Bixby Community Church:

Mission:
To love God with all our hearts and become effective instruments of hope and healing for our community—reaching out to one another in Christ’s love and power to transform lives for His glory. To See. Believe, Do.

We Believe--

1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God (II Tim. 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12).

2. There is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal (Mt. 28:19, Jn. 1:1, 14).

3. Man was created in God's image. By willful disobedience he fell and separated himself from God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7).

4. Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of God’s son, Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:12-21).

•  On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvation and healing for all mankind (Ps. 103:3). This salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and by confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (Rom. 3:24, 10:8-10; Eph. 2:8).

•  The inward evidence, to the believer, is the direct witness of the Spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of true holiness and love (I Jn. 3:23; Jn. 13:35).

•  Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity (Rom. 10:9-10, 14:10-12; II Cor. 5:10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18).

5. Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that he or she has been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Mt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4).

6. The celebration of the Lord's Supper by eating of the bread and drinking of the cup is a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and an act of fellowship with Him. (I Cor. 11:24-30).

7. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the promise and free gift of the Father to all believers who seek it. With this comes power for life and service, including spiritual gifts of ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Lk. 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 15:7-9; I Cor. 12:1-31).

8. The Church is the Body of Christ. Each believer plays a critical part in the Body’s effectiveness and function. (Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23).

•  Spiritually (Jn. 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21;Rom. 10:9-10)

• Mentally (II Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Is. 26:3)

• Physically (Is. 53:4-5; Mt. 8:17)

• Financially (III Jn. 2; Lk. 6:38; II Cor. 9:6-10; Phil. 4:19)

• Socially (Pr. 3:4)

9. Jesus is coming to gather all His saints to Heaven (I Cor. 15:51-52; I Thess. 4:16-17; II Thess. 2:1).

10. Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead and everlasting torment (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15).
