Our Core Values

The Word

God's word is truth; it is living and active and it transforms lives. The Gospel revealed through the living Word, Jesus Christ, and communicated in the written word, The Bible; calls us to repentance and ushers us into abundant life as we trust in Him. The word of God leads people toward spiritual maturity as the word is heard, read, studied, memorized and meditated upon. (Joshua 1:8, 2 Timothy 3:16, Romans 1:16)

Worship

Worshiping God is our response to His initiative in our lives. We worship and celebrate as we experience God working in us and through us. We worship God through prayer, writing, music, art and as we live lives that glorify Him. (Psalm 63:1-5, Romans 12:1, Phil 4:6-7, John 15:7)

Life Together

People need a community of relationships where they can be authentic, discover Truth, grow in maturity and be safely cared for as they walk through life. True community is more than a Bible study; it also includes prayer, fellowship, worship, fun, mission, and care. (Acts 2:42-47, Hebrews 10:24-25)

Missional Community

The church, as the people of God, was never meant to bunker in behind the walls of a building, but instead called to go out and penetrate culture with the Gospel. In love, the community builds authentic relationships that provide opportunities to share faith and impact culture. In faithfulness, the people use their God-given gifts to carry out the ministry of the church. (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:5-16, Colossians 4:2)

Prayer

Prayer is personal and corporate communication with God that acknowledges our complete dependence on Him. Through prayer we communicate our requests to God, confess our sins to Him and give Him adoration, praise and thanksgiving. God desires that through prayer our trust in Him will increase, that our love for Him will grow and our lives will be more aligned with His will. Finally prayer involves us in God's kingdom and redemptive activities, reminding us that converting individuals and growing churches are His work. (2 Chronicles 7:14; Matthew 11:24, 21:22; Luke 11:9-12; John 15:7; Acts 2:42; Philippians 4:6-7; James 5:16)

Our Vision

Beach Community Church exists to be a witness to the love of Christ  in the northern coastal region Guanacaste.  We do this by offering ourselves  to serve as ambassadors of Gods compassion, mercy, love, justice, and reconciliation.  Recognizing our own sinfulness and inability to fulfill this call on our own, we lean wholly on God’s grace and strength, and the guidance of his Spirit, that God might carry out his purposes in our lives– in our community– and throughout the world. 

Our Statement of Faith

At Beach Community we believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule for faith and practice.

We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existent in three separate persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God the Father is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign creator of all things.

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. We believe that He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He provided for the atonement of our sins by His vicarious death on the Cross, was bodily resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of God the Father, and ever lives to make intercessions for us.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ, that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all Biblical gifts of the Spirit.

We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness of sin are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, we believe that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

We believe in the personal, visible return of Christ to earth. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal blessing of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.

 -As an interdenominational church, we believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is God's love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.-
