WHAT WE DO
OUR COMMUNITY
At Santa Fe Church of Christ, we are committed to being a church that shares and lives the message of Christ. We offer a variety of programs and ministries that aim to help people grow in their faith, deepen their relationship with Jesus, and serve others in their community. From our worship services, to our Bible studies, from our youth programs to our outreach efforts, we seek to be a church that is relevant, engaging, and grounded in the truth of God's Word.
At Santa Fe Church of Christ, we are a community of believers who are committed to loving one another, supporting one another, and serving one another. We believe that we are all members of the same family - the family of God - and that as such, we have a responsibility to care for one another, to encourage one another, and to build one another up. Whether you are a long-time member or a first-time visitor, we welcome you to our community with open arms.
What We Believe
We are united in the belief that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God, out of love for His children, sent His son Jesus Christ to establish His kingdom, die for our sins, and rise from the dead. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the final authority in life and doctrine. Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved through God's grace. This salvation is available for any who put their faith in Christ as Savior. Those putting their faith in Christ should repent of sin, confess that Jesus is Lord and be baptized. And the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue helping each other grow and mature as devoted followers of Christ.

Our Values
We value the Father as equal to the Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ as the Son of God. And the Holy Spirit as equal with the Father and Son. We value the unity that God brings through the Holy Spirit that there is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God. Our common faith is in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, and our relationship with God is dependent upon that faith. We value God's word and strive to follow the teachings of the scripture. The church as the family of God. The autonomy of local congregations led by elders under the headship of Jesus. God's concern for the lost, His love, mercy, grace and patience and His desire that no one should perish. We value community involvement, respect different cultures and seek to live together in peace and harmony with all peoples. Salvation is a gift from God but we must accept it. We value the promises found in scripture as one comes to Jesus in obedience. Unity and peace through our love for God and each other is so important. God offers and eternal home for His children, heaven, where we will live in peace and joy, in the presence of God.
