Everything about Who We Are and What We Do Flows from ONE Source:
The Gospel.
The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners by living the perfect life we never could, dying the atoning death we deserved, on the Cross, and rising triumphantly from the grave three days later!
Jesus' resurrection proves that He is God and graciously offers the hope of eternal life to anyone who will place their trust in Him as Savior and Lord!
(John 3:16-17, 1 Timothy 1:15, 1 Corinthians 15:1-7, Ephesians 2:1-10, Colossians 2:13-14, Romans 1:16, 10:9-13)
We Exist to Make Disciples Who...
- Seeing the Bible as the ‘Story of God’ and seeing ourselves in the story
(Acts 2:42-47, 2 Peter 1:1) - Receiving Jesus for who He is: Lord, Savior, and King of God’s Kingdom
(John 1:29, John 11:25-27, Hebrews 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-20) - Entrusting our lives to God for the advancement of His Kingdom
(Matthew 6:9-13, 33, 1 Peter 4:19, Psalms 25:4-5)
- An inseparable union with Jesus
(John 15:4-5, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 2:6-7) - Drawing from and applying the word of God, daily
(Proverbs 16:20, 2 Peter 1:3-4, 2 Timothy 3:16-17) - Walking prayerfully in the leadership of the Holy Spirit
(1 Thessalonians 5:17, Matthew 26:41, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 4:2, Philippians 4:6-7) - Placing complete faith in the sovereignty and provision of God
(Romans 8:28, James 1:17, Hebrews 11:1)
- The natural expression of our love for Jesus
(Luke 6:46, John 14:15,21, 1 John 5:2) - Our joyful response to the hope and promises of the gospel
(Ephesians 2:8-10, Philippians 2:12-13, Hebrews 5:9, 2 Corinthians 10:5) - Our grace-driven commitment to fulfilling the Great Commission motivated by the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40, Matthew 28:16-20)
We Celebrate When Those Disciples...
TO MEETING OFTEN IN BIBLICAL COMMUNITY!
Hebrews 10:24-25
[24] And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, [25] not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
THEIR CHURCH FAMILY CONSISTENTLY!
1 Peter 4:10-11
[10] As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: [11] whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
CHEERFULLY AND REGULARLY TO THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH!
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
[6] The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. [7] Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. [8] And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
IN ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH!
2 Timothy 2:1-2
[1] You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, [2] and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
THEIR FAMILIES TO LOVE AND FOLLOW JESUS!
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
[5] You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [6] And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. [7] You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
A ‘SENT’ LIFE OF MAKING MORE DISCIPLES!
Acts 1:8
[8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
We Strive to Cultivate a Culture Characterized by...
Gospel-Centrality
We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is not just the initial means of our salvation but also the foundation and ongoing motivation for every aspect of our lives. We make the gospel central to all our preaching, teaching, ministry, and missional efforts because it is not only the historical message of Jesus’ perfect life, atoning death, and triumphant resurrection; it’s also the transformative power that shapes our identity as children of God.
Biblical-Culture
We believe that the Bible is the sufficient and inerrant Word of God. As such, it is our ultimate authority and guide for all aspects of life together as Jesus’ church. In faithful obedience, we strive to create a culture characterized by grace and truth. This happens primarily in a community of care, equipping, accountability and unity around a common commitment to fulfilling the Great Commission.
Kingdom-Focus
We believe that as Jesus’ church, we are a ‘sent’ people, called to participate in Jesus’ mission to reconcile the world to Himself. As such, we seek to be outwardly focused, actively engaging with the world around us and not just focusing on our own internal concerns. This includes evangelism and performing acts of love, justice, and mercy towards others, all with the goal of making disciples and advancing God’s Kingdom in the world.
Selfless-Stewardship
We believe that everything we have is ultimately a gift from God and should be used for His glory. Because of this, we aim to be good stewards of all our resources, including time, talents, and finances, using them to advance God’s Kingdom and bless others. This involves sacrificial giving, serving others, and using our spiritual gifts and talents to build up the body of Christ.
Our Strategy to Accomplish All of this is Simple...
We strive to accomplish all of this through corporate worship services on Sundays, community groups in each other’s homes, discipleship ministries throughout the week and missional opportunities throughout the year!
We would love to have you join us!
