Church PURPOSE MISSION VISION VALUES
God
calls people
to Himself
and causes
them to grow
into the
likeness of
Jesus. We
expect to
see people
brought from
spiritual
death to new
life and to
see growth
in those who
are alive in
Christ. All
this happens
by the
Spirit and
the
Word.
God
chose His
people
before
creation and
He gives
them
forgiveness
and a
perfect
record
through
faith in
Christ. We
are His
beloved not
because we
are good,
but because
of His
saving
grace. We
insist that
this grace
is not just
for the
beginning of
the
Christian
life. Our
ongoing walk
of obedience
by the
Spirit is
built on
continual
repentance
from sin and
enjoyment of
our standing
as sons and
daughters
through
Christ’s
righteousness
and atoning
blood.
A
local church
can be very
busy without
significant
kingdom
advancement.
Jesus
promised the
church
greater
works than
His own and
lasting
fruit as we
remain in
Him and ask.
When we ask,
we can
expect the
Father to
give the
Spirit and
kingdom
fruit. The
lasting
impact of
our ministry
is that done
by the Word
and Spirit
in response
to
prayer.
Jesus
gave the
Church
marching
orders.
Everything
must come
back to
seeing the
nations
believe and
obey Jesus
Christ. This
does not
mean we will
impose
pressured
evangelistic
methods.
However we
insist that
every
believer,
experiencing
the joy of
salvation,
will have an
outward,
welcoming,
hospitable
mindset,
seeking to
bring others
into contact
with Christ
through the
ministry of
the local
church.
Since
we have
received
such a great
salvation,
our lives
and meetings
will be
filled with
worship. We
expect God
to meet with
us as we
gather to
pray, sing,
participate
in the
sacraments
and hear the
Word
preached and
taught.
We
are one body
with unity
of the
Spirit in
the bond of
peace. While
focusing on
the mission
of the
church, we
will
encourage,
support and
love one
another.
Each person’s
unique gifts
are
indispensable
for the
proper
functioning
of the whole
body. |
