WHO WE ARE
 
Restoring Lives Community Church (RLCC) is a ministry of the Church of God of Prophecy (CGP), a vibrant, worldwide body of believers, united in worship, working hand-in-hand to share God’s love and message of hope to the brokenhearted. Our name defines our mission: restore people to God and people to people with a passion for Christian union.  The first and greatest commandment given is “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27).  
 
CGP has more than 1.5 million members worshiping in 135 nations. Find out more about the expansive ministry of Church of God of Prophecy at cogop.org
 
CGP has based its belief on “the whole Bible rightly divided.”  We accept the Bible as God’s Holy Word, inspired, inerrant, and infallible.  We believe the Bible to be God’s written revelation of Himself to mankind and our guide in all matters of faith; therefore, we look to the Bible as our highest authority for doctrine, practice, organization, and discipline.
 
WHAT WE BELIEVE
 

We believe in the Holy Trinity—one God, eternally existing in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father. All things were made through Him and for Him. He is true God and true man. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and was born of the virgin Mary. He suffered, died, was buried, and on the third day He rose from the dead. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, and He will return to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who eternally proceeds from the Father. He is Teacher, Comforter, Helper, and Giver of spiritual gifts. Through Him the saving and sanctifying works of Jesus Christ are applied to the life of believers. He is the empowering Presence of God in the life of the Christian and the Church. The Father has sent His Son to baptize with the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues and bearing the fruit of the Spirit are New Testament signs of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross; and that He died in our place. The believer’s sins are forgiven by the shedding of His blood.

We believe that healing of mind, body, soul, and spirit is available to the believer through the blood of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the grace of God brings forgiveness and reconciliation to those who repent, as well as transformation in holiness, enabling them to live a Christ-like life. Sanctification is both a definite work of grace and a lifelong process of change in the believer brought by the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit.

We believe in one holy, universal Church, composed of all true believers in Jesus Christ, offering fellowship and calling for service to men and women of all peoples, nations, cultures, and languages.

We believe in the spiritual and ultimate visible unity of the Church.

We believe in the ultimate unity of believers, as prayed for by our Lord Jesus Christ in John 17.

We believe in the sanctity of human life.

We are committed to the sanctity of the marriage bond and the importance of strong, loving Christian families.
