Living the Christian Life Together
Come as you Are
Whether you are rocking a suite or t-shirt, know you are welcome here! Just be real and be you, we all struggle with things in life and church is a great place to find love, help, and comfort. Don't pretend to be perfect, that's like going to a doctor's office and pretending to be healthy! If you are looking for a Cedar Rapids church where you can be real, look no further!
Come as you Are
If you are looking for a small Cedar Rapids Church, look no further. Sunday service consists of worship and preaching, snacks and fellowship. Children's church is provided every Sunday. Come adore Christ with us this Sunday!
Join the family
Our church is not a huge fancy mega church extravaganza, but we are a family! If you know Christ as savior, you are part of that family and we would love to get to know you more. If not, take this as an invitation to join the family and to come live life with us!
What we Believe
We Believe in One God
We believe that there is only one true God, the God of the Bible. God exists as one, all powerful, all knowing being who created everything, including all of us; He is always good, and full of love and justice. God, although being one, consists of three unique and equal parts, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, this is known as the “Holy Trinity”.
We Believe in the Bible
We believe the Bible is the Holy Word of God, each word given from God to the human authors who originally put the words on paper. We believe that the Bible, in its original form, is perfect, without error, contradiction, or flaw. The Bible is complete, no extra holy text will ever be needed. Thus, the Bible is the ultimate authority in our church.
We Believe in Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He fulfills the “Son” portion of the Trinity. this means that we believe Jesus Christ is God. We Believe that Jesus Christ was born around 2000 years ago (around the year 0) and lived a sinless life. He died on a cross for our sins and rose again three days later..
Salvation
We believe that we are all sinners (people who do bad things), and fall short of the glory of God. Because of our sins (bad things) we deserve to go to hell, and not be in heaven, but God gave us a way to be saved from our sins (and thus hell). God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and then rise again on the third day. We believe that the only way to heaven is through the death of Jesus Christ. Jesus said to be saved we must believe in Him, confess our sins to Him (through prayer) and ask Him to help us stop sinning (repentance), then we have to confess Him as Lord over our lives and live for Him!
Here is a great five minute video explaining why no one is good compared to God’s standards, and why we all deserve hell. It sounds harsh, but it’s a simple truth. Go ahead, watch the video and see what you think. The good news is, Jesus died for everyone, so no one has to go to hell!
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Do not neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:24-25
How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!Psalm 133:1
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,
Matthew 28:19
