CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST
About us
We believe that the church should be a genuine place, a place that is warm and relevant to the lives of people in any situation.
We believe God has given us an assignment; to connect men and women to Christ, bringing those that are far off, near to God.
Some of the visitors to our website are searching for direction and answers to some of life’s most challenging dilemmas.
It is our desire that the search will lead to the discovery of the unconditional and healing love of Jesus. No matter your station in life, forgiveness for sin is available to everyone.
God has pursued you relentlessly through His son’s love. God sent His Son, Jesus to suffer the wrath of a Holy God against sin, in order that we might be forgiven.
We pray you have experienced this incredible truth in your own life. Tree of Life Family Christian Center is made up of people just like you, and it is a place with something for everyone, regardless of your stage in life.
Tree of Life Family Christian Center is focused on making Disciples of Christ through the taught Word of God.
It is a place where the Word of God and worship work together to bring people into a deeper relationship with God.
We seize every opportunity to set the atmosphere and tone, where families and
communities can be strengthened.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God.
(II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)
We believe that there is one God; eternally existent in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Gen. 1:31; I John 5:7)
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1), HIS VIRGIN BIRTH (Matthew 1:18), HIS sinless life (II Corinthians 5:21), HIS miracles (Acts 10:38), HIS vicarious death as the only sacrifice for the sins of the world (I John 2:2), HIS bodily resurrection from the dead (Luke 24:39), HIS ascension to the right hand of God as our intercessor (Hebrews 4:14), and HIS future return in glory, first to rapture His church (I Thess. 4:16-18) and second to rule and reign a thousand years upon the earth (Revelation 20:6).
We believe in the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the church of God, which is in Christ, at His return. (Titus 2:13; I Thess. 4:13-18)
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance, faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and accepting the Gospel according to Romans 10: 9-10. (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 8:36-38; 17:30-33; Ephesians 2:8,9)
We believe in the Sacraments of the Church established by Jesus Christ our Lord: The Lord’s Supper (Matthew 26:26-30; I Corinthians 11:23-26), and Baptism by immersion as a symbol and witness of the New Birth (Matthew 28:19; I Peter 3:20-22)
We believe that the regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation. We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in the present world.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer. (Isaiah 53;5; I Peter 2:24; Psalm 103:3; Joshua 5:15; Mark 5:34;
