Christ Foundation Church

We are a Christ-centric, Bible-believing, Bible teaching, non-denominational Christian church. As implied by our name, Christ is the solid foundation on which our faith is built; “all other ground is sinking sand.” You will find our congregation to be family friendly, sincerely fervent in worship and praise to God, striving to be obedient to His Word, committed to service to our fellow man, and filled with the love of Jesus for one another. If you desire to worship in a setting where you can feel that you belong and that you are loved by the Lord and by his people, this is a standing invitation for you to associate with our church family. Our Lord has a purpose for you, He's given you special gifts, and we, would love to witness you growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, along with us! What We Believe Christ Foundation Church Summary Statement of Faith In all matters of faith and morals, the authority of the Holy Scriptures stands supreme. The Holy Scriptures We believe that the Bible is God’s special written revelation to man, and thus the 66 books of the Bible given to us by the Holy Spirit constitute the inspired Word of God The True God We believe that there is only one true God, holy and living, who is Creator and Preserver of all things visible and invisible. He is Sovereign and infinite in power, wisdom, justice, goodness and love. We believe the one Eternal God reveals Himself in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinct but inseparable without division of nature, essence, or being Man, Sin and the Fall We believe that man was directly and immediately created by God in His image and likeness. Man was created free of sin with a rational nature and volition. We believe that in man’s sin of disobedience to the Word of God, he lost his innocence, incurred the penalty of spiritual and physical death. We believe that, because all men were in Adam at the time of his sin, all men are thus sinners by nature, by choice, and by divine declaration and are thereby condemned by God’s perfect justice. Man is hopelessly lost, and his salvation is wholly of God’s grace through the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation We believe that salvation from God’s condign justice is wholly of God by grace based on the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, and not based on human merit or works. The Church Body of Christ: We believe that all who are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ are immediately placed by the Holy Spirit into one universal spiritual Body, The Church, of which Christ is the Head. We believe that the church is made up of all born-again believers of all ages. The church is distinct from Israel. Local Church: We believe that the establishment and continuity of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. We believe in the autonomy of the local church, free from any external authority or control, with the right of self-government. Ordinances: We believe that two ordinances have been committed to the local church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian Baptism by immersion is the solemn testimony of a believer showing forth faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior and union with Him in death to sin and resurrection to a new life. It is also a sign of fellowship and identification with the visible Body of Christ. We believe that the Lord’s Supper is the commemoration and proclamation of Christ’s death until He comes, and should be always preceded by solemn self-examination. We also believe that, while the elements of Communion are only representative of the body and blood of Christ, participation in the Lord’s Supper is an actual communion with the risen Christ, who indwells every believer. The Sabbath We believe that the Biblical Sabbath is the seventh day of the week (Saturday). It was first observed by the Creator himself, given as a gift from God to all mankind, instituted at creation, placed by God in the Ten Commandments and affirmed in the obedient examples of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. We do not observe the Sabbath for any hope of salvific merit but for the same reason we observe the other nine commandments, in loving celebration, praise and worship to God in response to His glorious grace that He has freely given us in Christ Jesus. Last Things Death. We believe that at physical death the soul of the redeemed passes immediately into the presence of Christ, that there is a separation of soul and body, and that, for the redeemed, such separation will continue until Christ comes, which initiates the first resurrection, when our soul and body will be reunited to be glorified forever with our Lord. Until that time, the souls of the redeemed in Christ remain in joyful fellowship with our Lord, Jesus Christ. We believe that the souls of the unsaved at death are kept under punishment until the second resurrection when the soul and the resurrection body will be united. They shall then appear at the Great White Throne Judgment and shall be cast into hell, the lake of fire, cut off from the life of God forever. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment. Eternity. We believe that the saved will enter the eternal state of glory with God, after which the elements of this earth are to be dissolved and replaced with a new earth, wherein only righteousness dwells. Following this, the heavenly city will come down out of heaven and will be the dwelling place of the saints, where they will enjoy forever fellowship with God and one another.
