Our Beliefs

CCF is a non-denominational church seeking to be faithful to the Scripture while fostering united evangelical witness. Our distinctive beliefs include the following:

Salvation: We believe that all are sinners in need of God`s forgiveness and life, and that this is provided by His grace through repentance and faith in Christ alone. All who put their faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord receive eternal life and are saved forever.

The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit comes to indwell each believer at the moment of conversion. The Holy Spirit equips each believer for service through His gifts and graces. All Christians are to claim daily the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s power for fruitful living.

The Bible: We believe that the 66 Books of the Bible were given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and protected, in the original writings, from error. The Bible alone is our only and completely adequate source of spiritual truth.

Baptism: We believe that baptism is a visible expression of faith for believers in Christ, administered by immersion in water as a symbol of our identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

The Return of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again in power and great glory to bring judgement on the world and to gather His own into eternal fellowship with Him. CCF members hold various views as to the nature and timing of these prophetic events, but are united in the conviction that we are to be on alert, waiting for this blessed hope.

Our Leadership: The congregation is led by a group of leaders chosen by the congregation to share the duties of overseeing and guiding the church’s ministry. The present Elder Board of seven men includes three full-time pastors.
