The Alondra Church of Christ exists to bring people in the “hub city” communities and all places where we service into a life-transforming encounter with the kingdom Of God.

Our goal: Creating healthy communities of faith, which accomplish the following:  

o       Making mature and equipped followers of Christ.

o       Becoming a church of compassion comprised of praying believers willing to give themselves away for the cause     of the least and the lost.

o       Building strategic bridges between our church and the communities in which we live, work and play.

We believe-- There is only one true God. “And God said, Let us make man in our image.”  He is the Creator of all life and the Supreme Ruler of the universe. He has always been—there was not when he was not and there will be when he isn’t (He is eternal) and co-exists equally in three Persons – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. We learn about God through His creation, His Word, and His Son. God loves us more than we can imagine.
 Genesis 1:26,27; Deuteronomy 6:4; Job 38:1 - 41:34; 
Matthew 3:13-17; John 3:16; Romans 1:19,20; 
2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:6

We believe—Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God.  “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.  He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.  For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Co-equal with God the Father and God the Spirit, He came to earth and became man. He was completely God while at the same time being fully man. He revealed to us who God is. His miraculous acts, sinless life, and life-changing teachings all confirm the fact that He is God’s Son. His purpose for coming to Earth was to show God’s love by dying on a cross, thus taking the sins of all mankind upon Himself, and paying the penalty that our sins deserve. His bodily resurrection from the grave and His promise to return someday are testimonies to the fact that He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus desires the deepest of relationship with every person.
 Matthew 1:22,23; John 1:1, 14, 18;
Acts 10:37-43; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Ephesians 2:4-8; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-21; Hebrews 1:1-3

We believe—The Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. “… that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,  and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us…”  He dwells in each member of God’s family as a Helper and Guide. It is through the work of the Holy Spirit that a person comes to salvation. At the point of salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to live in our physical bodies as His home. He provides help to every Christian to do what is right, strength to serve Jesus, and direction for living life God’s way. Every Christian is to allow God’s Spirit to help him on a daily basis. 
John 14:16,17; John 16:7-13; 
Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 6:19,20; Ephesians 3:16-20; Ephesians 5:18

We believe—The Bible is the WORD of GOD. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;  so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. The process that God used to give us His Word is called inspiration, which means God-breathed. The Word of God is without error and is truth. It tells us who God is, why He loves us, and what His plans are for us. The Bible is the authority or standard for living our lives according to God’s will for us. 
Psalm 19:7-11; Psalm 119:105, 160; John 17:17; 
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21

We believe—that man was created in the image of God.  “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: God gave us free will – we have the ability to choose to love as God loves, to choose to do right in the likeness of God’s righteousness, and to choose to value what God values. God created us because He wants a family who will love Him because we want to love Him, and not because we have to love Him. The first man, Adam, chose to sin, and now every person lives in a marred creation with a marred spiritual nature. As a result, every person will eventually choose to sin and subsequently become separated from God. 
Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3:1-24; 
Psalm 8:3-6; John 4:24; Ephesians 1:4-6; Romans 3:23

We believe—that we need salvation because we have sinned. “Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?”  Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Sin separates us from God who desires relationship with us. It is impossible for any man to restore that broken relationship with God by any amount of personal goodness, religious deeds, or by belonging to a church. We cannot earn, merit or achieve a right relationship with God by our own efforts. The death of Jesus was not an accident. It was God’s plan from the beginning to save us from our sins through the death of Jesus Christ. The Bible calls God’s act of love, grace. His grace is His gift to us. The way we receive His gift is by entering into a covenant relationship with Jesus by placing our trust and faith in Him. When we decide that we will follow Jesus for the rest of our lives, we demonstrate our trust in Jesus by obeying His command to be immersed (baptized) in water demonstrating the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. 
Isaiah 59:2; John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 2:37-39; 
Romans 3:10,11, 23; Romans 6:3,4; Romans 6:23; 
1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 2:1-10; Titus 3:3-8

We believe—the church is God’s spiritual family. “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” It is made up of all those who have chosen to place their trust and faith in Jesus and who are His followers (disciples). The Church is not a building, but rather the called out community of faith who have responded in obedience to His Will. To belong to the Church, is to belong to Jesus. The Bible uses the analogy that Jesus is the Head of the Church, which is His body. God’s will is for the Church to gather regularly to worship its Head, Jesus, to use its various gifts and abilities to serve its Head, to love and encourage those who are in the body, and to work diligently to maintain the unity of the body. As the members of His Church love one another and maintain unity of purpose and relationship, the world around us will recognize that we belong to Jesus. The Church or body is to seek to do the will of God, which also includes loving and saving the world through Jesus Christ.
 Matthew 16:15-18; John 17:20-23; John 13:34,35; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 1:22,23; 
Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:4-10

We believe—Eternity is real. “And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” When God created you and me, He created us with a soul, which will never cease to exist. Those who choose to follow Jesus as Lord, and have a growing relationship with Him, will spend eternity with God in Heaven. Those who reject Jesus by refusing to follow Him will spend eternity in Hell. Heaven, like salvation and grace, is a gift of God. Hell is the due consequence for those who have not accepted God’s offer of forgiveness. Heaven and Hell are real places.
