purpose

OUR PURPOSE IS TO BE JESUS TO ALL PEOPLE.

VISION

TO SEE ALL PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING JESUS, BECOMING LIKE JESUS, AND LOVING LIKE JESUS.


Encounter Jesus

We are a church centered on the person of Jesus and we seek to encounter him. We worship Jesus in spirit, listen to him in scripture, commune with him in sacrament, and baptize into his name. We lovingly invite others to encounter Jesus too. 




Become Like Jesus

It is not enough to just know about Jesus, we are a church that seeks to become like him. Just like Jesus we pray, study, rest, and worship with others and individually. Spiritual maturity is not simply knowing Jesus but being people formed into his image.




Love Like Jesus

We are a church that abundantly serves, gives, and goes. We desire to love and care for lost and hurting people, locally and globally, as we love all people with the love we have already generously received from Jesus. 


Our Values

Jesus-Centered Teaching

The Bible is God's living word and the catalyst for life-change

We worship the living God through our spiritual gifts and with excellence


Life-Changing Community

Life-change is best accomplished in the context of loving relationships with authentic believers

What we Believe

We know that there are many questions about Church and faith. We acknowledge that people have been conversing about God for centuries and the conversation will continue for centuries more. As diverse and intricate the conversation about God and faith can be, the truth is, God can be known and we can have a relationship with him. And God has made that simple. At Capital City Christian Church we believe some things must be held as essential to understanding and being in relationship with God. These are things that do not change. 


GOD

We Believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Matthew 3:16-17, John 1:1, John 4:24, John 14:9-10,

We Believe God is the creator of man and all things.

Genesis 1:1, Acts 17:24-28, Colossians 1:16

We believe God is worthy of all affection, glory, and honor. God is the supreme joy, and He is most glorified when mankind is most satisfied in him.

Romans 12:1, Revelation 4:11, Psalm 16:11, Philippians 3:8


JESUS

We Believe in Jesus Christ, the only son of God, born of a virgin, died and

rose again to be the savior of the world.

John 3:16, Matthew 1:18-25, 1 Corinthians 15:1-5


THE HOLY SPIRIT

We Believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian

Romans 8:26-27, John 16:5-15


THE BIBLE

We Believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, a lamp to our feet, and a light unto our path. We Believe the Bible comes from God and is the authority for all matters of faith.

Romans 15:4, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105


PEOPLE

We Believe that every person has worth as a creation of God, but willfully sinned, and as a result is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23


SALVATION

We Believe that salvation, the forgiveness of sins, comes by grace though the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross.

Matthew 26:28, Romans 5:8-11, Ephesians 2:8-9

We Believe the bible teaches that those accepting Jesus as Savior are to believe in Jesus as God’s Son and Savior of the world, to repent of personal sin, to confess Jesus as Lord, 

and to be immersed in baptism.

Luke 24:45-47, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Romans 10:9, Romans 6:1-7, 2 Peter 3:9


THE CHURCH

We Believe the Church is the body of Jesus, founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of Christians everywhere, empowered by the Holy Spirit to make disciples of all people.

Matthew 16:13-18, Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:14-47

We Believe it is God’s plan for the elders to lead the local Church.

Acts 20:28, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, 1 Peter 5:1-4


HUMAN DESTINY

We Believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit life everlasting, the unsaved, eternal separation from God.

Romans 8:10-11, John 6:47

We Believe Jesus will one day return for His bride, the Church, 

and reign forever as King and Lord of all.

John 14:1-4Revelation 19


MARRIAGE AND GENDER

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.


We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person. As male or female, these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

Genesis 2:18-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5, Hebrews 13:4, Genesis 1:26-27


SANCTITY OF LIFE

We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, children who are orphaned, those who experience physical or mental challenges, 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
