VISION STATEMENT
“TO KNOW HIM, AND MAKE HIM KNOWN”
VISION: CRS shall become the national leader of churches actively engaged in serving and Influencing others to model Christian truth and Values.WE BELIEVE
1.THE BIBLE is the word of God written without error and is our absolute guide for doctrinal teaching and Godly living.
2.We worship and serve the One True God who revealed Himself in the Bible as Three Persons sharing one indivisible essence in the mystery of the trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
3.Jesus Christ is the unique person having two natures- the perfection of both God and Man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life but suffered and died in the place of sinful man, was buried and resurrected, ascended bodily into Heaven, and is preparing to return to return bodily to earth a second time.
4.The Holy Spirit is God who is actively at work in the world. He dwells permanently in every Christian, helps us to pray, equips and empowers us to serve God, strengthens and molds us to become more like Christ, and protects us to guarantee our eternal life.
5.Angels are the innumerable and unseen creatures who serve the causes of God and His people. Satan and demons are fallen and doomed angels who with the help of other evil spirits, promote wickedness and oppose God’s purposes.
6.Salvation is God’s act of forgiving sins, reconciling people to Himself, and giving eternal life to those who believe in Jesus. Salvation is not a reward for good works but a free gift of God received by faith in Jesus Christ alone.
7.The Church is the universal Body of Christ consisting of all born again Christians made one by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. To join a local church like CRS, a person must have undergone baptism by immersion, agree with covenant of membership, partake of the symbols Christ In Communion, and pledge to help fulfill the church’s mission to make disciples of all nations.
8.Jesus Christ will come again to reign on earth and to reward God’s people with life with him forever in the new Heaven and earth and to judge unbelievers with eternal separation from God and sufferi10Christians have a duty to honor and pray for those in Government authority, to pay taxes, and to help promote the general welfare of society.
