MISSION STATEMENT
We are the voice and the hand that encourages people to change their lives with hope, comfort and peace."
"For the Lord shall comfort Zion: He will comfort all of her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody."
- Isaiah 51:3
VISION STATEMENT
We are a ministry founded on teaching basic biblical principles. We serve in the spirit of excellence with integrity and compassion for our community, our nation and our world. We rejoice in reaching the lost and broken and to minister and serve them with the utmost level of dignity and respect. We continually pursue excellent dedication to academic and spiritual excellence and mentoring and supporting spiritual leaders. Our environment inspires maximum participation, promotes personal satisfaction, and supports and molds effective leadership.
OUR FOCUS
We at CPFC strive to represent Jesus with modesty and precision. In the most basic terms, a Christian is someone who believes in God as Father and Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and Son. God did not wait for Gideon to become a spiritual role model, nor did He call on him because he had a great influence among his peers. God told him to simply “go in the strength you have”, but Gideon didn’t recognize any strength in himself. He asked, “How can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest…and I am the least in my family” God saw Gideon in a way that Gideon could not see himself, strengthened through the blood of Christ.
Through Jesus, God’s sees us in a Completed and Perfected way, washed clean by the blood of the lamb. It is upon this understanding that we approach our relationship with the Father through His Son. It is this understanding that we at CPFC hope to share with the world.
BELIEF STATEMENT
The Bible, the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and are the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
God -There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
The Holy Spirit - The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
Man - Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
Salvation - The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God.
The Return of Jesus Christ - The personal, premillenial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ is our hope and has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
Future Events - There will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
The Church - The true Church is composed of all such persons, who through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head.
Baptism and Communion - Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.
