Christmas Valley Community Church

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

IS CENTRAL TO OUR WORSHIP, PRAISING,PREACHING AND OUR TEACHING. 

WE BELIEVE

1. The Bible is verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit and inerrant in the original manuscripts and is the infallible and authoritative Word of God.
2. The triune Godhead in three Persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. The personality of satan, called the devil, and his present control over unregenerate mankind.
4. The fall and lost estate of man, whose total depravity makes necessary the new birth.
5. The deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His death, His bodily resurrection, His present exaltation at God's right hand and His personal and imminent return.
6. The atonement by the substitutionary death and shed blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
7. The Holy Spirit indwells in each believer and unites them to Christ as one body.
8. The resurrection of the saved unto everlasting life and blessedness in Heaven, and the resurrection of the unsaved unto everlasting punishment in Hell.
9. The Church, the Body or Bride of Christ, consists only of those who are born again, for whom Jesus now makes intercession in Heaven and for whom He shall come again. 
10. Christ's commission to the Church is to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.

ORDINANCES:

A.  Lord's Supper

We believe that the Lord's Supper is the commemoration of His death until He comes and should be preceded always by solemn  self-examination. (1Corinthians 11:23-30)

      B.  Baptism

We believe in Believers' baptism by water to show forth publicly, in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Savior and His effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life. (Matthew 18:19-20; Romans 6:3-5)
