Our Statement of Faith
At Flock of Christ Sanctuary, we affirm the following foundational truths rooted in the Holy Bible and Pentecostal faith.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, and the final guide for faith and life.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven, and His future return in power and glory.
John 1:1,14 • 1 Corinthians 15:3-4Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through repentance and faith, we receive forgiveness of sins and become children of God.

We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues, are active and available today for the edification of the church.

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship God, build up believers, and share the Gospel with the world.

We believe in a life of holiness, obedience, and separation from sin, made possible through the power of the Holy Spirit.
