Christ’s Church of the Jesus Hour

The Mission

To love the people of Rochester and surrounding communities into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and give to the world what God has given us, through personal witness, individual and family counseling.

We are a vibrant Christian Church which exists to give glory to God through Jesus Christ. We see ourselves as a center for Christian renewal in the lives of individuals, families and community. We are called to make disciples for Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 28: 19-20)

The Vision

We empower the poor, strengthen the weak, embrace the outcast, and seek the lost. We serve together, play together, and worship together, live life together.

We believe God has called us to reach the unchurched of our city by providing caring structures for families, providing diversity in worship, providing small caring groups, and knowledge of spiritual gifts.

We believe that small things done with great love can change the world.

(Philippians 4:13).

This is our statement of Faith and Our Beliefs taught by Christ's Church of the Jesus Hour. It is Bible based, and God inspired. 

We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.

We believe in the rapture of the church and the Second coming of Christ. 

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew 29-30)

We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.        

(Acts 3:19, Luke 24:47; Ephesians 1:7)

We believe that when an individual receives the Holy Ghost, he receives divine enablement for Christian service and witness.   

(Acts 1: 8; 2:4; 3:1 – 26; 4:5 – 12)

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost.      

(Romans 15: 16; 1 Corinthians 6:11)

We believe in Miracles, signs and wonders because God is the God of Miracles!!!                                                                   (Acts 2:22)
