OUR VALUES...

 

Every person matters

We value every person from every neighborhood. We desire to see a church family that looks like heaven. Our gatherings intentionally include worship styles from diverse cultures. We are better together.

We multiply leaders

We empower leaders. Every month Crowded House leaders are trained in theology and church leadership.

We practice extravagant generosity

We love to invest in God's kingdom. We get to invest 90% of what is given into local and world missions because we have such low operation expenses. Each local Crowded House location chooses where funds are given.

OUR BELIEFS...

JESUS

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.

SALVATION

Salvation is God's gift to you if you'll accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith.

THE BIBLE

The Bible is God's Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

HUMANITY

Humanity is made in the image of God. Although God designed us to have fellowship with Him, we became alienated from God through disobedience. As a result, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts.

ETERNITY 

You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven.

THE POWER OF GOD

In relationship with Jesus, we are not only saved from our sins and transformed by his work in our lives, we also become carriers of his power that works in us and through us.

THE CHURCH

The church is the body of believers who gather together for worship, encouragement, support and mission.
