CDP STATEMENT OF FAITH / DECLARACIÓN DE FE

WE BELIEVE IN THE SCRIPTURES

WE BELIEVE in the Old and New Testament Scriptures, to be inspired, the only infallible, true and inerrant (without error), authoritative Word of God.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:160; John 17:17

WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD

WE BELIEVE that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in God the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe that He is sovereign.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Psalm 115:3

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST

WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God. For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. Being fully God and perfect man, He performed miracles and lived a sinless life.
Scripture: John 1:1, 14; Matthew 1:20–23; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21

WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ suffered a vicarious and atoning death through the shedding of His blood. He was buried and on the third day was resurrected in His body; after which He ascended to be seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
Scripture: Isaiah 53:4–6; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11; Acts 2:32–33; Luke 1:32–33

WE BELIEVE IN THE FALLEN NATURE OF HUMANITY

WE BELIEVE that mankind was originally created in the image and likeness of God, and free from sin. Through the temptation of Satan, they transgressed the command of God and fell from their original righteousness, whereby all people have inherited a sinful nature that is opposed to God, and are thus under condemnation. As soon as they are capable of moral action, they become actual transgressors.
Scripture: Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1–3

WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

WE BELIEVE that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God and is worshipped and glorified with the Father and Son. He divinely inspired the Scriptures, convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, leads Christ’s Church in truth and is the Teacher and Comforter sent by Jesus Christ.
Scripture: John 3:5–8; Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 6:19; John 14:16–17, 26; John 16:7–13; Acts 5:3–4; Ephesians 5:18

WE BELIEVE IN SALVATION

WE BELIEVE that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone; that salvation involves the redemption of the whole person and is offered freely to all who exercise faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of the living and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Scripture: John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10; John 3:16; John 5:28–29

WE BELIEVE IN THE CHURCH

WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ as one holy catholic and apostolic Church, Christ’s Body and Bride, ministering reconciliation to a lost world. As ambassadors for the Kingdom of God and the Church, we affirm that evangelism and engagement in societal issues are both part of our Christian duty; both are necessary expressions of our doctrines of God and humanity, our love for our neighbor and our obedience to Jesus Christ.
Scripture: Ephesians 4:4–6; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Ephesians 5:25–27; Matthew 28:18–20; Matthew 22:37–40; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20

WE BELIEVE IN RECONCILIATION, JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

WE BELIEVE the message of salvation proclaimed by Christ’s Church is an indictment upon every form of alienation, oppression and discrimination, denouncing evil and injustice wherever it exists by lovingly ushering in the good news that Christ reconciled the world to Himself.
Scripture: Micah 6:8; Isaiah 1:17; Proverbs 31:8–9; Luke 4:18–19; James 2:1–9; 2 Corinthians 5:19

WE BELIEVE IN GOD’S DESIGN FOR HUMAN IDENTITY, SEX AND MARRIAGE

WE BELIEVE that God intentionally created each person as male or female, and that these two distinct and complementary sexes together reflect His image and creative design. We believe that our identity is ultimately rooted in God’s good purpose as revealed in Scripture, and that we are called to receive and honor His design for our bodies and lives.
Scripture: Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 5:1–2; Psalm 139:13–16; Mark 10:6; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

WE BELIEVE God designed human sexuality to be expressed within the covenant of marriage. We believe that God established marriage as the exclusive, lifelong union of one biological man and one biological woman and as the foundation of the family and fundamental structure of society.
Scripture: Genesis 1:26–28; Genesis 2:18–24; Matthew 19:4–6; Mark 10:6–9; Ephesians 5:31–33

WE BELIEVE IN THE SACREDNESS OF HUMAN LIFE

WE BELIEVE that every human life is created by God, bears His image, and possesses inherent dignity and worth from conception through natural death. Therefore, we are called to honor and protect human life and to demonstrate Christ’s love by caring for the physical, spiritual, and practical needs of others.
Scripture: Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 139:13–16; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37–39; Galatians 6:10

VALUES / VALORES

AUTHENTICITY / AUTENTICIDAD

As ambassadors of Christ, our commitment is to lead lives that are honest, rooted in truth, honoring to God and the Church and consistent with our faith and values.

Como embajadores de Cristo, nuestro compromiso es llevar vidas que sean honestas, establecidas en la verdad, honrando a Dios y a la Iglesia y consistentes con nuestra fe y valores.

FAMILY / FAMILIA

We believe that in the same way in which we are born into a natural family, when we profess Christ as our Savior, we are born into God’s spiritual family, which comes with benefits and responsibilities. We are committed to unity by being invested in each other’s lives, loving and respecting one another.

Creemos que de la misma manera en que nacemos en una familia natural, cuando profesamos a Cristo como nuestro Salvador, nacemos en la familia espiritual de Dios, que viene con beneficios y responsabilidades. Estamos comprometidos a la unidad al invertir en la vida de los demás, amandonos y respetandonos unos a otros.

DISCIPLESHIP / DISCIPULADO

Jesus trained ordinary people to follow him through intimate, personal conversations and commissioned them to make disciples. Our goal is to develop disciplines, such as prayer, private worship, reading and meditating on the Scriptures, which deepen our knowledge and strengthen our relationship with Christ, as well as to teach what we have learned.

Jesús enseño a personas ordinarias a seguirlo a través de conversaciones íntimas y personales y les encargó que hicieran discípulos. Nuestro objetivo es desarrollar disciplinas, como la oración, la adoración, la meditación de las Escrituras, que profundizan nuestro conocimiento y fortalecen nuestra relación con Cristo, así como enseñar a otros lo que hemos aprendido.

ACCOUNTABILITY / RESPONSABILIDAD

As believers we make a covenant with one another, agreeing to hold each other accountable to walk in a manner consistent with our faith, caring for one another and being open to receiving feedback helpful to our spiritual growth.

Como creyentes hacemos un convenio unos con otros, acordando responsabilizarnos mutuamente para caminar de una manera consistente con nuestra fe, cuidarnos unos a otros y estar abiertos a recibir instrucción útil para nuestro crecimiento espiritual.

EXPRESSION / EXPRESIÓN

Our community is committed to responding to God’s goodness with wisdom, radical love, extravagant joy, sacrificial giving, humble service and all kinds of expressions of worship.

Nuestra comunidad está comprometida a responder a la bondad de Dios con sabiduría, amor radical, alegría extravagante, sacrificio, servicio humilde y todo tipo de expresiones de adoración.
