Our
Beliefs
The
People
At
Christian Outreach Centre you will find liberty. You will find people
who
are committed to love God and to love people. Those who attend
Christian
Outreach Centre find freedom, not only to be themselves, but also to
let
God be GOD in every aspect of their lives.
The
Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, is our Lord and Saviour and we worship Him in
spirit
and truth. He's alive and He's awesome! It is our desire to serve Him
will
all our might. We are not special people, only people who love a
special
God. The God we serve has an incredible love for every person on Planet
Earth and it is His sacrificial love for every person that is our
inspiration
and pattern for living.
God
The Holy Spirit
With
our desire to give God our best, comes excitement and exuberance. In
our
church meetings we are eager to allow the Holy Spirit to meet people
wherever
they may be in life. Some may call us radical. However, we believe that
the mighty Holy Spirit is present in the world and in the hearts of
born-again
believers, having been sent by Jesus Christ Himself. Because of this,
church
is the most exciting place in town!
The
Holy Spirit, is a person, and is here to heal the sick, free those who
are oppressed, and bring salvation to the lost. It is through His
power,
and a continuing personal relationship with God the Father and other
believers,
that people reach their true and greatest potential in life.
The
Bible
Christian
Outreach Centre holds the Bible, and the Bible alone, to be the literal
inspired Word of God. It is our text book to life itself, and inspires
an unshakable faith in a God who never leaves or forsakes us.
The
Vision
Until
Jesus Returns, the vision of Christian Outreach Centre is to play an
active
part in reaching our world for Christ. As our name suggests, we are
committed
to taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners of the earth,
starting in our neighbourhoods, towns and cities.
The
Church
Christian
Outreach Centre is one body of people, meeting in many different
geographical
locations. We do not believe we are the only true church, but part of
the
body of Christians from so many denominations who belong to Jesus
Christ.
The
Enemy
Our
only enemy is the devil, sin and hypocrisy.
We
hate sin because it separates people from God. It is only through the
blood
of Jesus Christ and the power of God that this can be dealt with in an
individual's life.
Hypocrisy
is the act of professing beliefs contrary to one's character. God has
called
us to be people of integrity and we believe that by the grace of God,
we
can live a blameless life.
Sin
and hypocrisy originated from the devil. The Bible says, "...but the
Son
of God came to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8). This is
good
news!
Who
can come to a Christian Outreach Centre?
In
a word- anyone! You, your family, your friends, your enemies, anyone is
welcome at a Christian Outreach Centre. People of different
occupations,
race, colour and creed find a spiritual home at our churches. We
believe
there are no barriers which cannot be bridged through the love of God.
