Who We Are
Our Purpose Statement
The purpose of our church is summarized in a single sentence and based on two key scriptures:
“A GREAT COMMITMENT TO THE GREAT COMMANDMENT AND THE GREAT COMMISSION WILL GROW A GREAT CHURCH!”
The purposes of our church are also highlighted in these two statements of Jesus.
Matthew 22:36-40
The Great Commandment:
“Jesus said, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart…soul…and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 28:19-20
The Great Commission:
“Jesus said, Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to do everything I have commanded you.”
- To “Love God with all your heart” is “WORSHIP.”
- To “Go…make disciples” is “EVANGELISM.”
- To “baptize…” is to “incorporate into FELLOWSHIP.”
- To “teach them to do” is “DISCIPLESHIP.”
- To “Love your neighbor as yourself” is “MINISTRY.”
