What We Believe
Down below is all our core beliefs at OCC...
In One God
Eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
​
Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 10:30
In the Deity of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is the eternal Son of God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, Jesus entered human history to reveal God to us, live a sinless life, die as the perfect sacrifice for sin, and rise again in victory over death.
Mark 16:19; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16​
In Scripture
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative and complete Word of God​
In Creation
That God created all things for His glory and that men and women were created in the image of God
In Salvation
By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. All are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, because all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, and only by God’s grace through faith are we saved.
In Baptism
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and a powerful symbol of the believer’s identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.
In the Great Commission
That we as Christians are called to live life on a mission as a people sent into the world for the demonstration and proclamation of God’s love as made evident in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity fully God, co-equal with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is active in the world today, drawing people to salvation, empowering believers for godly living, and equipping the Church for ministry..
