WHO WE ARE
We, as followers of Jesus, are a group of ordinary people who serve an extraordinary God. Our mission is to live out the mandate that God gave to His people to proclaim the Kingdom of God with love, power, and authority bringing heaven's realities to the earth through His manifest presence (See Matthew 10:7-8). Our number one priority as a church body is to see Jesus exalted and to see people come to a saving experience with him. Salvation brings freedom from all kinds of bondages and sets people free from all sins, sicknesses, and diseases. Our desire is to see and bring revival as we seek to honor the Lord and pursue Him and His manifest presence. Christian Faith Center is under the spiritual covering of The International Ministerial Fellowship in Minnesota.

As followers of Jesus, not only do we have the privilege of sharing our faith with others, we are also called to help others in the body of Christ to fulfill their calling. When we hear the word 'missionary' we often think of someone serving God in a far off land, which is certainly true. Jesus' last words that He spoke to His disciples is found in Acts 1:8. He said, "you will be witnesses for Me, in Jerusalem, in Judea, and Samaria, and to the whole world." The responsibility that Jesus gave to those disciples are also passed along to us as well and it is called "The Great Commission." Every follower of Jesus has been given the responsibility to Pray, Go, or Support those who do go and take the gospel around the world. We at Christian Faith Center financially support several ministries on a monthly basis. You will find the ministries below and you can click on their information and learn about where they serve and what they do.

THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Bible was written by 40 authors all under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It's message is relevant for today as it has been in every generation. In it is many topics such as: creation, mankind, God's purpose for mankind, God's relation to mankind, and many other topics.
BACK TO TOP
THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST
Jesus is the second person of the Trinity, the Son of God. (Matthew 1:32, John 3:16, Matthew 3:16-17, John 14:6). There are many scriptures concerning Jesus. The main focus of Jesus coming to earth was to bring salvation to lost humanity, which is all of us. (Romans 5). No one can be saved/born again except through the name of Jesus. (Acts 4:12).
BACK TO TOP
THE TRINITY
We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one in purpose, but each a distinct person of the trinity. (1 John 5:7, John 1:1-3, John 10:30, Genesis 1:26, Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Deuteronomy 6:4, Hebrews 1:1-4, Matthew 3:16-17, John 14:10).
BACK TO TOP
THE HOLY SPIRIT
Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is the one who lives on the inside of every believer when they come to Jesus. (John 14:15-17, John 14:26, John 15:26-27, John 16:5-11). We believe the Holy Spirit is still active today in all His gifts and activities.
BACK TO TOP
THE BASIS OF SALVATION
Salvation can only come by jesus christ, repentance, and making Jesus Lord of our lives. (John 3:16, Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, John 14:6).
BACK TO TOP
WATER BAPTISM
The word baptism means to be "submerged." Water baptism is an outward profession of an inward confession of one's faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Water baptism alone cannot save an individual, but it is considered as an ordinance of the church. (Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 6:4-11).
BACK TO TOP
COMMUNION (Lord's Supper)
In the New Testament, communion is remembering what Jesus did for us (His birth, death, and resurrection) making it possible for us to become "born again." When we partake of the body and the blood of Jesus through the act of communion, we are remembering His sacrificial death for us. (1 Corinthians 11:23-23).
BACK TO TOP
SPIRITUAL GROWTH OF THE BELIEVER
1 Peter 2:1-3, Colossians 3:1-17, Romans 8:14, Ephesians 2:8-10, 2 Peter 3:11-18, 2 Timothy 2:15
BACK TO TOP
JUDGMENT & ETERNITY
Every human that has ever been born will one day stand before God and give an account of their life. Those who served Jesus (not in name only), but really lived their life for Him will enter into an eternity with jesus. Those who chose not to, will enter unto eternity into judgment. Heaven for followers and hell for those who did not follow Jesus. (Hebrews 9:27, Matthew 25:31-46, Revelation 20:11-14, Revelation 21:1-8, Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 22.

BENEFITS OF GIVING
TYPES OF GIVING

When you choose to give an offering, you may specify your intentions for the donation in your notes. Giving is an expression of our love for God and our devotion to the House of God. We are a recognized 501(c)(3) organization that voluntarily participates in an annual independent audit. The church reserves the right to utilize designated donations where needed. Each year we provide you with a record of your tax deductible contributions in a convenient statement from your household giving records. In a desire to be good stewards, maximize the resources God has entrusted to us and streamline our accounting needs, please be sure to include your name & address with every gift.
Tithes and Offering: The Bible teaches us that the tithe is an act of worship to the Lord, which is ten percent of our income given to our home church on a regular basis. When we give over and above our tithe, we do so as an offering.

Short-term Mission Trips: When giving, you may specify which trip you would like your funds to support and which individual you are supporting.
