OUR BELIEF MAKES US DIFFERENT
Community Church has 16 articles of faith. These statements are available in their completeness upon request. Here is a summary of these 16 statements:
1. We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who reveals himself as Father, Son, and Spirit.
2. We believe in Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully human at the same time, who became like us to bring about our salvation.
3. We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is active in the world, bringing us salvation.
4. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, giving us all we need to know about how to saved.
5. We believe that we are all sinners by both nature and act and need God’s forgiveness and cleansing.
6. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross and that by trusting in His death we can be restored to a right relation to God.
7. We believe that God has enabled us to turn to Him from sin, but that He has not forced us to do so.
8. We believe that individually we must repent, turn away from our sins, and trust Christ to accept us.
9. We believe that when turn from sin and trust in Christ, the old record of sin is wiped clean and we are born anew, thus becoming part of the family of
God.
10. We believe that after being born anew, we need the fullness of God’s Spirit in our hearts. When we make a complete commitment to Him, He cleanses
our spirit, fills us with His perfect love, and gives us the power to live victoriously.
11. We believe in the Church, the community that confesses Jesus Christ as Lord.
12. We believe in baptism and urge people to be baptized as Christians.
13. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again.
14. We believe in the Lord’s Supper.
15. We believe God can heal. We pray for healing. We also believe that God can work through medical science.
16. We believe that everyone shall face the judgment of God with its rewards and punishments.
A statement of belief has little value without the action of faith.
To believe is to acknowledge something as true. Faith is action based on that truth.
The action of faith is simply to trust God with complete obedience.
