We Care!

 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

(John 15:12)

We are called to be a caring community of believers that:

Celebrates Christ as Savior…

      Because Christ is the Head of the Church.  He has been enthroned with

      all authority and is the One to Whom all allegiance is due.  We celebrate His

      Lordship with rich tradition and heart-felt worship that penetrates the soul.  We  

      celebrate Him through the ministry of the Word that is both powerful and 

      practical.  We strive to incorporate a variety of ministry venues that invites all

      ages and people groups into the celebration experience. 

(John 4:23-24)  ²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. ²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” 

Affirms every believer…

Because Christ has a kingdom work for each of us to do.  We believe in the priesthood of the believers.  Every believer is a valuable part of the great commission.  Our goal is to help each person discover his/her spiritual gifts and equip them for ministry. 

 (Ephesians 4:11-13)  ¹¹He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. ¹²Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, ¹³until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.

Restores the hurting….

       Because Christ values ministry to those in need as if it were to

       Himself.  Our purpose is to extend, to the best of our ability, compassion and 

       care to those with physical, emotional and/or spiritual needs.   

(Matthew 25:40)  ⁴⁰And the King will tell them, “I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'” 

Evangelizes the world…

      Because the heart of Christ is missions.  Whether it is around the corner

      or around the world, God has called us to share the Good News.

 (Matthew 28:19-20)  ¹⁹Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ²⁰Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
