Paul says in Romans 12: "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." Each member of our church body is important, from our Lead Pastor to our willing and kind-hearted volunteers to the small children who praise Jesus each week here.

ABOUT FCOC
We believe in one God - Father. Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Gospel - the Good News of Salvation.
We believe in the Bible -
God's living Word.
We believe in the Church -
God's redeemed people.
We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere, and organized into local assemblies, called churches.
We believe the Bible teaches that every Christian should be an active member of a local church.
We believe that the Elders of the church are the overseers of its affairs and the shepherds of its members; that they are the final interpretive authority of the Bible's meaning and application for the church; and that they are responsible for the oversight, instruction, edification, discipline, and restoration of church members.
We believe in one God - Father. Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Gospel - the Good News of Salvation.
We believe in the Bible -
God's living Word.
We believe in the Church -
God's redeemed people.
That man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
That salvation—the forgiveness of sins—is only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ.
That one receives salvation by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, and confessing Christ, and that the Bible commands every believer in Christ to be baptized by immersion.
That those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ are sent into the world to proclaim the Gospel and to love and serve the world just as Jesus Himself did.
We believe in one God - Father. Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Gospel - the Good News of Salvation.
We believe in the Bible -
God's living Word.
We believe in the Church -
God's redeemed people.
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the eternal Word, the one and only Savior.
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, both fully human and fully divine; Who lived a sinless life; Who suffered and was crucified as an atonement for sin; Who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day; Who ascended into Heaven; and Who will return in victory to rule forever.
We believe in the Holy Spirit.
Who convicts of sin; Who indwells every Christian; Who helps us in our weakness and intercedes for us in prayer; and Who empowers us to a fruitful Christian life.
We believe in one God - Father. Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Gospel - the Good News of Salvation.
We believe in the Bible -

We believe in the Church -
God's redeemed people.
We believe God inspired the original writings of the Scripture and those original writings were consequently without error. We believe that the Bible is the final authority for all matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian living. We believe the Bible teaches that God is the Creator and Sustainer of human life; that God creates each person in His image; and that life is therefore sacred, from conception to natural death. We believe that God creates each person as male or female; that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the "image of God" in humankind; and that each person's biological gender is an intrinsic, immutable aspect of his or her nature and identity. We believe the Bible teaches that God established marriage in the beginning as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman; that He has reserved sexual intimacy as an expression of love and commitment between married couples; and that any intimate expression of sexuality outside of Biblical marriage is sin.
