Our Beliefs

At Risen Christian Fellowship, we are committed to the truth of God's Word and to the historic Christian faith. We hold these essential beliefs:

 

  • The Bible — We believe the Scriptures are divinely inspired and are the authoritative Word of God.

  • The Trinity — We believe in one God who eternally exists in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus Christ — We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human.

  • Salvation — We believe salvation is by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

  • The Holy Spirit — We believe the Holy Spirit is actively at work in the world and in the lives of believers today.

  • The Church — We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, called to worship God, make disciples, and proclaim the Gospel.

  • Baptism and the Lord's Supper — We observe water baptism and the Lord's Supper as biblical ordinances of the Church.

  • The Return of Christ — We believe Jesus Christ will personally return and will establish His millennial kingdom.

  • Resurrection and Judgment — We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment.

As an evangelical, Pentecostal church, we also strongly affirm these biblical distinctives:

 

  • The Baptism of the Holy Spirit — We believe in the present-day work of the Holy Spirit, including the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the continued operation of spiritual gifts.

  • The Rapture — We believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the Church.

  • Men and Women in Ministry — We believe men and women are equally created in God's image and equally called and gifted to serve in ministry and leadership.

  • Creation — We believe God created the heavens and the earth and affirm a young-earth understanding of creation.

  • God’s Plan of Redemption — We believe God has worked out His plan for humanity through distinct periods of history, ultimately fulfilling His purposes through Jesus Christ.

  • God's Desire for Salvation — We believe God genuinely desires the salvation of all people and that every person has the responsibility to respond to God's gracious invitation.

"Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you."

1 TIMOTHY 4:16
