Our church is in the heart of Texas where we are learning to live Authentic Christian Lives in the context of our lives today. We believe the Bible is God's Word for us and we seek to learn from the Bible in all that we do so that we can live as God wants us to live today.
Learning is very important to us. We believe that God has given us a simple direction from the Bible that we are to Reach people for Christ, Teach people about Christ, and Send people to tell others about Christ.
Sometimes going to a new church, even for experienced people can feel like going to the doctor's office to get a shot! You know you need to do it, but.................
So you put it off and put it off until the need to go is greater than the fear of going.
Well, let us ease your fears.
At FBC Coolidge, you will find a group of people who, like you, want to know God better and want to learn how to truly live an Authentic Christian Life. We are all tired of the phonies, frauds, and money grabbers. We want the real thing, and at FBC Coolidge, that is what we are striving to attain. When you come, no one will embarrass you in any way. We will say howdy, but not point you out in any way.
So come and give us a try..... No needles here!!!
At FBC Coolidge we believe in a loving God who sent His One and Only Son Jesus to die for us. As such, we believe that the work of our church should always be about the love and forgiveness found in Jesus for all who will believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
That is why we say:
It's all about God's love for you!
That is why we, as a church, have committed ourselves to being an Authentic New Testament Church that has but one primary purpose.
We exist to worship the Lord our God with all our hearts and all our souls. In so doing this, we call upon Father God to reveal His Glory in His manifest presence in our lives and in our worship services each week. We prayerfully prepare and come with the expectation of experiencing in our services that which only God can do.
As a result of experiencing His revealed Glory, we cannot help but to seek to share the Gospel Message of God's love and forgiveness found by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ with people who are desperate, like we were, to find meaning and purpose in this life .
We take the time and make the effort to learn from the Bible more about our Lord Jesus Christ so that our lives are transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit in us to make us more like Jesus.
We then experience the call of God on our lives to serve in a unique place and way for which God has equipped us and prepared us to serve.
