Our Mission

Sharing Jesus and Making Disciples

Jesus, “The Son of Man came on a search and rescue mission seeking to save those who were lost.” We have been commanded to continue the mission until His 2ndComing. Jesus came to rescue people from sin and to make reconciliation with the Father possible. The Cross of Christ Ministries and Church are dedicated to introducing people to Christ and to assist them in community outreach helping and giving as their individual needs arise and we are able to commit to. We are including all people in our community as one in the Lord. We will mentor and make disciples as the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 25:31-46; Ephesians 4:13

 
Our Vision

We are a church and ministry as God wants us to become one in unity and community. Our goal is to further His kingdom worldwide. We strive to become a loving community of believers where broken, lost, and hurting people experience God’s grace personally, and share God’s grace with others.

John 13:34; Philippians 2:1-11 

Statement of Beliefs

The Bible is the inspired, and infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the world. Jesus Christ is the central theme the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.    2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16. 

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

We believe in the Trinity, Triunity of the Godhead. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6 Colossians 2:9, Isaiah 48:16.

The deity of Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless life, and miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.   John 1:1. John 8:58, John 10:30, Mark 14:62.

The Blessed Hope and the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ in Glory. Acts 1:11; Acts 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1st Corinthians 15:3-4; 2nd Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and Hebrews 4:15; Titus 2:13-14.

 

All men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell. John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1st Timothy 2:5; Philippians 2: 9-11; Romans 3:23;  2ndCorinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians1:7; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7, Luke 16:19-31.

The present ministry of the Holy Spirit, His person, power and works, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9;  1stCorinthians2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.

The resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.

In the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the church. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23.

The ministry of evangelism sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and discipleship. Helping followers of Christ grow up into disciples maturing in Christ is the responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ.  Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.

God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage,  That God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.   Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.

We must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism. Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1st Peter 3:15.

That human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen. Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10.
