DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

The Articles of Faith and the Apostles' Creed are considered to be the Doctrinal Statement of CECC. We do not advocate any other doctrine unless it lines up with God's Word and does not engender fear, division or confusion. Our ministers and clergy are at liberty to hold other personal Christian beliefs, or matters pertaining to dress code or style of worship, etc. This allows our ministers to freely demonstrate the power of God in their lives while focusing on the exercising of their ministry gifts.

APOSTLES' CREED

• I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;
• And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord;
• Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary;
• Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell;
• The third day He rose again from the dead:
• He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
• From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead;
• I believe in the Holy Ghost;
• The holy catholic* Church; the communion of the saints;
• The forgiveness of sins;
• The resurrection of the body;
• And life everlasting. AMEN.
