CCS Statement of Faith

We believe:

• in one sovereign and eternal God, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:4–6, John 15:26–27).
• God created man in His own image, as male and female (Genesis 1:27).
• all of humanity is created equally in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).
• we were separated from God as a result of choosing sin, and those who believe have been restored by God’s love through faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ (Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12–19).
• in the virgin birth and the deity of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, truly human and truly divine (Matthew 1:23, Colossians 2:9–10).
• salvation has been provided for all people through the loving and sacrificial act of Christ’s death and resurrection, resulting in eternal life for all who believe, repent, and place their faith in God (Ephesians 2:8, John 3:16).
• in the spiritual unity of all believers, each of whom is an integral part of the church—the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12–14, Ephesians 4:3).
• all believers are responsible to fulfill the Great Commission and make disciples of all people (Matthew 28:19–20, Acts 1:8).
• the Bible is the inspired Word of God—revealed to the world—and contains His plan of salvation and redemption for all of creation (2 Timothy 3:16–17, John 1:14).
• in the Second Coming of Christ and the fullness of salvation for eternity (Hebrews 9:28, Acts 1:11).
