OUR
VISION
Christ's Community Church is eager to make a difference in our community by reaching out to the lost and poor by ministering and preaching to them the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Currently, CCC holds worship service on Sundays at 10 AM. Every first Sunday of the month we celebrate birthdays with worship service and fellowship afterwards.
CCC has a vision to begin Wednesday night Bible Study, Children's Church & Nursery, Music & Choir, Vacation Bible School, soul-winning times, and any other ministry the Lord wills for His church!
Our
Beliefs
The Word of God / Sword of the Spirit
The Word of God is an inspired book from God to man (II Tim.3:16). The Bible was penned by godly men that were moved and directed by Holy Spirit (II Pt.1:21 / Heb.4:12). It is God's only revealed truth, our final authority, and the outline for faith and practice (II Tim.3:16-17 / Jn.17:17 / Mt.4:4). For the unity of the church and the inerrancy of Scripture, the Authorized Version of 1611 and later named the King James Bible is what we joyfully use.
SALVATION
God's salvation is offered by grace through faith alone without any works attached to it (Eph.2:8-9 / Titus 3:5). His means of salvation was the giving of Jesus Christ to pay the wages of sin, death, for mankind (John 3:16 / Acts 4:12 / Jn.14:6).
The method of salvation is the belief of faith in Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection for our sins (I Cor.15:1-4 / Rom.10:9-10 / I Jn.2:23).
BAPTISM
Baptism is the first step of obedience after salvation. Baptism is a public picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
It pictures a believers acceptance of Christ's message and also the death of their unsaved life, born again in the Spirit!
GOD / The TRINITY
Although the word trinity is not found in the Scriptures, the truth of it is taught all through the Bible.
God is One God, but manifested in three personalities. The three parts of the trinity are: God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Mt.3:16-17 / Col.2:9 / Is.9:6 / Jn.10:20).
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of mankind. He is eternally God and possess all the attributes of Deity. The Lord Jesus Christ was virgin-born, He was God incarnate, and His purposes included revealing God, redeeming mankind, and ruling the future kingdom. He lived a sinless life and was offered for all mankind as a substitutionary sacrifice for man's sin. We believe He ascended into Heaven after His resurrection to be seated at the right hand of the Father and will soon, according to His perfect and pleasing will, be coming back to get the church. (Psalm 2:7-9; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 43:11; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1; Romans 3:19-25; Romans 5:6-15; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:10-15; Hebrews 7:26, 9:24-28; 1 Peter 1:19, 2:2; 1 John 1:3)
The HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit of God is a person and holds all the attributes of Deity. We believe that He has always been involved in the affairs of man. We also believe He has a special ministry that began at Pentecost and will continue until the rapture. This ministry includes reproving the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit was sent to regenerate, sanctify, seal, fill, and comfort all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:2; John 3:5-6; John 14:16; Acts 1:5; Acts 11:15; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 Corinthians 12:13)
SIN
We believe all men were born with a sin nature received from our common ancestor, Adam. We believe that because of his nature, man is a sinner by choice, and he is totally incapable of reforming himself or ceasing from his sin by his own power. The only hope of deliverance for man is a total change of mind concerning his sinful condition and inability to change it, and a turning to Jesus Christ as the only Saviour. The penalty for sin is death and the judgment of God. All those who reject Jesus Christ as their Saviour are already condemned to an eternity in the lake of fire. (Genesis 3; Genesis 5:1-5; Acts 4:19; Acts 16:31; Romans 3:10-23; Romans 5:6-12; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-6; Revelation 20:11-14).
THE CHURCH
We believe that the church began with the calling out of the twelve apostles by Jesus Christ and was empowered on the day of Pentecost. The local church is composed of members who have been saved and baptized according to the command of Christ, and have voluntarily united together for the purposes of worship, fellowship, service, and observance of the ordinances of baptism and communion. We believe that all true believers will be taken up at the rapture. (Matthew 16:16-18; Acts 1:15; Acts 2:41-43; Acts 11:15; Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 15: 51-58; Ephesians 1:12-14; Ephesians 5:25-30; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Timothy 3:4-15)
CREATION
God created the universe in six literal, 24-hour periods. We reject evolution, the gap theory, the day-age theory, theistic evolution, and intelligent design not attributed to God as unscriptural theories of origin. (Genesis 1-2; Exodus 20:11; Psalm 14:1; Colossians 1:16-20; John 1:3)
The Great Commission
We believe that God has given the church a great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. We believe in evangelizing our local community while sending out others around the world to share the message of the Gospel. (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:20)
TITHES & OFFERING
We believe that every Christian, as a steward of what God has entrusted to him, is obligated to support his local church financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving, but that every Christian should also give other offerings cheerfully to support the church, to help those in need, and to spread the Gospel. (Genesis 14:20; Proverbs 3:9-10; Acts 4:34-37; 1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7; Galatians 6:6; Ephesians 4:28; 1 Timothy 5:17-18; 1 John 3:17)
