What We Believe

At Church of the City, we believe in God as defined by the Holy Bible.  Continue reading below for more on our beliefs.

Scriptures

We believe the Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

The Trinity

We believe there is only One True God, revealed in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Divine Healing

We believe in divine healing of the sick which is provided for in Christ’s atonement.

Salvation

We believe every person can accept Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness for sin by giving their life to Him for His divine purposes. We believe in sanctification. Sanctification occurs at salvation and is a lifelong process of separating from evil as followers of Jesus and daily drawing us closer to God to become more like Him.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers believers for witnessing and service, just like it did in the New Testament. We believe that every Christian can be baptized in the Holy Spirit and is given special gifts that help both the Body of Christ and the lost. The Holy Spirit is the power behind our Christian walk.

Baptism in Water and Communion

We believe and practice two ordinances: 

  1. Water baptism by immersion after the Salvation experience. 

  2. Communion as a remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for us.

Vision

Our Vision is birthed directly from Isaiah 58:11-14 (MSG Version). To create a church that people love and feel loved so they can connect to the kind of life that only Jesus can bring! We exist to impact lives, build faith, restore the city, and raise up leaders. Our heart is to build a thriving local church that not only teaches the truth or the Word of God but mobilizes individuals and families to live out that truth in their everyday lives and make an impact wherever they are. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus never changes but the methods do. It says in Psalms that, “Those who are planted in the courts of God, will flourish.” Our goal is to create a fun, loving, faith-filled and power-filled church that will help people to flourish and become all that God has designed them to be.
