Our beliefs
Cincinnati Church firmly holds to the core gospel principles of historic, orthodox Christianity. And in a day when religion has commonly become more focused on the creature than on the Creator, we believe in a God who is infinitely able to save his people from their sins, who is infinitely sufficient to satisfy their deepest needs, and who is therefore infinitely worthy of their praise and everlasting worship.
We believe that God has revealed himself to us in the Bible and so the Bible alone is the source of our faith and our practice. We believe that God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit form the perfect Trinity and that each person of the Trinity is vitally engaged in the work of salvation. Once this salvation is accomplished, it will evidence itself as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
We see every member of the church in the Christ-imitating and Christ-honoring role of a servant. We are to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ out of gratitude for what he has done for us, and to glorify him in every detail of our lives.

Jeremiah Bass - Senior Pastor
Before coming to Cincinnati, Jeremiah was in Texas, where he was a bi-vocational pastor as well as a teacher of mathematics at Tarleton State University for ten years. He is married to his wonderful wife, Sarah, and together they have six children (Isaac, Noah, Claire, Aiden, Anna, and Emma). He blogs at www.space-fillingthoughts.com, and loves to read and think about theology, history, philosophy, math, and science. But his heart is primarily for the pastorate and his desire is to see God’s word growing God’s people for God’s glory.
One of many favorite verses: Psalm 46:1-2, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains shake with the swelling therefore.”
One of many favorite books: Redemption Accomplished and Applied by John Murray.

Joe and his wife Ruth live on an old farm in the rolling, forested hills of southeastern Indiana. They have two grown daughters and six grandchildren with whom they love to spend time and to encourage in the Lord. A favorite verse is John 17:17—Jesus prayed to the Father: “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” May our church clearly teach, live, rejoice, and be thankful in the word of God.
