About Us
We are here to help you take your next step toward God.
Grow Closer to God
No matter where you are on your journey, we’ve saved a seat for you. We’re not just a building or a meeting. We’re people, just like you, who gather together to learn more about who God is and how to realize our full potential through a relationship with him. We help you along your journey by providing environments for three things.
Love God
God wants to have a real, personal relationship with you.
Every Sunday, we gather to engage in inspiring worship and challenging teaching. It’s all designed to help you encounter God and discover a relationship with Him. Whether you’re brand new to faith or you’ve followed Christ for years, our Sunday services are a place for you.
Love People
God designed us to live in community.
Church is designed to put you into relationships with people who support you, care for you, and make you better. Small Groups are your avenue to start new friendships and grow in your faith. We offer small groups for every age group, from kids to grandparents.
Serve the World
Serving is the ultimate expression of our faith.
Our response to God’s love for us is to serve other people. We believe in serving within the church and outside our walls, can change our lives and the lives of those we serve.
Our Beliefs
Stevens Creek Church is founded on the Church of God denomination. We narrow our focus to four essential beliefs. There are many practices and doctrines in our faith, but the following four truths will define our ministry.
1. The Bible is the word of God
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16
The Bible is both our guidebook for practical living and is our spiritual communication from God that provides us strength. The Bible is the inerrant, complete, inspired and unchanging word of God. At Stevens Creek Church we make the Bible a part of our daily lives by reading through it annually as a congregation, using the One Year Bible.
2. Jesus is the Son of God
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Jesus is the reason for everything we do. We believe that Jesus was born of a virgin as the Son of God. We believe that Jesus was crucified for the forgiveness of the sins of humanity and that He rose from the dead three days later. Jesus was both fully man and fully God. While Jesus was a prophet, a teacher and a good man, He is also the supernatural Son of God.
3. A decision to follow Jesus changes everything
“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” Matthew 16:25
In a culture that sees various methods of avenues to be connected to God, Stevens Creek Church believes that Jesus is the only way to access forgiveness and eternal life in God. We believe that every person is born into sin; believing in and accepting the grace of Jesus is the only way to gain forgiveness from sin. Every person can be forgiven and born again.
4. Believers can and should be filled with the Holy Spirit
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
While forgiveness comes from our relationship with Jesus, we believe that our relationship with the Holy Spirit provides us the power to live our lives focused on Jesus. Stevens Creek Church believes in the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is our best friend, our guide, our comforter and our strength. We believe that our lives can be filled with the Holy Spirit. Lives lived this way are evidenced by fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit found in scripture.
