The Core Values of Santa Cruz Community
Church:
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ, as fully God and
fully human, is the only true Lord and Savior.
Bible
We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired
Word of God, the record of God's actions in
history, and it serves as our final authority for
all matters of faith and practice.
Salvation
We believe that individuals become Christians as
they confess their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord,
and that they receive forgiveness of sins through
the His death and resurrection. We believe
Christians have an eternal relationship with God
and are given strength and help in living today
through the power and presence of the Holy
Spirit.
Baptism
We demonstrate our new faith in Christ through
"believer's baptism" by immersion, following Jesus'
own example. Baptism serves as a symbol of death to
our old life, and resurrection to a new life in
Christ.
Lord's Supper
We celebrate the Lord's Supper in which all
believers are invited to symbolically accept the
broken body of Jesus and the grace-filled gift
given to us in and through Jesus Christ.
Christian Life
Finally, we believe in a personal relationship with
the Lord which compels us to share our faith with
all people and live a life in which we act justly,
love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
We invite you to join with us on this journey of a
lifetime.
A complete "Declaration of Faith" is available upon
request.
