AT SFCOG, WE ARE . . .
WE ARE GOSPEL CENTERED
“By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (NIV)
WE ARE COMMUNITY FOCUSED
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.”
Galatians 6:2-5
WE ARE MISSION MINDED
“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
2 Corinthians 5:20-21
WHAT WE BELIEVE
STATEMENT OF FAITH
*We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
*We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
*We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
*We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
*We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
*We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
*We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that God created man and woman in His image and that marriage is Biblically defined as “one man and one woman” in a lifelong covenant before God.
We believe that God has gifted all people for service in the Church
