Beliefs

What We Believe

We believe in one God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Matthew 3:16-17; John 14:9-10

We believe that God is the Creator of man and all things.  Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, born of a virgin and Savior of the world.  John 3:16; Matthew 1:18; John 20:24-31

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Luke 24:1-8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

We believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian.  Acts 2:38; 2 Timothy 1:14

We believe the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God and is the final authority for all matters of faith.  Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.  Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:7

We believe salvation (the forgiveness of sins) comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (His death on the cross).  Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:8-11; Ephesians 2:8-9

We believe the Bible teaches to receive Jesus as Savior is to believe in Christ as God’s Son and Savior of the world, to repent of personal sin, to confess Christ as Lord, to be immersed in baptism and to remain faithful.  Luke 24:45-47; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; 2 Peter 3:9

We believe the church is the body and bride of Christ consisting of all Christians everywhere.  Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 1 & 2

We believe death seals the eternal destiny of each person.  The faithful will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God.  Romans 8:10-11; Daniel 12:2; John 6:47

We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of insestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. Psalm 139

We believe that God creates each person male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27) We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Genesis 2:18-25) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Campus Christian Fellowship.
