Depth Comes From Movement

God calls us to take part in his transforming work and promises that we will be transformed in the process. As a praying church, we believe the Gospel transforms our lives. The presence of Jesus in our lives is good news for us and everyone around us. This good news is more than hope in life after death; it holistically impacts the lives of people in our community and our world. Every year our church will identify different areas of our community and our world to partner with God in his transforming work.

Beliefs

Gospel

We believe the good news that God sent his son Jesus, who lived, died, rose and ascended to heaven for the salvation and redemption of creation (1 Cor 15:1-5; Rom 1:1-5; Gal 4:4-7).

God

We believe in one God, the creator of all things, who is completely perfect. God eternally exists in three persons: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Romans 1:20; 1 Peter 1:2)

Father

We believe in God the father, the maker of Heaven and earth, all things visible and invisible (Deut 6:4-5; 1 Cor 8:5-6; Col 1:15-20)

Jesus/Son

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten not made. He was incarnate conceived by the of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He experienced true humanity while on earth, and died on the cross, was buried, as a perfect and complete sacrifice for our sin. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven where he is at the right hand of the throne of God. (John 1:1-5; 3:16; Luke 1:34-35; 1Timothy 2:5-6; Philippians 2:1-11; Colossians 1:15-20)

Holy SPirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Lord, the giver of life, who sustains and sanctifies the Church. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus by indwelling believers to convict, guide, regenerate, instruct, and empower for godly living. (John 16:7-14)

The Bible

We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings. They reveal God’s will, identity, and mission. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Humanity

We believe all people are created by God in the image of God and are loved by God. Therefore, all people have great worth. But, all people have fallen into sin and are in need of a savior. We believe that the work of Jesus through his sacrifice and resurrection are humanity’s only hope for justification and future resurrection from the dead. All who have faith in Jesus and become followers of him are in-dwelled by the Holy Spirit and become children of God. (Romans 3:21-26; 8:15-18; Ephesians 2:8-10)

Mission

We believe that Jesus has commissioned all of his followers to make the gospel, the good news of our salvation by his work, known to the world and to raise up more disciples of Jesus. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Church

We believe that the church is the united body of all people who have faith in Jesus and are being led by the Holy Spirit to represent the Body of Christ on Earth. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)

Partnership with WSCC

This partnership is two separate churches partnering together to impact our community!

The leadership of Webber Street Christian Church (WSCC) approached Jason Epperson, lead pastor of CU Church, about exploring a partnership to see how the two churches could work together to leverage their resources to show Christ’s love in our community. This initial discussion led to many more conversations which led to the consideration of numerous ways to partner together, including shared use of the WSCC building.
