The Mission Statement of Nile Community Church
Nile Community Church is a fellowship of believers that purpose to know God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, through the free gift of salvation. We believe that the most important ministry is "The Great Commission": to preach and teach the gospel to as many as we can. Showing God’s love, we strive to reach a hungry world with Jesus Christ through obedience to the Great Commission. We also know that worship, fellowship, prayer, and the care of the sheep are important to the growth and health of the body of Christ. We believe people can be restored through the power of Christ and can live a life filled with everlasting joy and peace in Christ.
Articles of Faith
We believe in one eternal God who exists as the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who are equal in power and glory. We believe that God is the creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God; was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of the whole world, was buried, rose again the third day and is now ascended into heaven where he intercedes for mankind and will come again to rapture the church.
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that the New Testament is the rule of faith and practice for the church.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells in all born again believers and equips them for service to God and the church. We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that man is born a sinner and that all men have equal access to salvation according to their own choice; that salvation is given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and is received by believing in Jesus Christ, repenting from sin, and confessing Him.
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses men from all sin.
We believe that all born again believers should be baptized as an outward expression of an inward salvation.
We believe in sanctification as a separate experience after conversion. We believe that the Christian wholly sacrifices his life to God, who then empowers the believer for fuller service to God. This total consecration brings peace, love, and joy to a new level in their lives.
We believe that a born-again believer can fall back into a life of sin and be eternally lost if they fail to repent.

We believe in the support of the ministries of the church through tithes and offerings.

We believe in supporting local and world missions. It is the duty of the church to reach out to our community and all corners of the world for the cause of Christ.
We believe in the rapture of the church and second coming of Christ.
We believe in the KJV Bible as the standard for our preaching however other versions can be used for edification.
