Thanks for checking us out!
We understand you may have lots of questions about our church family—who we are and what we believe. We hope we can answer some of your questions with the information below and by connecting with you personally!
Who we are
We are a group of imperfect people seeking to know and love Jesus. We keep things simple at Mount Comfort, and as those who have received God’s grace and mercy, our desire is to share it with each other. We are challenged to grow deeper in our devotion to Jesus Christ, and together we strive to demonstrate our faith in everyday life.
What we teach
We are committed to strong biblical teaching and accurate doctrine for the purpose of equipping the believer for ministry. On Sunday mornings, you’ll hear expository preaching (verse by verse) resulting in an accurate understanding of each passage. You will find opportunities to grow deeper in your understanding of Scripture while being firmly established in faith.
What we do
Our beliefs and who we are as a church serve as the foundation for what we do. Our mission statement of “Knowing Jesus and Making Him Known” sums up what we do as a church body, and we carry out this mission by loving God, loving others, and reaching the world.

What we believe
Mount Comfort Church is non-denominational, pre-millennial in hope, and both evangelistic and missionary in emphasis. The Bible is our sole source of authority as the written Word of God and therefore guides us in faith (what we believe) and practice (what we do). See our full Statement of Faith below to learn more about our beliefs.
Statement of Faith
We believe in the verbal inspiration and infallibility of the original Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness” - 2 Timothy 3:16
There is but one living and true God, but in the unity of the God-head there are three Persons of one substance, power, and eternity; equal in all divine attributes: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
"...in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit"- Matthew 28:19
“The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.” - Luke 1:35
“For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.” - Hebrews 4:15
We believe Jesus voluntarily died on the cross for all who will accept, by faith, salvation through His shed blood for the forgiveness of sin.
““For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God” - Ephesians 2:8
““For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” …. “And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” - Hebrews 9:13-14, 22
We believe in the necessity of regeneration (being born again) by the Holy Spirit for salvation, in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and in spiritual unity of believers.
"...in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit"- Matthew 28:19
“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” - John 3:3
“for the Holy Spirit will teach you…” - Luke 12:12
“And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment” - John 16:8
We believe in Jesus' bodily resurrection from the dead, and ascension to the right hand of God where He makes intercession for the saints.
“…who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.” - Romans 8:34
We believe in the pre-millennial second coming of Christ Jesus. That is, that Jesus will return literally to the earth to reign one thousand years.
“…and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” - Revelation 20:4
We believe in the immortality of the human soul, the resurrection of the human body, and in a literal heaven and a literal hell.
“Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.” - John 5:28-29
“Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.” - Luke 16:22-23
We believe water baptism to be an ordinance ordained of God, as an act of individual obedience to God. Water baptism is NOT essential to salvation, but is necessary for Christian obedience whenever possible to be administered. It gives outward expression of our having accepted Christ as Savior and Lord. Baptism shall be administered by immersion and shall be administered to believers who so desire.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” - Matthew 28:19
“…those who had received his word were baptized.” - Acts 2:41
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
“As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” - Acts 8:36-37
Communion (or the “Lord's Supper”) is an ordinance ordained of God for His people, in which they show forth, in remembrance, His sacrificial death "til He comes again." Our Communion services are "open" to all self-examined, born-again Christians.
“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” - 1 Corinthians 11:26
“But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.” - 1 Corinthians 11:28
