- John 5:28-29
We believe that the church is comprised of any person, anywhere in the world who puts faith in Jesus. The church itself is people who are empowered by God’s Spirit to be part of the mission of Jesus here on earth. The church is one global community, but has smaller, local expressions, such as Christian Life Center. Each local church expression has a unique personality and we see beauty in that diversity. We believe that the church does not exist for itself, but exists as a community of worshipers who are here to serve others, as we bring the love and hope of Jesus to the world around us.
- Romans 8:9
- I Corinthians 12:12-13
- Galatians 3:26-28)
We believe that we as Christians are examples of the love of God in this world. It is His selfless and unconditional love that we desire to possess and without it we have no right to call ourselves Christians.
- I John 4:16-17
