The Word Of God
We believe in one Bible, as God's only inspired, inerrant and authoritative
revelation of Himself to man in written form (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit ( 1 John 5:7)
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1), His virgin birth
(Matthew 1:18), His sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21), His death as the only
sacrifice for the sin of the world (1 John 2:2), His bodily resurrection from
the dead (Luke 24:39),His ascension to the right hand of God as our
intercessor (Hebrews 4:14), and His future return in glory, first to rapture
His church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) and second, to establish the
kingdom of God upon the earth. (Revelation 20:6).
Sinfulness Of Man
We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and
that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness
of sins (Romans 3:23).
Access to the Father
We believe in the finality of Christ’s redemption of humanity and the
present freedom of access to the Father (1 Timothy 2:5;Hebrews 7:25).
Salvation
We believe in the new birth as the only means of receiving eternal life. The
new birth involves a cleansing and deliverance from the penalty and power
of sin. It is effectuated through faith in Jesus Christ and repentance from
sin (John 3:3,5,7; Ephesians 2:8,9; 1 Peter 1:18-20).
Healing
We believe in divine healing for the total man, spirit, mind and body and
that this healing is accomplished in the redemptive work of Christ on the
cross and appropriated in the believer’s life through prayer (Isaiah 53:5;
Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24; James 5:13-15).
Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an enduement of power for
all believers (Acts 2:4,38-39; 10:44-46; 19:1-6; Ephesians 5:18). This
baptism results in a deeper expression of spiritual fruit (Galatians
5:22,23), a greater growth in Christ-likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18), a
genuine manifestation of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-11), and a
more effective prayer life (Romans 8:26,27).
Communion & Water Baptism
We believe in the sacraments of the church established by Jesus Christ our
Lord; the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) and
water baptism by immersion as a symbol and witness of the new birth
(Matthew 28:19: 1 Peter 3:20-22).
Spiritual Growth
We believe in the process of spiritual development (sanctification) wrought
in the believer’s life by the Holy Spirit. The growth involves daily dying to
sin and living unto righteousness (Romans 6:1-23), finds expression in a
holy life (Hebrews 12:24) and will be culminated at the return of Christ (1
John 3:2).
Eternal Life
We believe in the resurrection from the dead. First, the righteous unto
eternal life and second, the ungodly unto eternal damnation (Daniel 12:2;
John 5:28,29; Revelation 20:4-6,11-15).

Family Worship Center has been a continues place where people can worship,
connect, and serve God in Pueblo, Colorado since 1954. Family Worship Center is a
part of the Church of God, founded in 1896, with headquarters in Cleveland,
Tennessee. Family Worship Center began in 1954 on East 2nd Street and remained
at that location for nine years. In 1963, Family Worship Center moved to 740 West
15th St. with Sunday morning attendance averaging about 40-50 people. Gale
Barnett was the pastor during this move and pastored Family Worship Center for
seven years, the second longest pastorate. In September of 1990, David Smith
became the pastor with the Sunday morning average about 10-15 people.
As the church grew to around 90 attendees, Family Worship Center purchased a
building at 540 Alma Ave. and held their first service in September 1994. Family
Worship Center paid off the mortgage note in October 1998. In 2004, Family
Worship Center sold 540 Alma Ave. and leased 801 West 4th Street while their new
worship center was being constructed. Family Worship Center moved into their
current new worship center in April 2008.
