Facility Purpose Statement
Clear Creek Church’s facilities were provided by God’s benevolence and are consecrated to His glory (Col. 3:17). Therefore, the facilities are to be used exclusively to glorify God. Although the facilities are not generally open to the public, Clear Creek Church makes its facilities available to approved employees, members and outside groups on a case-by-case basis as a witness to its faith, in a spirit of Christian charity, and as a means of demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in practice.
Clear Creek Church’s facilities may not be used for activities that contradict, or are inconsistent with, the Church’s beliefs, as summarized in our statement of faith (see below). This restricted facility use policy is necessary for two reasons.
First, Clear Creek Church may not in good conscience materially cooperate in activities or promote beliefs contrary to its faith (2 Cor. 6:14; 1 Thess. 5:22).
Second, our Church must present a consistent public witness to the community through its stewardship of its property.
Allowing facilities to be used by those who express beliefs or engage in practices contrary to our Church’s faith would have a severe, negative impact on the message our Church strives to promote and could cause confusion and scandal to employees and the community. Therefore, only events consistent with our religious beliefs, as determined by the church Elders, shall be permitted.

Clear Creek Church Statement of Faith
Article I. Revelation, Scripture and Authority
We believe that God is revealed in creation, in the Holy Scriptures and in Jesus Christ, the apex of revelation. The Scriptures, all sixty-six Old and New Testament books, are divinely authoritative in all they affirm. (Psalm 19:1-6; Hebrews 1:1-2; John 17:17)
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture. This means the Holy Spirit dynamically superintended the verbal expressions of the human authors of Scripture so that the very thoughts God intended were accurately penned in the wording of the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 1 Corinthians 2:13)
We believe the Scripture is inerrant as to fact and infallibly trustworthy as to truth and should be interpreted in context to ascertain each author's intended meaning. Our present Bible continues to bear the final authoritative instruction of God for the church and the world. (John 10:35b; Psalm 19:7; Matthew 5:17-18)
Article II. The Divine Trinity
We believe in God, the one triune, infinite, personal spirit who created and governs all things and who is the sole object of our worship. This one God has always existed in eternal relationship as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each identical in nature, equal in power and glory and having precisely the same divine attributes. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 4:24)
Article III. God the Father
We believe that God the Father is the holy and loving Creator of all things. Unlimited in time, space, knowledge and power, the Father has planned all that comes to pass. Although distinct from His creation, He is immanently at work in it. (Psalm 139:1-16; 1 Corinthians 8:6; John 5:17)
Article IV. God the Son
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He became man, without ceasing to be God, and was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order to redeem sinful humanity. He satisfied God's holy and just demands by dying as our substitute on the cross. He assured our redemption by His resurrection from the dead in the same, though glorified, body in which He was crucified. (John 1:1-2; Luke 1:35; Romans 3:24-25; 1 Peter 1:3-5)
We believe Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and is exalted at the right hand of the Father. As High Priest for His people, He serves as our Intercessor and Advocate. (Hebrews 9:24; 7:25; Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1-2)
Article V. God the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the transforming agent who effectively imparts Christ's new life to all who believe. He baptizes them into the body of Christ, dwells within all believers, seals them for the day of redemption and empowers them in holiness and love to serve God and His church. (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:22-25)
Article VI. The Creation and Fall of Humanity
We believe that all human beings are created in the image of God. Through Adam's disobedience, we by nature became alienated from God, acquired a destructive disposition to sin and came under the judicial sentence of death. (Genesis 1:25-27; Romans 3:22-23; 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12)
Article VII. Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God offered to all humanity by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This faith is manifested in works pleasing to God. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 2:11-14)
We believe that all true believers, having been justified, shall be kept saved forever. (Romans 8:1, 38, 39; John 10:27-30; Philippians 1:6)
Article VIII. The Church
We believe the Church, having begun at Pentecost, is the body of Christ and the temple of the Holy Spirit, a spiritual community of all believers. Local gatherings of believers represent Christ's presence on earth as they love one another and manifest Christ's love to the world. (Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14)
Article IX. Human Destiny
We believe in the physical resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous: the righteous to eternal fellowship with God, the unrighteous to eternal punishment, and conscious separation from God. (Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 20:15; 22:3-5, 11)
We believe in the premillennial return of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His kingdom reign upon the earth and in a glorious, new heaven and earth where redeemed humanity will dwell forever with God. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelations 20:6)
Article X. Marriage
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female, and that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4)
We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union. (Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4)
Article XI. Final Authority for Matters of Belief and Conduct
This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Clear Creek Church’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Elder Board is the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
