Sunday School Contest!
from
Resurrection Sunday to
Pentecost Sunday
To commemorate and
celebrate Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost Sunday, as well as all the days and
events in between, CAC is holding a seven-week (eight Sundays) Sunday
School contest! Join CAC in this wonderful period to renew yourself in Jesus Christ,
strengthen or establish yourself in more regular church attendance, and reach out to your
lost friends and family to encourage them to have faith, repent of their sins,
be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and be filled with the Spirit of God,
with the evidence of speaking in tongues just as the apostles and disciples did
in the Book of Acts, chapter two.

Welcome to our web.
Thank you for expressing interest in Christian Apostolic Church, where families
grow together in Jesus Christ. We follow God in power, excitement, and holiness.
We would love to meet you. Please call, click, or come by. Our
worship services are characterized by the move
of God’s Holy Spirit, marked with the anointed preaching of His Holy Word, and
always include wonderful fellowship with a broad family of believers excited
about sharing the gospel with all of
Clarksburg-Bridgeport, WV.
A Place for You
If you are serious about
serving God according to the dictates of His inspired, infallible Word, and you
are looking for a Pentecostal, Apostolic church where the power of God is
evident and the truth of God’s word is
the final authority, then CAC is the place for you. If you want to find your
place
in the kingdom of God, and you desire to serve people with the special gifts
with which God has blessed you, then CAC is the place for you to belong and
become all that God wants you to be.
CAC members come from all walks
of life, including professionals like engineers, business owners and managers,
as well as hardworking common folks. We all have one thing in common: We need
God. We all came to the same conclusions: No amount of money or worldly
possessions can bring real, lasting happiness. And we all needed deliverance
from sin by being born again of the water and Spirit, according to God’s
word (John 3:3-5, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:36-39, and many other verses). Thus we all
share the same experience of initiation into God’s
community: Faith and obedience resulting in our sincere repentance, our water
baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the receiving (infilling) of
the Holy Spirit, with the initial, physical evidence of speaking in a language
other than our mother tongue, as the Spirit of God gives the utterance.
Following that foundational experience, each CAC member pursues after peace,
holiness, the fruit of the Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit, seeking to
become a stalwart disciple of Jesus Christ.
You can join us in this miracle
of new birth, not by signing a card, but rather by being born into the
Lord’s Church by responding in faith to
the gospel of Jesus Christ. In short, the gospel (I Corinthians 15:1-4) is that:
- Jesus died for all (as a
substitution for our punishment, paying the price for our sin);
- He was buried (signifying
the death was not feigned but real, and the purchase complete);
- He was resurrected on the
third day (signifying victory over death, hell, and the grave, not for Himself
only, but also for all who follow Him in faith).
In our reply of obedient faith:
- By faith we respond to His
death by repenting (through repentance our old, sinful lifestyle dies) (see
Acts 2:38, Matthew 4:17 and 9:13, Mark 1:15, 2:17, and 6:12, Luke 5:32,
13:3-5, 15:7, and 24:47);
- By faith we respond to His
burial by being water baptized in Jesus name (see Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12, and
Acts chapters 8, 10, 19 & 22, as well as Colossians 2:12, Ephesians 4:5, and I
Peter 3:21). We become identified with Jesus Christ by taking His name upon
us. “We are buried with by baptism” (Romans 6:4).
- By faith we respond to His
resurrection by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost (see Acts 2:1-4, Acts
2:36-39, and Acts chapters 8, 10, & 19). Just as Christ received power to live
anew, so also we are endued with power to live a “new life” (a life of purity
and spiritual power) after we are filled with the Holy Spirit. “Ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you” (Acts 1:8).
“...Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).
Life magazine has noted
that the Pentecostal phenomenon of receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking with
tongues is one of the most significant events of the last hundred years.
Millions upon millions of people worldwide have now been born again according to
God’s Word. Have you? The promise of real freedom awaits those who are
ready to be free:
“For the promise is unto
you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call” (Acts 2:39).
