What We Believe

Services

We worship at 10am on sunday mornings at 109 W columbian Ave. Neenah, WI 54956. Worship is also streamed live from our Facebook page. We also gather at 7pm on Wednesday evenings for Midweek Services. The Men in the fellowship meet on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month and the Women meet on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays. We have no dress code and we have classes for kids from toddler up to Middle School. Services are typically about an hour and 20 minutes long and include some singing, a sermon, a chance to take communion and often an opportunity to participate or share. We don't pass an offering plate and we try to leave plenty of time for conversations and meeting people.

Fox Valley Church of Christ Core Beliefs


Bible

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.

  • That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written so, we don't add to it.
  • That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and Christian conduct · 2 Timothy 3:16
  • We believe that it is in the scriptures that we find Jesus' calling to Discipleship. We understand discipleship to be the only calling and expectation of biblical Christianity. (Luke 9.23-26).
  • We beleive it is a joy to obey God's commands not a burden (1 John 5:3).

God

We believe in One God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three forms simultaneously:  the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe God loves people. He is intimate and relational. 

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus was more than a good teacher or prophet. We believe he was, in fact, God in the flesh. 

  • Jesus lived a sinless life in order that He might be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 
  • Jesus died, was buried, and on the third day, was resurrected. 
  • Jesus is Lord of all. 

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit

  • The Spirit convicts the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. 
  • Throughout history the Holy Spirit has been demonstrated in miraculous form during the time of the apostles, poured out upon those whom God chooses, and indwelled in every believer, at baptism (Acts 2:38)
  • The Spirit regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who are disciples of Jesus. 

Mankind

We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God

  • That by the sin of disobedience he fell (Genesis 3) and that after this fall, people lost the divine image of God and replaced it with a fallen human image (Genesis 5.1-3).
  • Mankind is restored to the image of God only in Christ, who is the second Adam (2 Corinthians 5).
  • We do not beleive that mankind is born sinful at birth, but that all do eventually choose sin and fall short of God (Romans 3:23).

Salvation

We believe that salvation is God's gift

  • God saves us through our faith in Christ
  • That faith in Christ is expressed in our repentance (mind change). 
  • Repentance then leads to baptism and a resurrected life through Christ Jesus. 

The kingdom

We believe that when a person is reborn into their new life, they become a part of the Kingdom of God.  It is through the local Body of Christ that a person remains connected to Jesus (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).
