At True Life, our core values are built on the belief that when I give my life to Him, I can find my True Life in Christ.
When it comes to our church community, we focus on three areas. Our mission is that each of us can completely surrender our lives to the Will of God. Our calling is to show Christ by diligently serving our community. Our desire is to live the True Life God has for us by following Jesus Christ. We want to see God move in Duncan as in Heaven.
My Life. His Life. True Life.
Pastor Dale and Lisa Beebe
Believing that every soul counts, 32 years ago, Dale and Lisa Beebe began feeling a burden for the people of South Carolina. This led to them packing everything they owned, moving themselves and their two young boys, and planting True Life Church. It has been through their leadership that True Life has established roots and has impacted the community around. The Beebe’s have grown True Life into a thriving, multi-cultural and multi-generational church in the heart of the town. Countless lives have been changed because of their willingness to serve.
Pastor Beebe is an Ordained Minister with the United Pentecostal Church International.
This is why we run a partnership coffee shop on Sundays at 9:00am and 12:30pm and Wednesdays at 8:30pm. We commit 50% of profits to missionaries we support each month.
Our heartbeat is missions.
Our Beliefs
-
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and perfectly preserved Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live (2 Tim 3.15-17).
-
There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that is, the One God manifested in and through an authentic human life. The fullness of the godhead dwells in Jesus bodily. To see Jesus is to see God. (Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16).
-
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Rom 3.23-25; 6.23; Eph 2.8-9).
-
The gospel is the good news that Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again three days later. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor 15.1-4; 2 Thes 1.8; 1 Pet 4.17; Mark 1.15; Acts 15.7; Rom 6.3-4; Acts 2.4, 37-39; 8.9-17; 10.1-48; 19.1-7).
-
As Christians we are to love God and love others. We are to worship God joyfully and seek to live a life that is pleasing to him both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, and actions. We are empowered to live a life pleasing to God through the Holy Spirit. As a Pentecostal church, we believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are at work in and for the church today and are available to all Spirit-filled believers (Mark 12.28-31; 1 Cor 12.8-10; 2 Cor 7.1; Rom 8.13-14; Gal 5.19-26; Heb 12.14).
-
Jesus Christ is coming again to rapture his church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ, and the unrighteous eternal death. (1 Thes 4.16-17; Rev 20.11-15).
