Civic & Social Organization - Los Angeles, California, United States
WHAT WE BELIEVE We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. We believe it is important to uphold the scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of Communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation, but that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ. FROM THE PASTOR Hi I'm Pastor Steve Wilburn, my wife Laurie and I would like to extend an invitation to welcome you to one of our Sunday morning services. Our service times are 8:30am, 10:30am, and 12:30pm Our desire in planting Core Church in Los Angeles comes from many years of seeking God's will. I first moved to No. Hollywood when I was 4 yrs old, then as I grew up, we went to Los Angeles every other weekend to visit my Grandmother. What a joy it is to minister in the very same place that I have such great memories of. Our purpose here at Core is to be not only a Church that teaches the Word of God with truth and passion, but also a Church that is evangelistically minded. We desire to see many come into a personal relationship with Christ. We are so looking forward to the great things God is going to do with this new body of believers. Whether you have been going to church your whole life, you are a New Believer, or you are just trying to figure out what life is all about, you are welcome to Core Church. You are a vital part of God's plan, and we would be blessed to have you join Core Church in our vision of knowing God and making Him known!
