WHY WE EXIST.
We exist to plant life-giving churches in North Orange Co.
Discovering God.
We believe that when people learn more about God they are led to love Him deeply. Nothing else changes the hearts, heads, and hands of people quite like this does. This is the difference between religion and Christianity!
Developing People.
Jesus wants everyone to follow Him. He constantly invited people to do so, and it was simply an invitation. We are committed to the task of leading people into taking their next step towards Jesus, whatever that may be.
Declaring Christ
We are ordinary people who have found ourselves changed by an extraordinary God. We want as many people to know about Jesus as possible so they can experience the life giving change that only Jesus can bring.
WHAT WE BELIEVE.
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God and that it is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21
We believe that God is a Person, eternally existing, as a Trinity in unity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit – three Persons, yet one God. Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 26:19; I Corinthians 8:6; I John 5:7
We believe that Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God, who became a sinless man in order to redeem us. He was born of a virgin, and is true God and true man. Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1-15; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 1:15
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity. He is equal in essence to both God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit is a person, He has intellect, emotion, and will. John 16:13, Acts 2:4, 5:9, 8:29
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death, but also spiritual death or eternal separation from God. Now all of mankind exists as a fallen race, with an inherited sinful nature. Genesis 1:26-27; 2:16, 3:16-19; Romans 3:10-23; 6:23
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitutionary payment for the sins of the whole world. He physically arose from the dead and then ascended into Heaven. Simple faith in this sacrifice is the only way of salvation for mankind. Luke 24; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 5:8-9; I Peter 3:18
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible format of repentance toward God (turning away from all other means of salvation and toward Christ and His blood atonement) and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. John 6:37-40; Romans 8:1; I Corinthians 1:4-8
We believe, based on the Bible, that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. John 6:37-40; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Corinthians 1:4-5; I Peter 1:4-5
