SIERRA CHRISTIAN CENTER
ASSEMBLY OF THE FIRST BORN

They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were killed with the sword. They
wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented-- of whom the
world was not worthy… But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is
not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them…Therefore we also, since we
are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so
easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God...because of His great
love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the
heavenly places in Christ Jesus…You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the universal gathering and
assembly of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just
men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant.      Eph 2 & Heb 11,12:


                      JESUS IS THE HEAD AND WE ARE HIS BODY

Sierra Christian Center is a vehicle used by the assembly for the furthering of the gospel here in the greater
Auburn area. It is where we meet to corporately praise and worship God our Father through Jesus Christ our
Lord. And to minister to one another from the fullness of His Spirit that He has placed within us.

When?      Sundays at 9:00 AM for teaching/Bible study 10:30 for Body life according to I Corinthians 14:26
               When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a  tongue,
               has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
                
Where?     In various homes and public buildings; call for the current site (530)885-LOVE (5683)

Why?        Because JESUS IS LORD!

  • We believe it is by grace through faith in God’s abundant mercy, as revealed in the death and
    resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we are saved. Being born again not of the flesh but by the Spirit and
    through His Spirit we are grafted into the church from the Greek ekklesia meaning those called out of
    the world to assemble in Christ.
.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of all principality and all power, and the one and the only
    head over all things to the ekklesia best translated assembly which is His body the very fullness of Him
    who fills everything everywhere.

  • We believe that this mystery concerning Christ and the assembly, was not made known to the sons of
    men in ages past, even the prophets of Israel could not comprehend it. And yet the assembly has been
    the eternal purpose of God even from before the foundation of the world. To this day, it is still only
    understood by revelation, and it is this revelation of the mystery of Christ, that is the rock upon which  
    Christ is building His assembly.

  • We believe that according to the measure of His grace each one of us has been equipped with spiritual
    gifts which He intends for us to use to the building up of one another, until we all come into the unity of
    the faith unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

  •    We believe that He has placed in His body some that are apostles, some prophets, some evangelists
    and in the local assembly some shepherds and teachers. These are never to be exalted for they are not
    the rulers of, but rather servants whose purpose is to serve the body laboring until each individual
    member is completely equipped for the work of ministry.

  •    We believe that all of Scripture is inspired by God and is  profitable unto us for doctrine, for
    reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness. It is the measuring rod by which all
    teaching, all prophetic utterance and all practices of fellowship must be judged.
