At Elevate Christian Church we believe that there is one true God, the creator of all things, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Timothy 1:17). We also believe that Jesus Christ is the one only Son of God who died for our sins rose from the dead (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15: 1-8; 2 Corinthians 5:21). We believe that the Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God. It is the supreme source of truth the final authority for all matters of Christian faith practice (Psalm 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). At Elevate we believe that every person has worth as a creation of God, but that all have sinned fall short of the glory of God (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23). We at Elevate know that the forgiveness of sins is available only by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is available to those who accept Christ as their Savior Lord (John 3:16; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9). Elevate continues to believe that those accepting Christ in faith should repent of sin, confess their faith, be baptized into Him (Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7). Elevate Christian Church also knows that the Holy Spirit is at work in the world today to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He is in the life of every believer from the moment of salvation equips them for personal growth service to Jesus Christ (John 16:7-13, John 14:16-17; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:22-25). And we believe that the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit, exists to save the lost strengthen the saved (Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:1-16). Lastly, our church knows that Jesus Christ will one day return to earth reign forevermore (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
Now that you know what exactly it is that we believe at Elevate, we can also tell you a little bit about our congregation, the people who actually make Elevate a church! We have a wide range of ages within our congregation from birth all the way up to 80+. We love that our congregation truly does act work like a family. We show up for each other, help each other when able, love to do life together. Elevate loves for people to come gather on Sunday mornings for coffee, worship, prayer, hearing a sermon from our preacher, fellowship with each other. And we love for you to be comfortable while doing it because the focus should be all on God! We feel the best way to get to know us is to come and visit us one Sunday morning so we can truly connect with you!
