Community Church of Douglas is a Christian church and family of faith focused on

finding and following Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit in order to carry out God’s mission in the world. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed. We root ourselves in the Bible as our scriptural authority and in the historical faith of Christians throughout the centuries, as expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

​

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell;

on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian* Church, the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

​

*(The original word is “catholic” which means universal in this context and is not a reference to the Roman Catholic Church.)

 

We do not insist upon total agreement regarding the fine points of biblical interpretation. We would rather be strengthened by the healthy exchange of beliefs within the bounds of scripture and the Apostles’ Creed that represent our Christian diversity and we welcome seekers at any stage of their journey.
