What We Believe

Faith, Family, and Finance: the foundation of Community Family Ministry

Since 2002, Community Family Ministry has stood on core convictions rooted in Scripture and lived out across our Huntsville community. Under the leadership of Founder and Pastor Eric Paul Creary, we've built 24 years of ministry around three essential pillars: deepening faith, strengthening families, and stewarding resources wisely. These tenets shape everything we do, why we gather, and why we serve together.

Tenet One

Who God is

Everything else we believe flows from who we understand God to be. So this is where we start, and where we keep coming back.

We believe in one God, eternal and good, who made the world and everything in it. He is not a distant force or a cosmic therapist. He is a Father who knows us by name, and who made us on purpose.

We believe this one God has always existed as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three Gods. One God, whose very being is relationship, whose very nature is love spilling outward, and whose plan from the beginning has been to draw us into that love.

If God is who the Bible says he is, nothing about our lives stays the same. Every other tenet we hold to is really just an attempt to take that first sentence seriously.

Our Foundation

What We Believe

At Community Family Ministry, we embrace a vision rooted in Faith, Family, and Finance. These six principles shape how we see God, ourselves, and one another in Huntsville and beyond.

Made In the image of God Every person, without exception, bears the dignity and worth of a Creator who designed them with purpose and care.
Known Fully and forever There is nothing about you that God has not seen, and nothing he has seen has caused him to love you less.
Honest About our struggles We are also broken people living in a broken world, and pretending otherwise has never healed anyone.
Loved Not because earned God does not love us because we got our act together. He loves us while we were still a mess.
Called Toward transformation Being loved does not leave us the same. Grace always invites us into a better, truer way to live.
Family Not just a crowd We are never just a solo story. God shapes us through one another, which is why community exists at all.

What we believe

Community Family Ministry is built on core convictions about faith, family, and financial wisdom. For over 24 years, we've centered our life together on Jesus Christ and the hope of the Gospel. Here's what shapes who we are.

  • 01

    Jesus Christ is Lord

    We believe Jesus of Nazareth was a real person in real history who lived a sinless life of love and spoke words we can still trust today. His resurrection is the foundation of everything we do.

  • 02

    The Gospel changes everything

    God's grace through Christ isn't something we earn-it's a gift freely given. When we trust that gift and live by it, it transforms how we love our families, handle our finances, and serve our community.

  • 03

    Faith shapes family and finances

    We believe these three areas-faith, family, and financial stewardship-are deeply connected. Growing stronger in one strengthens the others, and our mission is to help people flourish in all three.

  • 04

    Hope is real and worth sharing

    Since 2002, we've gathered in Huntsville to worship, learn, and grow under the leadership of Founder and Pastor Eric Paul Creary. Our hope in Christ is the reason we gather, and it's worth inviting others to discover.

Our Core Belief
"Love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. This is the foundation of everything we do at Community Family Ministry-faith, family, and financial stewardship built on these two greatest commandments."
The Great Commandment, Matthew 22
