The Statement of Faith for Connect Restoration Church centers on foundational Christian beliefs, with a core purpose of glorifying God and leading others to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Here are some key values we honor as God's church
The Word of God (The Bible/The Gospel): We believe the Bible is the inspired, true, and authoritative Word of God, without error in writings, and the ultimate authority for faith and conduct.
The Trinity: We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ: We believe in Jesus Christ as God's only begotten Son, his virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atoning death on the cross for our sin, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, and personal visible return to earth.
Salvation (Regeneration): We believe that all people are sinners and under condemnation. Those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior are regenerated (given new life) by the Holy Spirit. Salvation is seen as the free gift from God.
The Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates, sanctifies, empowers, and gifts all who believe in Christ, and is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.
The Church: We believe in the universal Church (all regenerated persons) and the local church, consisting of believers united for worship, work, and fellowship, with the primary task of proclaiming the Gospel and the truth of the Gospel.
Christian Conduct: Christians should live for the glory of God and the well-being of others, with blameless conduct, seeking maturity in Christ.
Marriage: We believe that Marriage is a Covenant Relationship instituted by God as an earthly picture of Christ's relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:22-32).
Marriage is a lifelong union between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24-25, Matthew 19:4-6).
Our overall purpose is "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of age." Matthew 28:19-20 ESV
It's our goal and mission here at Connect Restoration Church to glorify God every day of our lives, leading others to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and fulfilling the Great Commission.
