What We Believe
The most important thing to know about the Christian Church of Warrenton/Knappa is that we are fully committed and determined to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"…Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve" (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).
The Gospel is the very heart of who we are and what we do.
In addition, we are a Bible based church fully believing The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and source of all truth for Christian beliefs and living.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (II Timothy 3:16)
Our Name

Our Mission
Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.
Jesus gave all His believers/Christians the same mission.
First and foremost: Love God, fully/completely, with all that is within us, nothing held back, and overflowing reflective of His love for each of us.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’. This is the great and first commandment.” (Matthew 22:37-38)
Second: Love People. Show the love of God to all persons the way Christ has loved us through forgiveness, compassion, and mercy.
“And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22: 39)
Third: Make Disciples. Equip believers in their personal faith/walk with Jesus and to help others become believers in Jesus Christ.
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28: 18-20)
