What We Believe at First Christian Church of Inverness
Everything that we believe and teach at FCCI is firmly Biblical in origin.
- We believe in God the Father, Jesus is the Son, and the Holy Spirit are Three-in-One: The Godhead.
- We believe 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)
- We believe that Jesus Said to follow His commands: "If you love Me, you will obey what I command." (John 14:15)
- We believe that Jesus taught that we must:
- Believe (John 3:16; Mark 16:16)
- Repent (Matthew 4:17; Luke 13:3)
- Confess (Matthew 10:32, 33; Romans 10:9-10)
- Be Baptized for the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28;18-20; Mark 16:16; Peter 1 3:18-22; Galatians 3:26, 27; Acts 22:16, and Acts 2:38).
- We believe "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work". (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)
Our goal at FCCI is to become like the First Christians in the book of Acts, through the Apostle’s teachings, the Breaking of Bread (Communion), Fellowship and Prayer. (Acts 2:42)
FCCI supports missions worldwide, statewide and locally in order to fulfill the Great Commission. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20)
FCCI encourages its members to seek holiness, to be set apart for God's purpose. "Be holy as our Father in heaven is holy" (Peter 1:14-16).
MESSAGE FROM PASTOR TOM THOMAS
Are you excited? I am excited for what God is going to do next! He has blessed us beyond measure! Personally as well as collectively with this family of faith. I am still amazed at His goodness and kindness he has shown us on a continual basis.
Now we begin a new era for First Christian Church of Inverness without a mortgage weighing over our heads. With this blessing, this is not the time to quit. We must renew our zeal to continue to seek out the lost and bring them to Jesus. We should be less distracted and more focused on the task at hand.
What are your plans for the rest of the year? 2026 is already over halfway through. What are your plans for the immediate future? What are your plans for the distant future? Are you praying for anyone specific to come to know Jesus as Savior? Do you have plans to encourage this to happen? Are you praying for the church collectively that we may take to heart the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20? Are you praying for the leadership of this church to be in agreement with God’s plans? Are you praying that they may have His wisdom?
Are you praying for yourself and others that we will make every effort to be at peace with each other? Colossians 2:2 has always been the verse I focused on in my ministry: “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ.” It continues to be my goal for First Christian Church of Inverness! I love you all dearly and am thankful that the Lord led Lisa and me to this family. Looking forward to our future!
