Welcome! Thanks for visiting ClashChurch.com. ClashChurch, led by Senior Pastor Doug Giles, is an energetic church that meets you right where you are. Whether you are just curious about church and God or you're a committed Christ-follower, you are welcome here.
At ClashChurch we believe that Jesus Christ not only forgives our sins and gives us a fresh start, but that He also empowers us to live above the stuff that tries to keep us down. Our church is a place where you can leave your past behind and embrace your present God-given purpose in life. People--just like you--are discovering their new beginning in every area of life: spiritually, emotionally, physically, financially and in their families.
If you live in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale, or you are visiting our beautiful area and you're looking for a Christian Church, TeamClash & I would like to invite you to join us for one of our high voltage one-hour worship services.

Senior Pastor Doug Giles, a Communicator and Silver Microphone Award winning chatterbox, communicates in a way that speaks to today's culture. Doug focuses on how to apply Christ's teachings to our lives so we each can experience God's incredible purpose each and every day. The music wraps the weekend message in a relevant way with a diversity of styles chosen for one purpose--to prepare your heart for what God has in store for you.

Do you have something for students?
Yes, we do: namely, our main worship service and our Senior Pastor. Giles, though 43 years old, is still in touch with his inner teenager. The way Pastor Doug lives and communicates, coupled with his constant contact with our current culture make him a favorite for young people seeking truth. Giles has uniquely bridged the communicative gap between young adults and the more chronologically mature audience.

Our Purpose and Beliefs
Our Purpose
The vision for ClashChurch is simple. We exist to Reach Up, Reach Out and Reach In--the three biblical mandates of the local church.
Reach Up
We work hard to provide an exciting and God-honoring environment for worship. When we worship God, we express our love to Him. What an honor it is to humbly come before the Creator of the Universe. All of us are wired for worship, and the only way we can express true love to God and worship Him is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Reach Out
Another key purpose of ClashChurch is to reach out to people who are outside the family of God. Every day, we rub shoulders with so many people who are just an invite away from a life-changing encounter with Christ. We encourage you to invite your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to attend ClashChurch so that they will hear and understand what it means to be a follower of Christ.
Reach In
We also exist to help you as a Christ-follower grow in your spiritual maturity and become solid followers of Christ. Because the Christian life is one of constant growth and development, we are focused on providing biblical principles that can be applied to everyday life. We want to help you move from being a dull bystander to an active player in the game of life.
What We Believe
God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14
Man
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates man from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2
Eternity
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; I John 2:25 & 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5 & 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13
Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6 & 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
Eternal Security
Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security.
John 10:29; II Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25 & 10:10-14; I Peter 1:3-5
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13 & 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:12 & 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
The Bible
The Bible is God's Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; II Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160 & 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
