contained in christ church
Bringing People To Jesus Christ One Person at a Time
OUR CHURCH
From the biblical perspective, “Contained in Christ Church” is not a religious institution or organization. It is simply a body of believers, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ (1st Peter 1:19), and is taking part in the task of the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20). Contained in Christ, as our name states, is that we are indeed contained in Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:17). Our belief and doctrine are all contained and confined in the 66 books of the Bible. We are united in our belief, that there is no salvation apart from Jesus and his finished work at the cross of Calvary (Acts 4:12). We believe in sin and the forgiveness of sin, which is only possible through Jesus Christ, as we repent, (1st John 1:9). We believe in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, by opening the door of our life to Him, making Him our Lord and Savior, (Revelations 3:20). We believe that heaven is our home, as adopted children of God in Jesus Christ (John 1:12).
OUR VISION
Contained In Christ Church exists for the sole purpose of doing God's will here on earth (Matthew 6:10). When we say God, we are referring to the God of Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob (Exodus 3:15-16).
We believe that the only way to be able to do God's will it to adhere to the Holy Bible which is the written word of God. Our being church , it's function and practice is only confined to whatever is biblical. It is out business not to do anything outside of the Bible. (Psalms 18:13).
Jesus commanded that we go and teach all nations, therefore in obedience, as a church we preoccupy and focus ourselves in obeying this command. (Matthew 28:19),. We believe that salvation can only be found in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).
Therefore our mission and purpose is centered in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. In our conduct of the great commission, our main task is for everyone to come to know Jesus and be saved by His name.
It is our prayer, that we become an instrument for a person to turn from unbelief to belief to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, this is only possible when a person becomes "Born Again" (John 3:3).
We enjoin everyone of like mission and purpose to hold hands with us.
PASTOR
Ed Abasolo
As a person, I’m the same as the rest of humankind, sinful. I was a man of the world, and I used every God-given gift for my own interest. But miraculously, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I came to terms with my sinfulness and, with repentance, accepted Jesus into my life as my Lord and Savior. As a Christian, I learned that obedience to God is the greatest proof of my love for Him. I tried to learn from the Bible, everything I need to know about how I may obey Him, how I may worship and give Him the glory. In my pursuit of obedience, I heard a call one day to serve Him specially. As a pastor, I find myself no greater than any Christian, or any servant of the Lord for that matter. I just serve the Lord in this capacity, relying purely on the guidance, direction, and enablement of the Holy Spirit. I desire to glorify God in the ministry that He has given me, for Him to increase, as I decrease (John 3:30). There is no greater joy in life, above all things material, than to be saved by Jesus Christ, and to love and serve Him in this life.
