Christ is King Community Church - Statement of Faith

The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Scriptures, including both the Old and the New Testaments, to be the verbally inspired Word of God, written by men in God's control, inerrant and infallible in the original manuscripts and the final authority in faith and life (Second Timothy 3:15-17; Second Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 19:7-9)

The Godhead
We believe in One God, eternally existing in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; these three being identical in essence, equal in power and glory, and possessing precisely the same attributes and perfection. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Second Corinthians 13:14)

The Condition of Man
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, in innocence and without sin. But in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became spiritually dead and alienated from God. Man himself is incapable of remedying his lost and depraved condition. (Genesis 1:26; 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-18; 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3)

The Person and Work of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. This redemption He accomplished by voluntarily giving Himself as a sinless substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, thereby satisfying God's righteous judgments against sin. After substantiating the accomplishment of that redemption by His bodily resurrection from the dead, He ascended to the right hand of His Father where He intercedes on behalf of those who trust Him. (John 1:1, 2, 14, 18; Luke 1:34-35; Romans 3:24-26; 8:34)

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person who convicts the world of sin; that He alone brings new life to those who are spiritually dead; that He baptizes (or places) all true believers into one true Church, which is the Body of Christ; that He indwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of redemption, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, and fills (controls) those who are yielded to Him. (John 3:3-8; 16:7-11; First Corinthians 12:13; John 14:16-17; Ephesians 4:30; First Corinthians 12:7-11; Ephesians 5:18)

Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God's grace. It cannot be gained by meritorious works, but is freely bestowed upon all who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. All who so trust the Savior are forgiven of their sins and born into the family of God by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-9; John 1:12)

The Church
We believe that the true Church, called in Scripture the Body of God, is a spiritual organism into which every person who has been united with Jesus Christ for salvation in this present age has been baptized by the Holy Spirit. The Scripture also teaches the establishment and continuance of local churches, groups of redeemed individuals joined together for worship, instruction, fellowship, service, and the Lord's Supper. (Ephesians 1:22; First Corinthians 12:13; Acts 2:42; 13:1-2; First Corinthians 11:23-26)

The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the personal, imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church. We believe that on His subsequent return to earth He will establish His kingdom and the judgment of all creation. He will also establish His eternal reign thereafter in which every knee will bow and every tongue confess Him as Lord. (First Thessalonians 4:13-18; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-6; Philippians 2:9-11)
