Our congregation is deeply committed to Jesus Christ and passionately engaged in Christ’s mission in the world.
Our Affirmations:
The Centrality of the World of God: We believe the Bible is the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct. The dynamic, transforming power of the Word of God directs the church and the life of each Christian. Psalm 33:4-6
The Necessity of New Birth: New birth in Christ means committing ourselves to him and receiving forgiveness, acceptance, and eternal life. It means righteousness, joy, and peace. John 3:16-17
A commitment to the whole mission of the church: We follow Christ’s two central calls. The Great Commission sends us out into the world to make disciples. The Great Commandment calls us to love the Lord our God and our neighbors as ourselves. Matthew: 28:18-20
The Church as a fellowship of believers: Membership in the covenant church is by confession of personal faith in Jesus Christ and is open to all believers. We observe baptism and Holy Communion as sacraments commanded by Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
A conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit: We believe it is the Holy Spirit who instills in our hearts a desire to turn to Christ, and who assures us that Christ dwells within us. It is the Holy Spirit who enables our obedience to Christ and conforms us to his image, and it is the Spirit in us that enables us to continue Christ’s mission in the world. John 14:15-26
The Reality of freedom in Christ: This freedom is a gift from God in Christ, and it manifests itself in a right relationship with God and others. We at Faith Covenant Church seek to focus on what unites us as followers in Christ, rather than on what divides us. Romans 6:22-23
