The Bible in the Truth
We believe the Bible is God’s Word for us today and that its application is fort he purpose of transforming lives.
We make a priority of learning God’s Word in a variety of contexts. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
World Missions
We believe that people of all ages, whether near or far, matter to God and they matter to us. Thus, it is our passion to lead people to Christ and help them become fully committed followers of Jesus.
We believe that the process of making and becoming disciples should be our highest endeavor. (Matthew 28:19-20)

We are committed to develop a deeper walk with Jesus Christ as individuals and as a church family. (Psalm 63:1)
Unity in Christ
We believe God brings a diverse group of individuals, with different spiritual gifts, to become one church family.
We believe that the church is one body with many diverse members all vital to the proper functioning of the local church. (1 Corinthians 12:12)
Prayer
We are committed, being fully dependent upon God, to communicate with the Lord regarding his work among all people.
We believe that it is the believers’ right and privilege to bring all concerns, thanksgiving, and praises to our Heavenly Father who hears us and is delighted to answer. (Philippians 4:6)

Our ultimate purpose is to glorify God as the church by proclaiming the message of the Gospel found in every page of the Bible to make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19-20) Specifically, we believe that God has called us to reach the people of Carlisle and the surrounding area who do not attend a gospel-preaching church to lead them to Christ and help them become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
It is our conviction that God designed the church to be an equipping center to bring people to faith in Christ and build them up to fulfill their God-given purpose in life in lifelong ministry from children to senior citizens. This equipping will come through being biblically grounded in preaching and teaching the Bible, Gospel-centered in our words and actions, Spirit-dependent in all of life, spiritually healthy dealing with conflict well, fervently passionate in seeking God’s glory, grace-led in all our relationships, and outwardly focused to declare and demonstrate the good news of Jesus.
As a result, we will be decidedly different, building on our past and pressing toward the future. Our ministry of the gospel will be sensed in the homes and apartments around the church and in every neighborhood where our people live. We also intend to expand our ministry world-wide through the missionary partnerships we maintain, Locally, it is our goal to lead people into a relationship with Christ with the purpose of being a church hat equips the Body of Christ with a vision to help plant new churches.
As part of the broader Christian and Missionary Alliance, we share our worldview with a worldwide church family. You can find additional statement and perspectives on the the Christian & Missionary Alliance website.
There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), Creator of all things (Revelation 4:11), who is infinitely perfect (Matthew 5:48), existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man (Philippians 2:6–11). He was sent by the Father (John 20:21), conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:34–38). He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust (1 Peter 3:18), as a substitutionary sacrifice (Hebrews 2:9), and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (Romans 5:9). He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures (I Corinthians 15:3-4). He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest (Hebrews 8:1). He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).
The Holy Spirit is a divine person (John 14:15–18), sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower, and bear His fruit in every believer (John 16:13; I Corinthians 12:4, 11; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23). He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:7–11).
The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for our salvation. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:15–16).
Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27): he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature (Romans 3:23), are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians15:20–23). The portion of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment (Revelation 21:8); and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss (Revelation 21:1–4).
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all people (I John 2:2). Those who repent and believe in Him are justified by grace through faith (Romans 3:21-24), born again of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:4–7), delivered from the dominion of darkness, transferred into the Kingdom of God’s Son (Colossians 1:13), granted the gift of eternal life, and adopted as the children of God (Romans 8:14-16; John 1:12).
It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly (1 Thessalonians 5:23), being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service (Acts 1:8). This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion (Romans 6:1–14).
Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body (Matthew 8:16–17). Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age (James 5:13–16).
Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the whole person (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17). Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures (James 5:13-16) as privileges for the Church in this present age (Acts 4:30).
The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church (Ephesians 1:22–23), which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:19–20).
The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41–47).
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life (1 Corinthians 15:20–23); for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment (John 5:28–29).
The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent (Hebrews 10:37) and will be personal, visible, and premillennial (Luke 21:27). This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service (Titus 2:11–14).
