Our Beliefs

Christlife Ministries is “Orthodox” in our theology, drawing from the foundations of early Apostolic and church Fathers. We embrace without reservation the great creeds of the historic Christian Church including the Apostles Creed of 390 AD, the Nicene Creed of 325 AD, and others. CLM is “Reformed” in our doctrine accepting the reforms of the 16th and 17th century through Luther, Calvin, Zwigli, and the Puritan writers.

CLM is “Catholic – wherever Jesus is present” in our conviction that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is one Holy and Apostolic Church. CLM is “Evangelical” in our adherence to the authority of Scripture, the deity of Christ, and Salvation through faith in the atoning work of Christ. CLM is “Charismatic” in our worship and ministry, partaking of the power of the Holy Spirit and exercising the biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit. CLM is “Christological” in our belief that the Lord Jesus Christ is central in our worship and Christian practices. He is Lord of our lives, Head of His church, and King of His Kingdom. CLM is “Incarnational” in our theology, not that we are Christ, but that Christ is in us, and we are in the world, continuing His work and demonstrating His Kingdom on earth. CLM is “Covenantal”, believing that accomplishing God’s purposes on earth is possible only through our response to His covenant. His covenant was dramatized in the Old Testament through human experience with his people and is fully ratified in the New Testament through the atoning work of Christ. CLM is “Restorational” in our practical theology knowing that the central work of God is restoring man, the earth, and the universe back to God’s original plan and purpose. Christlife Ministries is “Kingdom” in our theology, believing that the central issue and concern of God in scripture is His righteous rule in Heaven and earth. Since the Kingdom of God was the major subject preached and taught by Christ during His earthly ministry and after His resurrection, the church therefore, is the embassy of the Kingdom of God and must proclaim Christ as both Savior and Lord of all.
