Scripture Ephesians: 1:7-8a: “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us.”
In our brief exploration titled “The Gifts We Received From The Cross,” we are highlighting the invaluable gift of “Redemption.” This term has its roots in the era of slave markets, where individuals were bought and sold. When someone purchased a slave and subsequently granted them freedom, that act was referred to as "redemption." For those of us who are in Christ, the wonderful truth is that we have experienced this redemption. The cost of our liberation has already been settled. No matter what binds us or hinders our ability to live joyfully and abundantly, we have been set free! Through the precious blood shed on the cross, Jesus has paid the price for our sins and fulfilled the requirements of divine justice, thereby reconciling humanity with God. This is indeed an uplifting love message of great hope. ~ BC

Romans 5.10 “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!”
In our ongoing mini-series, “The Gifts We Received From The Cross,” let us explore our third blessing, “Divine Reconciliation.” To reconcile means to create a changed relationship, bringing together two parties meant to be united. Our sinful actions disrupted our bond with God, but through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross, our sin debt is paid in full. Those who accept Jesus as their Savior experience a profound divine reconciliation. The feelings of hostility and separation dissolve, transforming former adversaries into friends of Christ. Wow! What a gracious accomplishment by Jesus on the cross—what an inspiring thought! ~ bc

Hi! We are Sutter Community Church

What We Believe

We believe:

God is the Creator and ruler of the universe. He exists eternally in three personalities: the Father, m the son, and the Holy Spirit. Ther is one God in three persons.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God who lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return to earth again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

 The Holy Spirit is Equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make us aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides Christians with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. We seek to live under His control daily. 

The Bible is God’s Word to all people, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

Mankind is made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although people have tremendous potential for good, they are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude separates people from God.

Salvation is by grace, through faith. It is a gift from God to all people. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. We are saved from sin’s penalty by trusting in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice as God’s offer of forgiveness. We show our faith publicly through baptism. 

Eternity is how long we were created to exist with God. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him is heaven. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence. 

The Church is the body of Christ on earth. It exists to communicate the good news of new life in Jesus Christ to the world, to teach His followers to obey His teachings, and to equip His followers for ministry. The church is made up of those who have placed their faith in Christ. 


Our Purpose

Our purpose is to love people one at a time enabling them to know God through a personal relationship with Christ, equipping them through spiritual growth to love others and then empowering them to reach their world for Christ

GIVING to Sutter Community Church

Tithe and Giving

"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the Lord of Heaven's Armies, " I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in. Try it! Put me to the test!" Malachi 3:10

Generosity Challenge

We invite you to jump into our Generosity Challenge. Generosity is one area God says to test Him in; this challenge is a concrete way to do just that. The challenge officially starts once you start giving to God consistently in a trackable way. We believe God is after something way more valuable than your money. God is after your heart.

One Time Gift: An amount God puts on your heart.

A Percentage: A set amount based on percentage less than 10% of income. 

Tithe: A set amount of 10% of your income.

Tithe Plus: A set amount above your normal tithe.
