What we see is people;

Who love each other, but also love to reach out to and serve those around them.

Who gather together to discuss the important things in life

Who are we?
Why are we here?
What are we supposed to be doing?
How does God fit into my life?
How do I fit into God's plan?

Who gather together to hang out and

Watch TV
Enjoy a meal
Help others
Chase after God

Who are honest with each other about

Questions they have
Struggles with doubts and fears
Failures that hold them back

This group of people is not limited by the confines of buildings, but is fluid throughout the community of Laramie and beyond.  Rather than having one primary base of operations they are dispersed across several locations.  There is the storefront location that houses offices, a kitchen, a living room, private meeting space and storage.  In addition to the central location there is a remote place outside of town that is used as a station for outdoor adventure ministry.  The third location includes counseling offices where people are taught how to deal with effects of addiction, abuse, neglect and other depriving conditions.  The final location is where all the groups gather together to worship God, learn about living pure lives and encouraging each other weekly. We clearly see each of these locations being a place where people who are away from God can be welcomed, comforted and encouraged to experience the presence of the Creator in a life changing way.  This diversity of locations provides multiple entrances into one community of faith called White Water Christian Church.

Expectation - God is still speaking and acting in our world. 

Purpose - There is purpose in all of life's circumstances.

Action - Faith is a verb, not just an idea.

Risk Takers - A life of faith demands a willingness to walk into the unknown trusting that God will provide, protect and guide you.

Adventurous - We will dream big and dare to do great things.

Community - We will be authentic people who create a place where there is no need to pretend we are better or worse than our true selves.

Know God - We believe in a God who knows us and desires to be known by us.

The following is a broad outline of our beliefs as a community.

Of course, God is big, much bigger than our little words can describe. As we dialogue with one another, our understanding of God and His Word grows. If you have questions about what we believe, please feel free to contact us to dialogue and discuss as friends. info@whitewaterchristian.com.

God
We believe that God is the Creator of heaven and earth and that He created everything out of nothing. We further believe that God reveals himself to His creation in three distinct ways: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These distinct aspects of the Creator (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are a fully unified representation of the nature of the one true God.

Jesus Christ
We believe that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary and that He is fully human and fully Divine. We also believe that Christ's purpose for entering into the world as a man was to reconcile creation to its Creator (John 1:29). Because Jesus Christ is the Messiah, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him (Matthew 28:18-20).

Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is an active arm of God reaching out to humankind in order to teach the requirements of God (2 Thessalonians 2:13) and to accomplish God's purpose in our present age. We also believe that the Holy Spirit is a tangible representation of God in the life of the believer (Ephesians 1:13-14). This is for the glory of God and the benefit of the believer.

Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, written to instruct the believer in correct living (2 Timothy 3:14-17). We also believe the Bible is a living and breathing document where we are invited to encounter God and discover His nature in regards to creation.

Church
The Church is a called-out group of people that are actively teaching and baptizing new believers throughout the entire world. This group is dynamic in its organization and implementation of accomplishing the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

Salvation
Salvation is the process in which one becomes a part of the called-out believers (Church). This happens by God alone and through Christ alone. In response to God's calling, the believer acts in faith, which leads to repentance, confession, baptism and, finally, living a transformed life that honors God.

Christ's Return
We believe that Jesus will someday soon return to earth and judge all humankind. On this day of judgment everyone will acknowledge Christ as Lord (Philippians 2:9-11), and everyone who has ever lived will stand before God's throne to answer for his or her actions (Revelation 20:11-13). At this time there will be two types of people: those who are accepted by God and those who are rejected by God (Matthew 25:31-46).
