These are the
Core Beliefs of both the UFMCC, and MCC-Omaha. They have
been adapted for local use.
In one triune God, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, of
one substance and of three persons: God - our Parent-Creator;
Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God, God in flesh, human;
and the Holy Spirit - God as our Sustainer
That the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, showing
forth God to every person through the law and the prophets, and
finally, completely and ultimately on earth in the being of
Jesus Christ
That Jesus...the Christ...historically recorded as living some
2,000 years before this writing, is God incarnate, of human
birth, fully God and fully human, and that by being one with
God, Jesus has demonstrated once and forever that all people are
likewise children of God, being spiritually made in God's image.
That the Holy Spirit is God making known God's love and interest
to all people. The Holy Spirit is God, available to and working
through all who are willing to place their welfare in God's
keeping.
Every person is justified by grace to God through faith in Jesus
Christ.
We are saved from loneliness, despair and degradation through
God's gift of grace, as was declared by our Savior. Such grace
is not earned, but is a pure gift from a God of pure love. We
further commend the community of the faithful to a life of
prayer; to seek genuine forgiveness for unkind, thoughtless and
unloving acts; and to a committed life of Christian service.
The Church serves to bring all people to God through Christ. To
this end, it shall arrange for regular services of worship,
prayer, interpretation of the Scriptures, and edification
through the teaching and preaching of the Word.
