OUR BELIEFS

Statement of Faith

Although Come Alive Family Church culture is modern, our theology is traditional. We believe every weekend is a rescue mission to reach people who are far from God. It’s essential to start by explaining what we believe because it is the foundation of everything we do.

The Bible is God’s Word to all people. Human authors wrote it under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because God inspired it, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.

God exists in a relationship with Himself for all eternity. He is one God in three persons: God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.

God is great: He is all-powerful, ever-present, unchanging, completely trustworthy of our trust, and above all, holy. It is in Him that we live, move, and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.

Jesus Christ is simultaneously completely human and completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.

The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ. We believe in being filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Every believer can be filled with the Holy Spirit by simply asking.

Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. to be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence

Healing is a privilege for every believer. God wants us to live healthy and whole lives for Him and help others more effectively.

Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

God instituted marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society. (Genesis 2:24). God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged other than the context of marriage between a man and a woman. (Genesis 19:5, 26:8-11; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; 1Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4: 1-8; Hebrews 13:4).

The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way to salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the birth and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

Baptism is a symbolic act of professing one’s salvation publicly. God commands it, but our salvation does not rely upon it. We practice full-immersion baptism, symbolizing the process of death and resurrection that Jesus went through for us.

Prayer is our ability to communicate with God. Through Jesus’ salvation, we no longer need an intercessor to go between God and us. We can address Him directly.
