Church of Christ...
Our Mission &
Goals
..................................................................................................
The church exist as
God's people divinely called
and redeemed through Christ
to live Spirit empowered
lives that seek to glorify
God. Our mission is God's
calling to be participants
in kingdom living (Matthew
5-7; John 13:34-35) and in
the ministry of
reconciliation
(2 Corinthians 5:11-21;
Matthew 28:18-20). Our
mission focuses us on......
 |
Upreach: We
believe our
assembles and
worship to God
should reflect the
character of God and
bring glory to Him
(Hebrews 10:19-25). |
|
Inreach:
We
believe
every member
is vital to
the body of
Christ and,
therefore,
must be
engaged in
ministry to
attain "the
whole
measure of
the fullness
of Christ"
(Eph.
4:13b). |
|
Outreach:
We believe
that the
need for
evangelism
is seen in
the human
condition -
"For all
have sinned
and fall
short of the
glory of
God" (Romans
3:23) Our
purpose -
being the
church of
God's intent
(Eph. 3:10)
- is to seek
and save the
lost (Luke
19:10) |
|
|
Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
|
Values are the
deeply held
principles that
guide the heart and
dictate behavior.
They are the very
core of our being
and will determine
the relationship
health we share with
our God, one another
and the world.
Jesus teaches us,
"For where your
treasure (what you
value) is, there
your heart will be
also" (Matthew 6:21)
Core values should
be guided by divine
principles. These
divine principles
are eternal,
enlightening,
empowering, and will
enrich your heart if
you choose wisely
(Matthew 6:19-24). |
