At Christ’s Church at Georgetown, we draw our strength and our values from God, learning to look at the world, His creation, through His eyes. It’s an ongoing process, one that helps us learn more about Him as we study the Bible, and put what we learn into practice in our lives.

These are the basics of our faith. We believe and teach that:

The Bible is the inerrant word of God. It is our standard.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…. 2 Timothy 3:16

Every person has been created in the image of God and each of us is very valuable to Him.
We were created to fellowship with God, but we chose to rebel. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God.
Through Him we can receive the free gift of salvation from sin and a new, eternal life offered by His Heavenly Father. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Baptism by immersion is our response in faith.
We respond to God’s offer of pardon, and it puts us into Christ’s spiritual body, the church. Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

We are a part of the body of Christ on earth, the church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, commissioned to reach the lost and encourage the saved.
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4:1-16

Jesus Christ will one day return and take His people home to heaven.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God ... We who are alive and remain shall be caught up … and thus we shall always be with the Lord. I Thessalonians 4:16-17

Our beliefs lay the foundation for core values that guide the ministry lifestyle of Christ’s Church at Georgetown.

We are a community of people who are:

Bible-based
We believe the Bible is God’s Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without mistake. We submit to its authority as primary, and evaluate other resources according to its standard. We seek its truth and wisdom to shape our decisions, direct our actions, and build our faith as we live by its principles.
