Belief

At Cross Culture Church, we believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith.

What is the Gospel?

The Gospel is the good news that God made a way for us to be saved from our sins through faith in the finished work of Christ. It is the central message of the entire Bible, and believing it brings salvation.

Understanding the Gospel

Creation – God, in His wisdom, power, and love, created the universe with order and beauty. Mankind was made in His image, with the ability to choose love or rejection.

• Curse – Humanity chose to distrust and disobey God, severing our connection with Him. This rebellion brought sin and death into the world, corrupting all creation.
• Christ – Jesus Christ, God in human form, came into the world He created. Through His miracles and teachings, He proved He is "God with us"—the only way back to the Father, the truth of who God is, and the giver of eternal life.
• Cross – Jesus willingly took the punishment for our sins by suffering, dying on the cross, and being buried. As foretold in Scripture, He rose from the dead on the third day, victorious over sin and death.
• Confidence – Through the Gospel, God offers eternal life to all. Those who turn from sin and put their faith in Jesus are restored to a right relationship with God and will experience His life forever.

What We Believe

Cross Culture Church members are encouraged to read and agree with our doctrinal beliefs.

Baptism

After believing the Gospel, every Cross Culture Church member must be baptized in water as a public declaration of faith.

👉 Purity

Moral Purity

As Christians, we are called to the highest standards of moral purity, striving for holiness in every aspect of our lives.

Moral Excellence

"Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence..."

—2 Peter 1:5

Perfecting Holiness

"I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate," says the Lord. "And do not touch what is unclean, and I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me," says the Lord Almighty. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."

—2 Corinthians 6:16–7:1

Doctrinal Purity

God has entrusted His divine truth to the Church. It is our responsibility to guard and defend it.

Guard the Truth

"...guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called 'knowledge,' which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith."

—1 Timothy 6:20–21

Defend the Faith

"...contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints."

—Jude 3

👉 Unity

We Pray for Unity

Jesus prayed that His followers would be united with Him and with one another.

"For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me."

—John 17:19–23

We Preserve Unity

Unity requires intentional effort and must be diligently maintained.

"…being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

—Ephesians 4:3

We Protect Unity

Church leaders and members are called to guard against divisiveness.

"Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them."

—Romans 16:17

"Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned."

—Titus 3:10–11

We Plan for Unity

Jesus provided a clear three-step process for resolving conflict and maintaining unity.

Private Correction – "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother."

Bring Witnesses – "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed."

Church Involvement – "If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector."

—Matthew 18:15–17
