WELCOME TO UCCOG!
Our Mission is To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world and to help all people grow spiritually (Matthew 28:19-20). As spirit-led believers, this church is exhorted, "grow in the grace and knowledge of our lord and savior Jesus Christ". (2 Peter 3:18). The spirit of God leads the church (peoples) into all truth (John 16:13). Accordingly, this statement of beliefs is not a closed creed. As a spiritual church, we want the commitment to truth and deeper understanding and to respond to God's guidance in his beliefs and practices. We continually seek new truth and expect change as long as it is biblical. We ask all believers to prove all things and to hold onto that which is right. God's church is not any building or any one organized religion. We believe God is in all spirit filled churches no matter what the name is in their doors. As a Christain faith, we believe in one holy, loving, all-powerful, and graciuos creator God who exsists in three persons: father, son, and Holy Ghost. That Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human, is both Lord and savior. That Jesus christ suffered and died on the cross for human sin and that he was raised bodily on the third day and ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God the father. That Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead and to reign over all things. In the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance, which gives eternal life to beleivers, and who lives in them to comform them to the image of Jesus Christ. That the Bible is the inspired and infallible word of God, fully authoritive for all matters of faith and practice. That Christians should gather in regular fellowship and live lives of faith that make evident the good news that humans enter the kingdom of God by putting their trust in Jesus Christ. We believe in the spiritaul unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, That salvation comes not by works, but by God's grace through faith in Jesus christ. In the resurrection of the dead and the life in the kingdom of God that is to come. God the father will rule all mankind here on Earth in His coming kingdom, that there will be only one God and One faith and one way to live eternally.
