Statement of Faith

Everyone who serves at Christ Fellowship must agree with and abide by Christ Fellowships Statement of
Faith. Please read and sign below to indicate agreement.

WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the complete, divinely inspired, infallible Word of God. The Bible is
the supreme authority and guide for our Christian faith and living.

WE BELIEVE

THE GODHEAD
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE
THE FATHER
The first person of the Godhead orders and directs all things according to His own purpose and pleasure. He authored,
created, and sustains all things in the universe without any means other than His own pure power. By His grace, He
involves Himself in the affairs of man, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all that come to Him
through Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

He existed eternally as the second person of the Godhead. By His virgin birth, He came to earth as fully God and fully
man, living a sinless life. His death on the cross made atonement for man's sin, evidenced by His bodily resurrection
from the dead. He physically ascended to the right hand of God the Father, and He will return in power and glory.

WE BELIEVE
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The third person of the Godhead convicts man of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, instructs, and sets apart
believers unto a holy life. We encourage all believers to seek a life of obedience to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We
believe this step is essential for empowering believers for victorious living and ministry through the gifts given by the
Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE

THE NATURE OF MAN

Man was directly created in God's image and voluntarily fell into sin by personal disobedience to the will of God;
consequently, all men are spiritually dead apart from Jesus Christ. The fall of man was a once-for-all historical fact. Its
effect spread to all men, each of whom is born with a sinful nature and is in need of salvation.

WE BELIEVE
SALVATION
Salvation is by grace, a gift from God apart from works. Salvation requires repentance; a turning from one's own way
to God's way. Jesus Christ and all who receive Him are born-again, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and become
children of God. We will manifest true salvation by a changed life.

WE BELIEVE

THE CHURCH
The church is the body of believers consisting of all born-again persons without respect to race, culture, or
background. Directed by Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Church is taking the good news of
salvation to the whole world.
Our Fellowship is inclusive rather than exclusive and stresses love for God and one another, the unity of all believers,
and obedience to the Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE
ETERNAL LIFE
We believe Jesus is preparing a place for us and that He will literally come back again. We believe heaven and hell are
real places. We believe those in Christ will live with Him forever and those who reject Christ as Savior will be separated
from Him forever.
