What We Believe

A Little Bit About CGCC

Common Ground Cowboy Church was started to reach people who didn’t feel comfortable going to a traditional church in April 2008.  We don’t care how you dress: cowboy hats, boots and spurs or shorts and flip flops. Our motto is “come as you are”.

 

Our goal is to tell as many people about Jesus Christ as possible.  We’ve chosen to do that in a way that is non-threatening.  Our message hasn’t changed, just the way we present it.  

 

We believe Christ was born of a virgin, lived a perfect, sinless life, he was crucified on a cross for our sins, and then he returned to life three days later.  He now sits at the right hand of God in Heaven.  He paid the price in full for yours and my salvation.  Salvation is a gift from Him and it can’t be earned.  All we have to do is to believe in Him and ask Him into our hearts and to be our Lord and Savior.

 

We believe in baptism by emersion.  If it was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for us.  

 

We welcome you to come and join us for Sunday morning services at 10 am.  Common Ground Cowboy Church is a place where sinners and Jesus Christ come together and find common ground. 

 

Remember we don’t care where you’ve been, we just care about where you’re going!

32 Jesus said whoever acknowledges me before men; I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.”
Matthew 10:32-33
