Christ Himself is the very life of this church. Everything in this body of believers revolves around Him. This church is His church - Christ is recognized as Lord here. He is the Alpha and Omega of our lives. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, or everything! We are a group of people who have believed upon Christ, Love Christ, follow Christ, obey Christ and serve Christ. This describes who we are - we are all about Christ.
Fellowship means "a sharing in common" and describes our common life together in Christ. As a church family, we hold in common our Lord Jesus Christ. His spiritual life pulsates through our body. His truth and love knit our hears together. Despite our many differences of family background, education, business, and social standing, we're one in Christ.
Bible describes our theological and historical distinctive. The Bible is the foundation of our faith and practice, as the Scriptures are the revealed will of God. The Bible not only reveals who God is in part, but also reveals the gospel truth without error. The Bible is our focus to understand, as it is through the inspired written Word we know God.
Church also describes who we are. This word - church - means "the called out ones." Accordingly, we are those who have been called out of darkness by the power of God into the light of His kingdom. We have been drawn by the Spirit into fellowship with Christ. We are in the world, but no longer of the world. We are the church - the called out ones. Christ Fellowship Bible Church - this is our name. But is more than merely a name. We are a congregation who have been redeemed by Christ, who support one another in loving fellowship, who hold to historic Biblical tenants, and who are called out of the world to be the church of God.
