1. The Word of God
   We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2. The Trinity
   We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, that these are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.
3. God the Father
   We believe in God, the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of all people, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
4. Jesus Christ
   We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth.
5. The Holy Spirit
   We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.
6. Regeneration
   We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
7. The Church
   We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
8. Christian Conduct
   We believe that Christians should live for the glory of God and the well-being of others; that their conduct should be blameless before the world; that they should be faithful stewards of their possessions; and that they should seek to realize for themselves and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.
9. The Ordinances
   We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that we are to spread the Word of God through discipleship. To Go make disciples which is the Great Commission. 

• Religious Liberty
  We believe that every human being has direct relations with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that therefore Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.
• Church Cooperation
  We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in a denominational organization. Such an organization, whether it is the Conference or a district conference, exists and functions by the will of the churches. Cooperation in a conference is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. Churches may likewise cooperate with interdenominational fellowships on a voluntary independent basis.
• The Last Things
  We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal bliss of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked

What are the core convictions that motivate what we do?

• Making Jesus Lord- We do this by daily walking with Jesus in an intimate and personal relationship by way of prayer, reading the bible and building relationships with people.
• Gospel-Centeredness- Bible as the authority for all things, it is God breathed and its self-attesting authority is essential to everyday life as we live out our walk with God by seeing life through a Biblical worldview.
• Discipleship- Becoming a convert without becoming a Disciple is not a biblical principle. The word Disciple or the form of this was used more than 260 times in the New Testament as the word Christian was used just 3 times. We cannot become merely a Christian without becoming a disciple, which is a follower of Jesus and Jesus said that we are to then in turn make disciples in Matthew 28. Disciples make disciples plain and simple.

1. Our Strategy
2. We believe that everything is built in relationship and community. Christ main mission here on earth establish His Kingdom on earth and take back all dominion and authority over hell death and the grave. He did this so He could redeem us and we could become part of that Kingdom as image bearers of God. Jesus built relationships, set people free preached His Kingdom and then sent His disciples to do the same. Relationships, community and evangelism are an essential part of the body of Christ. Building Missional communities are necessary for the world we live in and throughout history.
3. Discipleship/ leadership training and becoming a resource center for the community are vital to Culture Shift Center. If we don’t become a place where people can come and get trained and equipped then, where? Our aim is to be a source of discipleship and micro church training and equipping in the Parsons area and then send those people to the community to live on mission.
4. We are a network of Churches and Micro churches that plant churches and micro churches. These essentially are in the neighborhoods in which we live work and play. Whether at your job, home, or on the ball field, court, gym or lake or where ever your fun and happy place may be. We are leading a group of people in a discipleship relationship with the intention of them doing the same in a short amount of time. While continually being coached, mentored and discipled.

1. Measures
2. We are intentional about setting aside time to listen to God through His Word, His Spirit, and Prayer!
3. We share our story every week?
4. We engage in Gospel centered conversations weekly!
5. We are intentional about meeting new people!
6. We live out God’s grace through our actions and obedience!
7. We are daily learning God’s Word!
8. We are constantly making disciples that make disciples

1. What do we do? We Make Disciples that make Disciples
2. What is a Disciple? A Disciple is one who faithfully follows the Spirit of God, lovingly obeys the Word of God, and intentionally invests in the expansion of the family of God by training others to do the same.
3. How do we do it? We do this through Evangelism and winning the lost, through Equipping the Saints for the work of the Ministry, We Empower them to then go and do the same.
4. Evangelism- Evangelism means preaching, announcing, or otherwise communicating the gospel, our salvation. It’s delivering the message that Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God but also gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins. In doing so, He ensured eternal life for anyone who believes.
5. Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry, Ephesians 4:11-13 – And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
6. Equipping is the intentional act of supplying someone with the tools, knowledge, skills, ability and confidence to perform a particular job. In this case we equip the Saints or Children of God with the necessary tools to live out the Great Commission daily. We do this through a 4 month Discipleship process through the Timothy Initiative and daily reading of the Word as well as doing life together time with one another. We build relationships that are lasting and personal and during the 4 months we are doing the work of the ministry and not just studying a book. This includes intentionally sharing the gospel where we work, live and play. After this 4 month each person is encouraged to start their own group while still being accountable to their leader. Every believer is expected to be able to share the gospel, win the lost, and disciple someone or a group of people.
7. Why do we do it? To Glorify God, to be obedient to His Call and Command in Matthew 28:19-20, to Shift the Culture of Parsons to one that sees the World through a Biblical World View. To make God known to the community, the city and the world. It is our belief that obedience is a necessary part of the Christian life and Discipleship cannot be separated from Salvation. If we are not being discipled or making disciples then we are not fulfilling the Commands of Christ and we are living in disobedience to His Word.
8. What is a Biblical Worldview- What is a biblical worldview?

A biblical worldview (or a Christian worldview) is a worldview based on God’s unchanging Word. It is a belief that the Bible is 100% real and true, it is God breathed and inspired, that we must believe all of it or none of it, that we must life by it.  Since God is the Creator of everything in heaven and earth, He is the standard for truth. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and unchanging.

1. The Bible contains the words of God, and God is Truth. Therefore, we can trust what it says (John 17:17). 2 Timothy 3:16states that “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” Inspiration means that God “breathed it out.” The Holy Spirit guided and directed humans to write down and preserve His words through Scripture.
2. A biblical worldview is not just a theoretical idea. A biblical worldview changes the way we respond to major events in the world. How do you respond to a natural disaster? How do you respond to traffic? What do you do if your fast food order is wrong? How do you respond to a terrorist attack? What is our response to political turmoil? Someone with a biblical worldview is going to respond to these events through the lens of Scripture. While others may have their worldview shaken after a disaster, a Christian will respond with trust in God’s wisdom, confidence in Christ’s future return, and zeal for spreading the gospel.
3. Christians don’t rely on a biblical worldview only when major events happen. A biblical worldview informs how Christians prioritize their time and money, respond to leadership, raise their children, and respond to hurtful words and comments. God’s Word is a guide for all of life.
