Our Beliefs at Cornerstone Fellowship of DeGraff
|
We believe God’s very existence is community – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe and profess the teachings of historical Christianity. We believe and teach that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative word of God. We believe that all people were created by God in His image and should therefore matter to us. Everyone is welcome at Cornerstone Fellowship of DeGraff no matter where they are in their spiritual journey. We believe that Jesus makes forgiveness possible for everyone – His sacrificial life, death, and resurrection is a gift from God that gives us freedom from the mistakes and failures of our past and freedom to be what God created us to be. We believe embracing faith in Jesus is the only way for this restoration to happen. We believe that taking time to investigate the claims of Christ is important; doing so within the context of community provides for a rooted spiritual life. We believe that as followers of Jesus we are called to holiness and to bring our lives under the leadership of Jesus. As we follow Jesus, the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us and works to transform us with sanctifying grace. We believe that the celebration of Holy Communion is a significant way we remember Christ’s sacrificial lifestyle and anticipate His return. When we participate in the Lord’s Supper as a community, it is a time of both celebration and reflection. We believe that baptism is a once-in-a-lifetime initiation into the Christian community. The sacrament is a gift of God’s grace that is available to persons of all ages. While no one needs to be re-baptized, we do offer frequent opportunities to remember your baptism. |
