OUR BELIEFS
At Life Change Church, the Bible is our highest authority for faith and teachings. The beliefs outlined below form our confession of faith.
JESUS
Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He became God's perfect sacrifice for sin. His death satisfied the righteous demands of the Father for the sin debt. The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and as such shares in the divinity and deity of God.
Isaiah 7:14, Hebrews 10:5-10, Matthew 1:23, John 5:22-23, 2 John 3, Hebrews 1:1-13
CHRIST'S RETURN
The return of Christ includes the catching away of the Church followed by the actual, visible return of Christ with His saints (the church) to reign with Him on earth for one thousand years.

JUDGEMENT
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and will be judged according to their works. If your name is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil, his angels, the beast and the false prophet, you will be sent to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire which is the second death.
Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Revelation 9:20, Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 21:8
