What We Believe

REBIRTH believe in the complete, verbal inspiration of the Bible, both Old and New Testament, fully inerrant in the original autographs, as the Word of God, and that it is the supreme and only authority in all matters of faith and conduct.  (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

REBIRTH believes that God subsists eternally in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.  (Matthew 3:16, 17; 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 10:30; Acts 5:3,4)

REBIRTH believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in His life, true God and true man (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Colossians 2:9; Philippians 2:5-8). He died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried, and that He arose the third day” bodily (1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Luke 24:39).  Believe in His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, imminent, pre-tribulation return to rapture His church. And further believe in His visible, pre-millennial, return to the world according to His promise (Acts 1:11; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:1-11; Matthew 24:24-29; Jude 14; Revelation 19:11-21).

REBIRTH believes that the Holy Spirit regenerates, baptizes, indwells and seals the believing sinner at the moment of conversion. He sovereignly gives gifts to every believer for service. (I Corinthians 3:16; 12:11, 12; 13:8-11; Ephesians 4:30; John 3:5; Hebrews 2:1-4).  And that God does hear and answer the prayer of faith, in accord with His own will, for the sick and afflicted.  However, we do not believe that there is physical healing in the atonement (James 5:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15).

REBIRTH believe that all men by nature and choice have sinned; but that “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; John 3:16). And therefore, those who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ as savior are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.  Whereas those who refuse to accept Christ as savior, will be forever separated from God in hell (John 3:3, 36; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8:9; John 14:16, 17; Matthew 25:46).

REBIRTH believes in the universal body of Christ called the church (1 Corinthians 12:13, 14; Matthew 16:18).  And also believe in the establishment and continuance of local churches composed only of people who have been born again through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 14;27; 20:17, 28; John 3:3,7,16; Romans 10:9, 10). The local church is commanded to observe “till He comes” the ordinance of baptism, the observance of the Lord’s Supper, and the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to make Him Lord of their lives through obedience to His Word (Acts 2:41; 8:12, 36,38; 10:45; 1 Corinthians
11:23-26; Matthew 28:19,20).

REBIRTH believes in the working of the five-fold ministry and all gifts promised by the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:7-11; I Corinthians 14; Romans 12:3-8; I Corinthians 12:1-11)

REBIRTH believes that all believers should by precept and example lead a life free from religious heresy and habits that violate the sanctity of the body and should live daily so that others may see Christ in them (Romans 12:1,2; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20).

Our History

Celebrating Truth Ministries Fellowship was founded out of a weekly bible study in May of 2002. This bible study was designed to teach people the basic truths of the gospel. During this time Pastor Harrell believed God had placed in his heart to Pastor and plant the church in the Lake Edwards section of Virginia Beach.  And He began counseling with his Pastor and other godly men.      

In September of 2002 CTM Fellowship held its first morning celebration with 15 in attendance at 870 North Newtown Road, Virginia Beach. Our first New Member Class was held November 2002 with 12 in attendance.

Our first weekly 15 minutes radio broadcast aired June 4, 2003 Wednesday at 11:00 am on Rejoice 100.9 FM. Our first television broadcast began January 24, 2004 at 7:00 AM on ION Media PAX 49.  We can be viewed every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:30 pm and Saturday morning at 10:00 AM on ION Media PAX 49.

In December 2003 CTM moved into its new location, Greenwich Road, Virginia Beach. The church grew from 40 to 200 hundred people. In January 2008 CTM started having their Sunday services at Kempsville Middle School and Bible Studies at Newtown Elementary School to prepare for growth. And moved the administrative offices to suite 105 at the Greenwich Road location.

In the year of 2009 CTM planted its second location (one church and two locations) in Hampton Roads Convention Center , Hampton VA, it was called CTM Peninsula. Six months later CTM acquired a building at Build America Drive, Hampton VA. CTM Southside Sunday Service started at 9:00 am and Wednesday’s Bible Study at 7:00 pm. CTM Peninsula Sunday Service started at 11:30 am and Tuesday’s Bible Study at 7:00 pm.

CTM was temporarily suspended in January 2011 and relaunched by leading of the Holy Spirit, April 2016 to CTC, Celebrating Truth Community Fellowship. To God be the Glory for the Great things He has Done!!!!!!
