CCS Statement of Faith
The following beliefs are accepted by all staff members and are basic to instruction:

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

We believe there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His bodily return in power and glory.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto eternal life, and they that ate lost unto everlasting damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells the Christian, empowering him to live a godly life.
