Statement of Faith

We believe Open Arms Christian Church exists to praise God, win people to Jesus Christ, encourage each other, reach out to others in need and to stand for Christian values in our community.

 

Evangelism: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them so obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

 

Encouragement: Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. I Thessalonians 5:11

 

Benevolence: Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

 

Witness: You are the lights of the world. A city on the hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put in on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
