STATEMENT OF FAITH
WE BELIEVE
In the Holy Trinity—one God, eternally existing in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in one God, the Father, creator of heaven and earth, of all things seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father. All things were made through Him and for Him. He is true God and true man. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin, Mary. He suffered, died, was buried, and on the third day He rose from the dead. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, and He will return to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who eternally proceeds from the Father. He is Teacher, Comforter, Helper, and Giver of spiritual gifts. Through Him the saving and sanctifying works of Jesus Christ are applied to the life of believers. He is the empowering presence of God in the life of the Christian and the church. The Father has sent His Son to baptize with the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues and bearing the fruit of the Spirit are New Testament signs of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross and that He died in our place. The believer’s sins are forgiven by the shedding of His blood. We believe that healing of mind, body, soul, and spirit is available to the believer through the blood of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe in one baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the grace of God brings forgiveness and reconciliation to those who repent, as well as transformation in holiness, enabling them to live a Christ-like life. Sanctification is both a definite work of grace and a lifelong process of change in the believer brought by the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in one holy, universal church, composed of all true believers in Jesus Christ, offering fellowship and calling for service to men and women of all peoples, nations, cultures, and languages. We believe in the spiritual and ultimate visible unity of the church.
We believe that the Bible—both Old and New Testaments—is the inspired Word of God. The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself and His will to humankind, sufficient for instruction in salvation and daily Christian living. The Bible is the Christian’s rule of faith and practice.
We believe that God will ultimately reconcile all things in heaven and earth in Christ. Therefore, we look forward to new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

THE LITTLE RED SHED
931-787-2129
Crab Orchard COGOP
The Little Red Shed Community Pantry was established in 2019 to
provide food and other essentials to those struggling with hunger. It has
two locations at 756 Main St, Crab Orchard, TN 37723 and 112
Birchwood St, Pikeville, TN 37367. All items are free and both
locations are open 24/7 and anonymous.
THE GOAL
TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, LEAVE WHAT YOU DON’T
The goal of the Red Shed is to provide free food, clothing, and support
to at-risk residents of Crab Orchard. Although a few ministries provide
food boxes in the area, not all residents qualify or have the resources to
obtain adequate food. Ready-to-eat meals are vital for those who are
homeless, and lacking electricity or clean water. The Shed is open all day
every day to allow equal access to food and other necessities. We do
NOT require ID, an application, or any documentation to receive
assistance. The red storage building that houses clothes is located on
the west side of the church building, and it is always unlocked. The
refrigerator is on the sidewalk of the church on the same side.
