WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe the Bible is God's authoritative word and is without error.
(2 Timothy 3:16, Galatians 1:12)

We believe the God of the universe is One God, three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19, Genesis 1:26)

No person is righteous, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. 
(Romans 3:10, 3:23)

While we were still in our sin, the Father sent His Son, Jesus as a sacrifice for our sin.  Jesus rose again, conquering death. 
(Romans 5:8)

When we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead we are saved.
(Romans 10:9)

When the Father looks upon His children, He sees the very righteousness of His Son, Jesus.  This is good news.

(Philippians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 5:21)

Jesus is fully God, fully man.
(Hebrews 1:8-10, 2:17)

God's Holy Spirit comes upon those who believe.

(Ephesians 1:13)

We are justified by the cross of Christ and not by our works, however our works can reveal much about our faith in God.

(Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:28)

• Church is not a place but a people, a people put on this earth to bring honor and glory to God's name.

• City Life church is not more important than the church down the road or across the globe.  

• True religion means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world. (James 1:27)

• The church is called to care for the weak, broken and helpless.  Where we have not done so we have failed.

• Jesus will return the same way he left, although this time he will come to judge the living and the dead and restore the new heaven and earth.
  (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19-21)

Hot Topics:

• We do our best not to judge certain sins over others, yet we believe the Church should hold each other accountable for unrepentant sin.

• We have people on all sides of the political spectrum so we do our best to stay out of it.

• We absolutely accept those who have been divorced, however we will not condone divorce except in severe cases as outlined in scripture.

• We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to the Church today but need to be used decently and in order.

• We believe Jesus is the only way. 

We should probably put more on our beliefs, however, wiser people have articulated it well here.
