"We Preach No Creed, But Christ. We Teach No Law, But Love.
A Greater Light Temple of Christ Church
Our Doctrinal Statement
Being non-denominational, we preach no creed, but Christ; we teach no law, but love. We seek to minister to all the way of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. We hold the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired Word of God. We believe in the new birth and that salvation is a free gift of God through Jesus Christ to all who will repent and believe in the Gospel. Mark 1:15; John 3:16 We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, the deity of Jesus, the Son of God and the deity of the Holy Spirit. We believe that, while we were yet sinners, Jesus Christ shed his precious blood on the cross, and died, that we might have life and have it more abundantly - Romans 5:8; John 10:10. We believe that Jesus rose again from the dead. - I Thessalonians 4:14; Luke 21:1-8; 33-46; Acts 10:34-41. We believe that Jesus, forty days after His resurrection from the dead, ascended to God in Heaven. - Acts 1:1-10; Ephesians 1:15-23. We believe in the personal return of Jesus - with power and glory (Luke 21:27), and that His return is an event for saved people to look forward to with belief that this same Jesus, which was taken up from the apostles into Heaven, shall also come in like manner as they saw Him go into Heaven. - Acts 1:1-11. We believe it is the privilege and duty of every Christian to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to live a holy life, and to be always ready for the return of Jesus, and that in the meantime, each Christian should "occupy" (keep busy in His will, and in His service) until the Lord's return. - John 7:37-39; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 5:18; Matthew 24:44; Luke 19:13; Titus 2:11-15; 1Peter 1:13-19.
Our Vision
Our vision is to have great expectations for God’s purpose in our lives based on our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They will have a passion for prayer and servant hearts. Our vision is nurturing the spiritual growth of children, youth and adults through Bible study, small group discipleship classes, fellowship and by building transparent, genuine, Christ-like relationships. Our goal is to produce healthy families (married, single, or divorced) by developing spiritual mentors and by creating relevant and life transforming programs to strengthen the family.
