Our Beliefs:
BASIC PRACTICES: BIBLE AS OUR SOLE AUTHORITY:
We accept the Bible as our manual for living. We are to practice daily:
a) Bible Reading
b) Bible Study
c) Bible Memorization
“Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.” (2 Timothy. 3:16, 17 MSG)
TITHING AND OFFERING:
At Central Church, we practice tithing for the support of Christ’s body and Ministry, as God commands. We recognize that giving 10% of all that comes to us is the biblical standard of giving. “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord..” (Leviticus 27:30 KJV)
WE BELIEVE THE OFFERING AFTER THE TITHE IS ESSENTIAL:
“People should not steal things from God, but you stole things from me. You say, ‘What did we steal from you?’ “You should have given me one-tenth of your things. You should have given me special gifts. (Malachi 3:8 ERV)
SPIRIT-LED LIVING:
So we seek to practice a daily dependence on God’s Spirit to enable us to do what is right.“I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won’t be able to do anything.” (John 15:5 ERV)
TELLING OTHERS ABOUT CHRIST:
We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to church.“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” (1st Pet 3:15 KJV)
