ABOUTUS

LUMA Bible Church by God's grace seeks to be a light in the darkness.
A lamp burning, inviting in the weary soul.
A flame of Jesus Christ's presence to a dark world.
A Word-centered community navigating the narrow path by the light of God's Spirit and Wisdom.

Our NAME

The Bible opens with God creating from nothing, speaking, commanding light to shine. The Scriptures are replete with myraid references to light as goodness, glory, understanding, vision, life, wisdom, testimony, presence, angels, God himself, the Church, Holy Spirit and on and on. Light cannot be hidden. It's presence eliminates darkness, invites the lost, and illuminates the path for navigation.

Our STORY

LUMA Bible Church is a replant of GBC Denver (Galilee Baptist Church of Denver). In 2020 the congregation of GBC voted to sell the property at 1091 Parker Road and relocate with the goal of revitalizing to be a self-sustaining, ministry-focused body of believers.

Through COVID and many other trials GBC sold the building and property and found a new home at 9033 Easter Pl. in Centennial as LUMA BIBLE CHURCH which began holding services in March of 2022.

IN ALL

TO LIVE IS CHRIST.

Jesus is not just a priority to acknowledge in worship gatherings, or a helpful fixer of religious problems. Jesus is to be first in all things for all things were made through Him, and by Him and for Him so that He might be first IN ALL things. Christ IN ALL means ALL that we do, ALL that we are, ALL that we seek is Christ IN-ALL.

FOR ALL

WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST.

Jesus is reconciling the world to himself. Making all things new FOR ALL who would repent and believe. There are no distinctions of tribe or tongue, those with or without, none are able but those who would call on Christ in faith are welcome. For the same Lord is Lord FOR ALL.

OVER ALL

JESUS IS LORD.
All power and authority belong to Jesus and he reigns OVER ALL. Jesus is Lord not just of our salvation, but even over those who disobey and rebel against His Kingdom and Kingship. We believe the reign of Jesus Christ should extend OVER ALL areas of our life, our culture, and our world as commanded in the Great Commission - "teaching them to OBEY all that I have commanded".

Our Beliefs
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

(2 Timothy 3:14-17)
OUR FAITH, OUR LIVES ARE FOUNDED ON THE ROCK, THE CORNERSTONE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: FORETOLD IN PROPHECY, REVEALED IN THE FLESH, RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE.
VINDICATED AND VICTORIOUS IN RESURRECTION.
OUR ONLY HOPE IN LIFE AND IN DEATH.

As a church we hold the Bible as the Word of God. It is the sole authority in all matters and able to make us wise for salvation and bring the saved to maturity.

God the Father is the Creator of heaven and earth and is the sovereign over creation and created beings. God freely chose for His glory and purposes to engage in creation and engage with creation. He is the giver and sustainer of all life and with the Son and the Spirit, rule. His plans and purposes cannot be thwarted. He made all things for the praise of His glory and intends for man, in particular, to live in fellowship with Himself and share in the dominion over creation.

God the Spirit is the 3rd person (not in rank or importance) of the trinity. . The Holy Spirit is the giver of life, the presence and glory of God. He convicts the world of sin, leads unto righteousness and gives wisdom. The Holy Spirit is empowering and abiding in the Church collectively as the temple of the Spirit, but also indwells all believers individually. Through the work of drawing the Spirit makes makes the proclamation of the gospel effectual to the heart of the unbeliever and regenerates them to respond in faith. The Spirit is a sign, seal and deposit on the permenant gift of eternal life. He empowers for holy living by drawing towards repentance in conviction and through the Word of God the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit exalts the work of Christ and unites believers to Father in the work and obedience of the Son. Breathing life and carrying along the writing of Scripture as well as superintending it's preservation the Holy Spirit is the essence and power of the Word.

Water baptism is instructed for those who who have received the saving benefits of Christ's atoning work. Baptism is a sign of the new covenant and a step of obedience and testimony to following Christ in death and receiving life. Baptism by immersion is significant in that it symbolizes washing of the entire person as well as illustrating death and rebirth of the disciple in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Lord's Supper (communion) is a participation in the covenant and is to be taken only by those who are members of Christ's Church. The symbolism in the elements of communion are of Christ's body broken and offered to each of us for spiritual life. And His blood which was shed atoning for the sins of world. It is to be observed whenever the church assembles reflecting our covenant union to Christ's body. In taking communion we remember and proclaim the death of Christ, receive spiritual nourishment for our souls, and signify our unity with other members of Christ's body as well as looking forward in hope to the consummation at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

We affirm the imminent, bodily return of Jesus Christ the LORD - according to the totality of the Scriptures and Christ's own testimony - He will come again, not to deal with sin, but to save all those who eagerly await, and to bring the righteous wrath of God against sin and sinners. The return of Christ is the consummation of the redemptive story and our blessed hope. Scripture affirms that the last enemy to be subdued under Christ's eternal reign as King is death itself. Christ will be the judge of all - the living and the dead - and to those whose names are recorded in the book will be granted life in the presence of God eternal. Hell, the place of wrath which was prepared for the Satan and his angels is where all those who are cut off in judgment will suffer in wrath.

We believe that Christ is LORD. He is our God and King. In the incarnation Jesus ushered in an inauguration of the Eternal Kingdom which will overturn all other empires, and kingdoms and it will be the Kingdom which covers the whole Earth as the waters cover the seas. We affirm that Christ is presently holding all power and authority and that through His body - the Church - He exercises the dominion of His Kingdom. Psalm 2 declares that the Messiah Jesus is to rule over all authorities. We affirm a Big God theology which emphasizes the sovereignty of God over all the affairs of His creation as well as the delegated rule and authority of His King - Jesus Christ. We believe Christ is For All - In All - Over All

COME TO THE TABLE

Every week as part of our gathering we come to 2 tables, 2 meals:

The table of fellowship is centered on sharing a meal of hospitality offered to all. The meal feeds our stomachs and nourishes our physical bodies. The gathering at the table of fellowship enjoins us to community around a common table all who want to join are welcome. (These meals were called love feasts in the early church.)

In our worship gathering time we come also to another table. A table that is for remembrance and hope. This table is for anyone, but not for everyone. All are freely invited to to come to Christ and join the meal of grace, but only those who come in the covenant of faith may participate. This "meal" is for the covenant family of God to celebrate our communion to Jesus and one another. This meal nourishes our spiritual needs. We do this in obedience to the commands of Christ that his disciples (the church) take communion in His name as often as we gather.

All Are Invited. Those who come. Belong.
