WHAT WE BELIEVE

The following are the core beliefs of Community Harvest Church:

The Scriptures Inspired

The Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired and are the revelation of God to man; they are the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct for His own.

The One True God

The one and only true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth, and the Redeemer of mankind.

The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Holy Scriptures declare the following in reference: His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross and His bodily resurrection from the dead.

The Fall of Man

Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” However, man, by voluntary transgression, forfeited this created state of being and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

The Salvation of Man

Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
Conditions
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life.
Evidences
The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit; the outward evidence is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

Water Baptism

The ordinance of Baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

Need to be Baptized?
If you have received Jesus as Savior, but have not been baptized in water, we encourage you to register for water baptism during an upcoming New Life Sunday service.

Holy Communion

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, symbolizes and expresses the divine nature of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a memorial of His suffering and death, and it is enjoined on all believers until He comes again.

We periodically offer Communion, including during our New Life Sunday and other special services.

The Infilling of the Holy Spirit

Believers are entitled to and should earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Infilling of the Holy Spirit, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Infilling of the Holy Spirit gives the believer the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of gifts, and the use of those gifts in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth. With the Spirit infilling comes an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, a deepened reverence for God, an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, and a more active love for Jesus, for His Word, and for the lost.

Sanctification

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is ungodly, and of dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Ghost, we are able to obey the command to be holy as He is holy. Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the truth of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

The Church

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and the Church of the firstborn which are written in heaven.

The Ministry

A divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: 1) the evangelization of the world and 2) the edifying of the Body of Christ.

Divine Healing

Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Deliverance from sickness and disease by the hand of the Lord is realized in the life of the believer according to the Lord's will and Word, through faith, with demonstration of the power of God.

The Blessed Hope

The Second Coming of Christ includes the catching away of the saints of God (commonly referred to as The Rapture of the Church and our Blessed Hope), followed by a visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for a period of 1,000 years (commonly referred to as The Millennial Reign of Christ).

The Final Judgment

There will be a final judgment in the which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whoever is not found written in The Lamb's Book of Life shall, together with the devil, his angels and the beast and false prophet, be consigned to eternal punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death.

The New Heavens & The New Earth

"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." (2 Peter 3:13)
