cascade hills church of christ

What we believe shapes what we do. We are a community of people profoundly shaped by the conviction that God cares deeply about our broken world, that He began its once-and-for-all restoration in Jesus, and that anyone who wants in on God’s plans for the world’s glorious future can begin to experience that future now by believing and following Jesus. [John 3:16-21] [Mark 1:15] [1 Corinthians 15:1-28]

We think that is good news. This good news (traditionally called "gospel") shapes every aspect of what we believe and do at Cascade Hills. Below you'll find a brief outline of our core Christian beliefs as well as some of the historical traditions that mark our heritage. After reading these formational and foundational components, we hope you'll move on to what we're about.

Core Christian Beliefs

The following represents the core of what we teach at our church, all deriving from what God has revealed about Himself through the Bible:

God the Father is Creator of heaven and earth, sovereign over all creation, now and forever.
The son of God, Jesus Christ, is Lord, God in the flesh, and the Savior of sinful humanity through his death on the cross and resurrection from the dead.
Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead and to perfect his church once and for all.
God, through the Holy Spirit, comes to live within the believer and empowers the church for works of service.
Christian community is essential for spiritual nourishment, fellowship, and growth.
Scripture is the supreme authority for the church, a source of knowledge and experience of God, and a reliable guide to Christian living.

Restoration Distinctives

All churches arise out of a heritage of Christian history. Ours derives from the Restoration branch of Protestant Christianity in America. Particular to this tradition is the desire to achieve unity with other Christians by seeking to restore the core beliefs and practices of the early churches as recorded in the New Testament. Some of the key elements of this effort are outlined below:

We will work to restore the Christianity of the Bible in our day.
We will strive for unity in matters of faith, freedom in matters of opinion, and in all things, strive to love one another.
Our church is autonomous and non-denominational.
Leadership structure of the church includes elders and ministry servants.
The Lord’s supper (also called Communion) is observed weekly.
We teach that baptism is essential in the conversion process.
