CKPres affirms the essential, historic tenets of the Christian faith that have been the foundation of our discipleship and that of the Church from the earliest times. These include:
- The sovereignty of God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit over all things in heaven and on earth.
- The deity of Christ, God’s only begotten Son, who through His death and resurrection God reveals to the world that he is the Savior and Redeemer.
- The sinfulness of all humanity and resultant brokenness of the natural world, including nature and all human systems.
- The authority of Scripture for all faith, practice, which may not address all activities in particular but which provides principles, examples, exhortations, and most of all the character of God and the life and Christ against which life may be evaluated, emulated and eventually judged.
- The Great Commission, given by Jesus in Matthew 28:16-20, which provides the Church with its essential mission, which is to make disciples, that is faithful followers of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, of all peoples in every nation as well as the Church itself.
A bit more about what we believe…
This is far more than simply being a better person or avoiding certain sins. It’s an invitation to be transformed from the inside out by coming to know ourselves as God’s beloved, made in God’s image and created to reflect God’s beauty in our personal lives, in our relationships with others, in the healing of our brokenness and woundedness, in the fellowship of the Church and in fulfilling Christ’s mission in the world.
We become free from judging ourselves by our success and failures, what we think we are and know we’re not. We become free from the opinion of others or the whips of what society says we should be. We begin to find our true selves and learn to love ourselves as Christ loves
