Purpose

A purpose statement sets forth the reason for the church's existence. It communicates what the church hopes to accomplish as a result of its ministries. The purpose of WPCC is:

Loving God, Loving People

WPCC will love God by loving people with CARE. We will connect with people to affirm God's love of them, helping to release them from the bondage of sin and establish them in the Body of Christ!

                     What We Believe

Inerrancy of Scripture

The Scriptures are God's revelation to mankind.  All scripture is God inspired, inerrant in the original manuscript, and authoritative in faith and practice. (2nd Timothy 3:16; Matthew 5:18; and 2nd Peter 1:21).

Godhead

The living eternal and true God is one who exists in three (3) persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  (Deuteronomy 6:4; and 2nd Corinthians 13:14).

Jesus Christ, Son of God

The Lord Jesus Christ is eternal God second person of the Godhead and all things were created by Him,     through Him and for Him.  We believe in His virgin birth, real humanity, real Deity, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and literal return to earth.  (Colossians 1:16; John 1:1; Luke 1:34-35; Hebrews 10, Hebrews 1:6-9; 2nd Corinthians 5:21; Mark 16:6; 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18; Acts 1:11).

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who convicts, regenerates, indwells, baptizes into the body of Christ, and seals all believers.  (John 16:8; John 3:6; 14:16; 1st Corinthians 12:13; John 14:26; Ephesians 1:13; 4:30; and Acts 1:8, Romans 8:9).

Sinful State of Mankind

Mankind was created in innocence and fell into sin through disobedience which resulted in the need of salvation for all mankind (Genesis 3:1-23; Romans 3:23; 5:12; 6:23; 7:18).

Salvation

The only remedy to mankind's sin has been accomplished through the finished work of Christ, and must be personally received, by grace, as a gift through faith.  Mankind is saved for good works that God prepared before hand.  (Acts 15:11, Romans 5:12; 6:23; 7:18; John 1:12; Ephesians 2:5-10; 2 Timothy 1:9).

The Church

The Church is the body of Christ comprised of all those who have been "Born Again" by faith in Jesus Christ. Its mission is to equip each born again believer within the Church to make disciples and present the Gospel to all nations.  (Ephesians 5:23-32; Colossians 1:18; John 3:3; Matthew 28:19-20; and 1st Corinthians 1:15-17).

We believe that the establishment and continuance of the organized local church is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament scriptures.  (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11).

Resurrection

The believer will be bodily resurrected into the eternal presence of God, while all unbelievers will endure separation from God and conscious eternal torment with satan and his demons.  (1st Corinthians 15:51-55; Revelation 20:20:11-15; Romans 8:31-35; Luke 16:19-31; Revelation 20:10-15).
