"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

What We Believe

We believe that the Church is not a place or an institution; it is people who have been created in God’s image and likeness.  The Church of Jesus Christ comprises people from every tribe and tongue, traveling this journey called life, and living as passionate followers of Jesus.  In His grace, God calls and equips us as the Body of Christ to share His unconditional love with others.

LOVE | CONNECT | SERVE

Love God: Being Transformed by Christ
Life with Jesus is a journey of grace.  We love God because He first loved us, and gave His Son for us, so that we could have a dynamic, saving relationship with Him.  We need God’s transforming grace in our lives as we pursue Christlikeness in our thoughts, words and actions.

Connect with Others: Helping Each Other Grow in Christ
We were created for relationship and God’s holy people live out their calling in community, not just individually.  As we share life and faith with one another, it enriches our lives and generates a beautiful sense of God-given purpose for all of us.

Serve the World: Sharing Christ Globally and Locally.
Jesus walked the earth as the Incarnate Word of God, and He came to serve rather than be served.  The same Spirit that raised Christ on the third day now falls upon us as the people of God, leading and equipping us for Kingdom impact.  Jesus served others in the power of the Spirit, and He wants us to do the same.  Whether here in Redding, or on the other side of the world, we want to be faithful and fruitful as we pray for God’s kingdom to come “on earth as it is in heaven”.

OUR ARTICLES OF FAITH

We believe in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
