Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Strong Tower Christian Fellowship based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, the sender of the Word. God the Son, Jesus, the Word made flesh, the begotten, the redeemer of the Saints. and God the Holy Spirit, the comforter promised of the son, who abides within us, believers, to counsel, comfort, confirm, and convict us to live righteously, in line with the will of God . God is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever more.
Deity of the Lord jesus christ
We believe that Jesus, eternally with the Father, is the only begotten Son of God. The Scripture declares that He took upon Himself the form of man, being born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and gave His life on the cross as the supreme sacrifice for our sins, purchasing our redemption with His blood. Being raised the third day from the dead, He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
The Grace entended through christ
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
Salvation of Man
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. Sin entered into man by the disobedience, sin, of Adam. This sin nature has been inherited by all mankind. The bible declares that the wages of sin is death. Just as the sin of one man impacts all man kind. If the sin of one impacts all, then we believe that the death of one, Christ Jesus, is precious enough to atone for all as well. Humankind’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Salvation is the gift of God to humankind, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation begins with in the heart of man and is sealed with the confession of the mouth of man.
Ressurection
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. To reach the lost and to bring sinners to repentance. We are meant to show the love of God to those who have felt unlovable, We are meant to demonstrate the Law of God, which is to LOVE God and to Love our Neighbors. We Strong Tower Christian Fellowship, The Church, the bride of Christ, will continually endeavor to Represent Him well.
