Who We Are

We're an ever-expanding family in Yuma, AZ.  Race, social status, income and even past mistakes play no role in our fellowship but to bring variety and excitement to our friendship.

No pyrotechnics or door prizes here.  We hold that God's glory is best displayed in the authenticity of grateful worship, the clarity of the Gospel truth and the evidence of transformed, unified lives.

We hope that you'll enjoy exploring this site and that it will give you a taste of what Jesus is doing here at Legacy.

What We Believe

God
There is only ONE God, The LORD, God is One in essence, but exists in three persons.  God reveals himself to us eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

(Deut. 6:4; Matt. 3:16-17; John 12; Acts 5; Eph. 1:1-14; 1Tim. 2:5)

GOD'S WORD
The 66 books found in the Bible are totally and equally inerrant, infallible, and are God's primary form of revealing Himself.

(2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah spoken of in the Law, the Prophets, and the Old Testament Writings.  He existed eternally with God.  He was born of a literal virgin birth.  Jesus Christ is 100% God and 100% Man, therefore deeming Him the only adequate sacrifice for the sinfulness of man.  he has ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father until his immanent return at an undisclosed time.

(Matt. 24:36; John 1:1, 4:1-4; Philippians 2:5-11)

SALVATION
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.  God by His sovereign grace reaches out to sinners providing even the necessary faith to repent and believe.  By believing the Gospel message, repenting of our sins and trusting in Him a the substitution for our sins, we are saved from the righteous wrath of God.

(John 14:5; Roman 5:1, 5:9; 2Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:8-9)

SIN
Man is totally depraved, unable to solve the problems of his sinful position or do any work that will close the gap between himself and the Holy God.

(Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:10-19)

HEAVEN
Heaven is a real place that will be the eternal resting place in addition to a new earth for those who have trusted in Christ for eternal salvation.
(Rev. 21:1)

HELL
Hell is a literal place of eternal torment for fallen angels and all who have not trusted Jesus for the pardon of their sin.

(Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20)

THE CHURCH
The Church is God's invincible design.  This body of redeemed believers is to represent his character and herald His saving message until that glorious Day of His return to claim his Church and judge all humanity.  While the Church is a global family, this family finds it's expression in local congregations which the scripture call every believer to belong to.  the Church is portrayed and described in Scripture in a many beautiful terms.  a priesthood, His bride, His body, His flock, a household, a temple, saints, and others.

(Matt 16:18-20; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 2:19-25, 4; Heb. 10:25; 1Pet. 2:9)
 
LEGACY IS PART OF THE SOVEREIGN GRACE FAMILY OF CHURCHES

KIDS

Legacy Beginnings serves children from infants to fourth grade during our 11am Sunday Worship time. Once the youngsters have joined us all for a time of family worship, the kids will be dismissed and lead out to their classrooms while the adults remain in the auditorium. Kids will enjoy a bible-centered time in a clean and safe environment with qualified staff. All of our teachers have been background checked and we have policies in place that ensure proper safety and care for your children.

WORSHIP

Through song, scripture reading, baptisms, communion meals, prayers and preaching, we make sure to give God the focus he deserves in our worship time. You'll see others smiling, shedding a tear, lifting their hands or in silent pondering. Together, we join to worship our amazing God and to enjoy a foretaste of what it will be like singing around his throne with people from every tribe, language and nation.
