The fundamental teachings of Christ Church are reflected in the following doctrinal statements:

1. We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. We understand the whole Bible is inspired in the sense that holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. We believe the complete inerrancy of the original manuscripts of the whole Bible and that they serve as the only rule of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).
2. We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
3. We believe in the creation, test, and fall of man as recorded in the book of Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain divine righteousness (Romans 5:12, 18).
4. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6).
5. We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25).
6. We believe in the bodily Ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation, and personal, literal, and bodily return the second time for the Church (John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
7. We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11).
8. We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:36-39; 19:1-6).
9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, with the Scriptural evidence; namely, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Ephesians 1:13-14).
10. We believe that God’s design for marriage is a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman. We understand that intimacy is a sacred part of this union, and we hold to the belief that sexual relationships outside of this marriage—whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise—are not in alignment with God’s intended purpose for intimacy.
    
    We approach these beliefs with humility, seeking to honor God’s Word while extending grace, love, and compassion to all, recognizing that we are all called to live out our faith with kindness and understanding. This understanding is rooted in the teachings of Scripture, including Genesis 2:24-25, Exodus 20:14, 17, Leviticus 18:22-23, Leviticus 20:13, 15-16, Matthew 19:4-6, 9, Romans 1:18-31, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 15-20, 1 Timothy 1:8-11, and Jude 7.
11. We believe that God created the human race as male and female, each with distinct and purposeful design. We also believe that seeking to adopt a gender other than one’s biological gender is not in alignment with God’s intended plan for humanity. The Bible encourages us to maintain a clear distinction between male and female as part of honoring God’s creation. While we hold to these beliefs, we recognize the importance of approaching this topic with love, grace, and compassion.
    
    We seek to walk alongside others with understanding and kindness, even as we uphold the teachings of Scripture regarding gender and identity. Our goal is to honor God’s design while fostering an environment of care and respect for all individuals (Genesis 1:27; Deuteronomy 22:5).
12. We believe in God’s redemptive power to bring healing and restoration, and that embracing one’s biological sex as a gift from God is central to His design for each person. We affirm that our identity, as created at conception and manifest at birth, reflects God’s purpose and intention. With compassion and grace, we support individuals in navigating these deeply personal experiences by providing love, guidance, and encouragement, while upholding the belief that living in alignment with God’s design brings wholeness and peace (Genesis 1:27; Romans 1:18-32).
13. We believe that tithing is a scriptural duty for all believers, including ministers, as a biblical path to growing and giving in grace. The tithe, representing one-tenth of our income, supports the ministry of the local church, where we receive care and spiritual nourishment. It is intended for the propagation of the Gospel and the work of the Lord, not other charitable purposes. Tithing is not a legalistic obligation but an opportunity to respond gratefully to God's grace. It provides a biblical, practical, and timely guideline for giving, helping us manage our material goods with the right perspective and encouraging generous sharing with those in need (Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:7–11; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42; 1 Corinthians 9:6–13; 1 Corinthians 16:2).
14. We believe in the operation of the charismatic gifts and ministries as was manifested in the Early Church, along with the fruit of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8-11; Ephesians 4:11; Galatians 5:22-23).
15. We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world, and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith (Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1).
16. We believe in the healing of the body by Divine power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14).
17. We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion, or the Lord's Supper, for believers (1 Corinthians 11:23-32).
18. We believe in eternal life for believers (John 3:16; 5:24) and eternal punishment for unbelievers (Mark 9:43-50; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; Revelation 20:10-15).
19. We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and the eternal judgment of Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10-15).
