WE BELIEVE
Town and Country Christian Church is an Independent Christian Church which has no creed but Christ, and no book but the Bible. We believe that Christ is the Head of His Church, and therefore every Christian is a part of His body. We seek to speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the Bible is silent. We take the Bible alone as our only standard of faith and practice.
The original Church that we read about in the Bible was a church where salvation made you a member. We follow that pattern. We refuse to impose upon people more than the Word of God asks them to be, nor do we require less than God’s Word teaches.
Membership in Town & Country requires that one accept God’s gracious gifts of salvation and eternal life.
OUR SCRIPTUAL BELIEFS
Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God who died for our sins and rose from the dead:
(John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” 1 Cor. 15:3-4 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me – that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said. NLT).
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and gives us guidance for daily living:
(2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. Ps 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. NLT).
Every person has sinned and falls short of God’s magnificent goal for their life:
(Rom 3:23 For all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious standard. NLT).
Sin results in death, but forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life are gifts God offers to all those who trust in Christ:
(Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. NLT).
The Church is the body of Christ on earth and exists to fulfill the work of Christ on earth:
(Eph 4:15-16 we…hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. NLT).
Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords
(1 Tim 6:15 For at the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of kings and Lord of lords. NLT).
