OUR BELIEFS

THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (II Timothy 3:15-17.) 

ONE GOD
There is one God, who has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.) 

SIN & SALVATION
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. ( Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.) 

THE GOSPEL
At LCC we believe the gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance, which means we die out to sin, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, this means we’re buried with Him in the waters of baptism, just as He was placed in the Tomb for His burial, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, this is how we experience the power of the resurrection. ( I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.) 

CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)
