Statement Of Faith

Obey the great commandment--Matt. 22:37-39
Fulfill the great commission--Matt. 28:18-20

 

Tombstone Cowboy Church believes in: The Holy Bible originally written in the 66 Canonical Books as the inspired word of God.

 

The one and only true God as an undivided unity expressed in the threefold nature of God the

Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ as our savior being the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, died as a sacrifice for our sins and on the third day He arose from the grave defeating death, ascended into Heaven and today sits at the right hand of our father God.

You must Believe in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior and repent from sin, (meaning, turn away from sin) to become a Christ follower.

Obedience to Christ-The Priority of the Church

The single priority of the church is to be the body of Christ living in obedience to its head on mission for Him. The priority is implemented in a threefold way:

1. The church as the body of Christ exalt the savior. Jesus is the head of the church, His body. He has the preeminence . We are to lift Him up in all things- exalt the Savior (John 12:32).

2.The church will equip the saints (Eph. 4:11-12). The church, the called out-ones, must be equipped to live the Christ-life and to extend His life to others. When Gods people are equipped, they will do the work of the ministry and build up the body of Christ-equip the saints.

3. The church will evangelize the sinner (Acts 1:8). If Christ is exalted, if the people of God are equipped for the ministry, then the church will reach the lost. The mission of Jesus in our world is to seek and to save the lost. If a church is the body, He lives within. His mission becomes our mission. As beats the heart of Jesus, so beats the heart of Jesus, so beats the heart of His body, the church.
This is what church is all about. The threefold priority of the church is: exalt the Savior, equip the saints, and evangelize the sinner. A church cannot do one of these without doing all three. If, indeed, it is doing one of them, it will be doing all three.
