Beliefs & Values

What we believe & value at Codell Community Church

Our Beliefs

GOD

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe God created and sustains all things and is at work in the world to redeem all of creation. We believe that God is holy and abounding in love and all that is good, beautiful, and true have their origin in him.

JESUS CHRIST

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully human and fully divine, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived, taught, died on the cross for our sins and bodily rose again for our redemption and ascended into heaven.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit at conversion: indwelling, guiding, convicting, and strengthening us to live and bear fruit in the Kingdom of God.

THE BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and is our authority in faith and action as well as revealing the story of God and his on-going redemption of humanity. The Bible is not only our authority and informs us, but it also transforms us as the Holy Spirit uses it to shape our lives as we live in Christ.

THE SEPARATION

We believe that all people have fallen and sinned and become estranged from God. The result of our sin is the pain, suffering, and alienation that have entered all of creation.  

THE RECONCILIATION

We believe that it is through faith/confidence in Christ alone that we are rescued from sin and death, both now and for eternity.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD

We believe in the present reality and power of the Kingdom of God and that we have been invited to enter into it as we join with God in his work in the world.

HUMANITY

We believe in the dignity and worth of all people, created in the very image of God. We believe in God’s deep desire for each man, woman and child to be reconciled and in relationship with Him. Furthermore, all people are created to reflect the glory and goodness of God.

THE CHURCH

We believe in the universal church as the fellowship of believers and as the body of Christ sent to the world to reveal the Kingdom of God. This is lived out through the local church, which eagerly invites others to join them in following Jesus.

DISCIPLESHIP

We believe all who put their faith/confidence in Jesus are called to be his disciples and to experience spiritual transformation into the character of Jesus Christ. Our intentional effort is required to pursue this change in cooperation with the action of the Holy Spirit.

JESUS'S RETURN

We believe that sin and suffering will not have the last word, but we anticipate Jesus’s return to set the world right and irrevocably establish his eternal kingdom of love and justice.

Our Values

CHANGED LIVES

The Holy Spirit transforms lives & that leads to lives, relationships, & families that are changed for the better as we become more and more like Jesus.

COMMUNITY

We welcome everyone and authentically love and support each other as we do life together.

BIBLICAL TEACHING

Relevant biblical teaching is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

YOUTH

As the future of the church, we pour into children & youth.

WORSHIP

Worship is vital to our experience with God & it is our response to God because of who He is & what He's done.

INTEGRITY

We act in a way that aligns with our words & beliefs.

GENEROSITY

We have been blessed in order to be a blessing, so we are generous with our time, talents, & resources.
