Church
The group of Jesus followers who actively participate in the Triniatrian life of God. They are resurrection people who make up the Kingdom of God and gather together to exalt God and be transformed by him.
The Church recognizes God as the subject of unparalleled importance. He is the object of our desire, and the source of our delight. Only in God can our hearts find satisfaction and rest. In light of this, the Church incorporates ways to hear from God, speak to God, and be with God through ordained pathways revealed to us in scripture:
The Gospel
The Gospel is the good news of the person and work of Jesus. It is the announcement that because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, sin and death have been defeated. The good news is that we are no longer in bondage to decay, fated for death, and separated from God. We have been invited back into the presence of the Trinitarian life of God by the Father sending the Son, the Father and Son sending the Spirit, and the union we now share through the Spirit, with the Father, in the Son. The Gospel is the story scripture tells, and each worship gathering is a new opportunity for the Gospel to confront our beliefs and renew them in light of the gracious love of God.
Praying |
The Church creates space both for personal, and corporate, conversation with God. This conversation aligns our hearts with the will of God and brings us into the work he is already doing.
Generosity
Generosity is our time to praise the Giver. All we are and have belongs to God, and generosity provides an opportunity to both honor Him with our possessions, and support the work of ministry. Each contribution is a testament to our shared calling of care, and the stewardship of our blessings.
