The Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The blood of our Lord, which was shed for the sins of the whole world, has redeemed us from the curse of sin and all the power of the devil. His resurrection proves He is the Son of God according to the Spirit of Holiness.
The Saving Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The free gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. Eternal life is not earned by works of the law or any human effort, but is a love gift to any man who believes.
The Promise of the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit makes us the temple of the living God; because God is holy, we have been made a "holy dwelling place." The Holy Spirit has been sent into our hearts to lead, guide, teach, and comfort us.
The Bible as the Inspired Word of God
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. In it the revelation of God is revealed to man: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is the message of the will of God for man in the earth. Jesus said, "Let thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven." It is a message of man's dominion of all things in the earth through the power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Government of God as it Exercises the Dominion of God
The dominion of the Kingdom is exercised through the Apostles and other authority gifts in the Church; but every believer is an "ambassador" of King Jesus, and as such, is to exercise authority over every thing in their lives. We are all to have dominion over sin, finances, sickness, poverty and every evil thing of the devil.
The Apostolic and Prophetic Foundation Upon Which We Are Built
The church was founded on the truth of present day apostolic and prophetic ministries. FSCC will continue to walk in the revelation of the church as it was given.
The Church of Jesus Christ
As the church, we are His very special love; the Bride of Christ. The church is meant to be the agent through whom His love, authority, and power flow.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Every member has been given, or will receive, a gift of the Holy Spirit. The gifts, as revealed in 1 Corinthians 12, are crucial to the overall edification, education, and evangelism of the Church.
The Preaching of The Word
"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." It doesn't say faith comes by reading. God builds faith, love and hope in His people through the ministries he has sent and given to them.
The Great Diversity of Culture, Race, and Traditions That Make Us "The Church"
The great wisdom of God will be revealed to the powers of heaven and earth as the multicultural, multiracial and multitradtional elements of the Body of Christ become one to the glory of God.
We Equally Value Both Male and Female Believers
As a man and a woman are both equally essential to the conception and birthing of children, so both sexes are essential to establishing God's family in the earth. Both sexes are also essential to building balanced family life in the natural so it is also in the spiritual family of God. God said, "Let them have dominion..."
Team Work
The Body is one; therefore, we value coordination and cooperation of all believers. We must live and move with one vision, one purpose, and one heart. As the human body doesn't function effectively unless the members are working together, so our team work is essential to the ultimate victory of the Church of Jesus Christ.
The Opportunity and Responsibility to Be Used in the Harvest of the Lord
The great commission is still the same, as it was in the beginning. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
The Fruit of the Holy Spirit
The fruit of the Holy Spirit are the character traits that empower us to live a life of unity and harmony. Therefore, fruit must be grown in our lives so we are not obstacles to the unity and flow of the Holy Spirit.
Strong Family Relationships and Friendships
The Lord is our friend who sticks closer to us than a brother. His example to us is one of deep love and commitment to those who are his family and friends. These relationships are the joy and comfort that is needed to maintain a strong Christian witness of love and loyalty.
Toledo and the Surrounding area
We live here, right now, by God's design and plan. We are called to be witnesses of the revelation of Jesus Christ our Lord, and to manifest the Kingdom of God as a witness of His eternal glory and power.
