WHAT WE BELIEVE
Coulterville Christian
Fellowship's
Statement of Faith
† We believe that the whole Bible was and is the inspired Word of God, in which we are to live and pattern our lives after.
† We believe that the
Word of God is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and
for instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)
† We believe in the Triune
God-head of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
† We believe that man was
created in the image and likeness of God, but through man's disobedience
to the Word of God, he tasted spiritual death. (Genesis 2:15-17 &
Genesis 3:1-8) This caused a separation between man and God.
But through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and His
atoning work at the cross, mankind can receive eternal redemption for
their sins; the cross being the bridge that allows us total restoration
to God when we receive and accept His sacrifice for our sins.
† We believe in water baptism
and that it is an outward act of obedience to the Word of God, that it
signifies an inward change, through the redemptive work of the cross
which includes: salvation, healing, deliverance and prosperity. (3
John 3)
† We believe that every
believer in Jesus Christ is entitled to baptism in the Holy Spirit and that
the evidence of that will be a speaking in unknown tongues. (Acts
2:4) This baptism opens us up to a realm of the Spirit so that we
may function in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12)
† We believe in a literal
heaven and hell and that Jesus Christ will come back for those who put
their faith in Him.
† We believe that if you accept
Jesus Christ today as your personal Savior, you will escape the torment
of hell and partake of the wonderful bliss of heaven.
Vision and Birth of Coulterville Christian Fellowship and Hub Ministries International
Pastor Jim and Jacque Harrison
received Christ in the mid 70's in a local church in Twain Hart, CA called Chapel
in the Pines. Their Pastor and leaders felt the need to reach out into
the surrounding areas. After faithfully attending that church for
several years, they were sent out in 1980 to start and lead a Bible study in
Greeley Hill, CA. They had home meetings for two years in which the
Lord blessed them through various signs and wonders. This birthed the
church which we call today Coulterville Christian Fellowship. During
that time, in a vision, the Lord revealed to Pastor Jim a wagon wheel with
various spokes connected to it. This wheel had a hub which was the
center of our ministry, the Coulterville church, and the spokes were
different ministries we would branch out into other areas, both local and
abroad. We have seen this branching out already internationally in
Mexico and Australia and also in other local areas. Hub Ministries is
to us as Isaac was to Abraham. We have the vision, yet it will take
several years for it to be totally fulfilled. For this will be an
ongoing vision in the generations to come.
