ABOUT THE FAMILY CHURCH AT CHRISTIAN RETREAT
We are passionate about family…God’s family…and helping YOU find your place in it. Here you’ll find freedom of worship and a passion for the presence of God. You’ll also find friendship and a place to belong. It’s our desire that you and your family would reach God’s highest purpose and potential for your lives through a personal encounter with God, systematic Bible study, and genuine Christian fellowship. Christian Retreat was birthed in the spirit of revival and established by sovereign miracles of God. Today, the same demonstration of power is building strong children, extraordinary youth, healthy singles, refired seniors and dynamic Christian families. With a heart for missions, here at home and for the nations, we’re fulfilling Christ’s command,
“Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.”
If you’re looking for a place to call “home,” then we say, “Welcome to …the Family!”

BELIEFS
WE BELIEVE…the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
WE WORSHIP…one God, Creator of all things, Who is existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
WE EXPERIENCE…the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for Godly living and service. Every believer can and should be filled with the Holy Spirit.
WE FELLOWSHIP…spiritual truths through the use of physical symbols: Communion – the Lord’s Supper speaks of our sacred union with Christ, and Baptism – water baptism by immersion testifies to a heart cleansing by God’s grace and public witness of that inner work.
WE PROCLAIM…the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved to the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal separation from God.
WE ACCEPT…the promise of the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ together with those who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, which is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
WE AFFIRM…the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, performed miracles then and now. He died on the cross, shed His blood to atone for our sins, and provides for the healing of the body. He was resurrected bodily from the grave, ascended to the right hand of our Heavenly Father, and will return in person in power and glory.
