WHAT WE BELIEVE

Crestview Christian Church is a non-denominational, Bible-based, Christ-centered church. Our faith is based on an uncompromising commitment to honor Jesus as the Son of God and respect the authority of the Bible. At Crestview, we do not think Christians must agree on all things. On issues that don’t compromise the supremacy of Christ or the authority of Scripture, we have the freedom to hold different opinions. We place a lot of value in this saying, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love.”


ABOUT THE TRINITY

We believe in one God, who expresses himself in three equally divine persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17)


ABOUT GOD

We believe God the Father is the creator of all things visible and invisible. (Genesis 1:1)


ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the one and only son of God, who died for our sins and arose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8, John 3:16)


ABOUT THE BIBLE

The Bible is the inspired word of God that gives us direction for life - a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105)


ABOUT SIN

Every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  (Romans 3:23)


ABOUT FORGIVENESS

Both forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available through Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)


ABOUT SALVATION

Those who accept Christ should repent of their sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him. (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38)


ABOUT THE CHURCH

The Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and exists to evangelize the lost and edify the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-16)


ABOUT CHRIST'S RETURN AND ETERNITY

Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life and the unsaved will experience eternal separation from God. (Matthew 25:31-46, John 3:16-18, Romans 8:10-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Our CORE Values

The following are the core values we see as essential and foundational in the life of a congregation. 


WE VALUE GRACE AND TRUTH

Everyone is welcome through endless second chances while holding to and teaching the uncompromising truth of Scripture.


WE STAND BY THE DOOR

We strive to be near enough to God that we can hear Him, yet not so far from man that we can't help them find the door to Christ.


WE OWN OUR GROWTH

God is the vine and we are the branches. We are each responsible for staying connected to the vine through spiritual disciplines, including worship, Bible study, fellowship, tithing, etc.


WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS

We love those God has placed in our paths with the gifts that God has given to us. We serve each other and others, in our surrounding city and around the world.


WE THINK LONG TERM

This world is not our home; our ultimate destiny is eternity with God. We seek to have an eternal perspective through obedience.

WE ALSO BELIEVE AND SEEK TO LIVE OUT THE GREAT COMMISSION AND THE GREAT COMMANDMENT:

THE GREAT COMMISSION

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." MATTHEW 28:18-20


THE GREAT COMMANDMENT

"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" MARK 12:29-30
