

  • We believe that all human life, from conception to natural death, is created in the image of God, and that we are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. We also believe that the Scriptures require us to treat every person with compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity as is worthy of God’s image-bearers and instructs us to reject unloving behavior directed toward any individual (Psalm 139:13-16; John 13:34; 1 John 4:7-12).

  • We believe that God has wonderfully and unchangeably created each person as either male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes/genders together reflect the image and nature of God Himself (Genesis 1:26-27).

  • We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. We also believe that when God created humanity, He ordained the marriage covenant to be a unique bond between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:18-25; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Hebrews 13:4). Furthermore, we believe children are a wonderful gift and heritage from the Lord. Parents are ultimately responsible for teaching their children spiritual and moral values through consistent lifestyle examples and appropriate training and discipline (Gen. 1:26-28; Ex. 20:12; Deut. 6:4-9; Ps.127:3-5; Prov. 19:18, 22:15, 23:13-14; Mk. 10:6-12; 1 Cor. 7:1-16; Eph.5:21-33, 6:1-4; Col. 3:18-21; 1 Pet. 3:1-7).

  • We believe that the Lord graciously offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness by grace, through faith, in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-13; John 3:16-19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8-9). 

  • We believe in one church, the body of Christ, a universal community of believers who make up the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 2:19; Ephesians 4:4-6, 15-16).

  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel to others and calls us to a life of self-denying love and service for the building of His Kingdom (Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 4:10).

Statement of Faith 

Community Christian holds that the Bible, consisting of sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, and is entirely infallible and authoritative on all matters on which it speaks (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21). This is our sure foundation, and upon it:
