Salvation Through Jesus Christ: Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin. God provides salvation for all who believe and accept His free offer of forgiveness. Mankind’s only hope of redemption from the fallen sinful state is through the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son–blood that was shed as Jesus died on the cross. [The account of the crucifixion of Jesus is recounted by four of His contemporaries: Matthew (chapter 27), Mark (chapter 15), Luke (chapter 23), and John (chapter 19).] (Luke 24:47; John 3:3,16,17; Rom. 8:16; 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8,9; 4:24; Titus 2:11-12; 3:5-7)

Divine Healing: Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. (Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit: All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefore should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all believers in the early Christian church. With the experience comes the provision of power for victorious Christian living and productive service. It also provides believers with specific spiritual gifts for more effective ministry. The baptism of Christians in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues (unlearned languages) as the Spirit of God gives them audible expression. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 2:4; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31)

The Second Coming of Christ: All Christians who have died will one day rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air. Christians who have not yet died will be raptured or caught up with them, to be with the Lord. Then Christians of all ages will live with God forever. The scriptural truth of the Lord’s soon return is "the blessed hope". (Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessa­lonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13)

Protestant: C.S.T. is a Protestant fellowship. We believe each person may commune directly with God based on Jesus' death on the cross. This provides a personal and meaningful relationship with Him. While we are less formal in our worship to God than many protestant denominations, C.S.T is very similar in faith, with the exception of its Pentecostal doctrine (Hebrews 4:14-16; 6:20; Ephesians 2:18).

Trinitarian: Like most Christian groups C.S.T. believes God exists in three persons -- the Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. We believe all three are alive and at work today. C.S.T. also believes this God of three persons is the one and only true God (Matthew 28:9; Luke 3:22; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

Evangelical: C.S.T. is distinguished as such because it places high priority on the inspiration of Scripture and its mission to bring the lost to a saving knowledge and relationship with Jesus Christ.

Pentecostal: C.S.T. is a full gospel church—one where the fullness of the Holy Spirit is welcomed, nurtured, and taught. This includes speaking in tongues as the initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Other manifestations of the Holy Spirit embraced by the church include: messages in tongues with interpretations, prophecies, word of knowledge, and the complete offering of the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit as indicated in the Bible. If you’ve wondered what a Pentecostal service is like, we invite you to observe and experience God’s joy and peace that defy description. And when you visit again, come expecting. Expect a move of God not only in the service, but also in your life. We think you’ll agree that the comfort, help and strength He gives are better experienced than explained.

C.S.T. solely promotes the King James Version Bible.

Does C.S.T. have a dress code?

When attending a service one should dress in a manner that one would at any church service, after-all, this is a worship service, a communal experience. What does that mean exactly? Let us remember that a person never dresses in a way that would make themselves the center of attention-or a reason for comment.  That being said; dress soberly and somberly. As with any [religious community] whatever its faith or affiliation, has its own undecreed "dress code". 

If one is taking a public role (an usher, a reader, or a leader of the congregational music) in the service the Gentleman are to be dressed soberly, somberly, conservatively as becoming a Gentleman. The Ladies are to be dressed soberly, somberly, conservatively, feminine, that is; dressed in a conservative Blouse & Skirt and/or a Dress "which becometh women professing godliness" The Bible tells the Gentlemen that they are never to be effeminate (Deuteronomy 22:5); likewise the Bible speaks to the Ladies in that they are to never wear apparel pertaining to a man and to dress modest. (1Timothy 2:9)

What if I'm late for a service at C.S.T.?

Simply wait for a suitable pause in the service before slipping, as  inconspicuously as possible, into a pew at the back. We suggest arriving 10 minutes before the service.

I'm a Doctor, carry a Beeper and a Mobile Phone, can I worship at/with C.S.T?

Absolutely!  Here is the rule of thumb. A Doctor can leave their Beeper with an Usher and/or switch it to the silent setting. All others would normally leave them at home, leave them secured in their vehicle, or at the very least switch off the Beeper and place Mobile Phone on Airplane Mode.
