Our Statement Of Faith

 

Corner Post Cowboy Church is a community of faith planted in the heart of East Texas. We are a church for working people — farmers, ranchers, families, and neighbors — who want more than a Sunday routine. We believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives, holds families together, and sends people out to multiply that change in the world around them. At Corner Post, you'll find authentic worship, real community, and Bible teaching grounded in truth. Whether you're a lifelong believer or just starting to ask the big questions, there's a place for you here. Come as you are. Leave changed.

God - There is only one God. He always was and always will be. He reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

God as the Father - God as “our Father in Heaven” is our Deliverer, our Healer and our Provider. He is Father to the fatherless and the One to whom we pray.

God as the Son - Jesus Christ created all things in the beginning. He later came to earth to purchase mankind back as our Redeemer (through His death, burial and resurrection), restoring the relationship with God for all who believe in Him.

God as the Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit draws all people to Jesus Christ, resides in all who receive Christ as their Savior and guides children of God through life’s journey to Heaven.

Bible - The Bible is God’s Word for mankind, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. It contains everything needed for life and godliness. It is a lamp for our feet and a light for our path. God’s Word is also the sword of the Spirit, our only offensive weapon in the full armor of God, to stand against the devils temptations and attacks.

Man - God created man, both male and female, in His own likeness and image. Man was given the earth to rule over and subdue, but chose to disobey and fell short of the glory of God, becoming spiritually separated from God.

Salvation - Mankind has been separated from God by sin and the wages of sin is death, but Jesus died on our behalf that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. Salvation is a gift of God’s grace through our faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation comes with God’s assurance that we know we have eternal life and that no one can remove us from the security of His hand.

Baptism - Baptism is a symbol of what has spiritually taken place in the life of a believer in Jesus Christ, identifying with Christ’s death (to our old ways), burial (down into the water), and resurrection (up from the water). Baptism represents both Christ’s resurrection from the tomb and the resurrection of all believers yet to come.

Church - The church is the body of Christ working together to spread the message of salvation and to equip God’s people for service in the Kingdom.
