What We Believe

Church Beliefs

The Word of God
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired, infallible authoritative word of God. It is the absolute standard and rule for our lives and all that we do as a local church. We also believe every believer should endeavor to have a daily personal time in the Scriptures. 2 Timothy 3:16
 
The Worship of God
We believe worship is far more than just a time of singing in a service. Worship is a lifestyle in which we choose to honor God in everything we say and do. We value individual creativity and desire a place of expression and release for every unique gift. Psalm 66:4; John 4:23-24
 
The People of God
COTH is  a multi-ethnic, multi-generational body of believers that value and embrace all people with the acceptance, love, and forgiveness that Jesus Christ has shown us. We believe every person is precious in the sight of God, our Father, and each individual has something of value to contribute to the Kingdom of God and to our local expression of the Body of Christ. Hebrews 10:25
 
Relationships
We believe relationship releases ministry. Maintaining a right relationship with God and our fellow believers is vital to building a community of faith and accomplishing the purposes God has for our lives. Relationships are essential as they provide the accountability, affirmation, and assessment necessary for a church body to operate effectively.
