OCCM's Statement of Faith

Our Statement of Faith is the foundational truth upon which we base all other beliefs.

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

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

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death through His blood shed on the cross and His burial and bodily resurrection on the third day. We believe in His second coming in power and glory.

We believe that repentance from sin and trusting, believing, and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to salvation.  This salvation is eternal life by the grace of God and not by works.

We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the exercise of His power in believers today through His gifts.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto judgment. We believe it is important to uphold the Scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of communion. We believe that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
