Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
Acts 20:28 (ESV)
Salvation
now justly forgiven and reconciled to God,
that we might worship and glorify Him forever.
All glory belongs to God!
To the GLory of God Alone!
revealing Jesus as Lord and Savior.
The Bible is the supreme authority over tradition,
extra-biblical revelation, or worldly wisdom.
According to Scripture Alone
and was raised again to life.
There is salvation in no other person or work.
In Christ Alone
initiating, keeping, and completing our salvation.
Is by Grace Alone
not our works or merit.
Through Faith Alone
Local Church Ministry & Mission
when in a covenant relationship with Him,
we live as witnesses for Jesus -
being in the world, but not of the world.
Therefore, what we do
must first proceed
from who we are
as God's holy people.
The Church's identity is prioritized
to inform Her activity.
Regeneration * Baptism * Covenanted Membership * Biblical Theology * Discipleship * Maturity
God continues His purpose and mission
in the world through His Church:
God's people - God's way.
The gates of Hell will not prevail.
The Church belongs to God,
is Christ's to build,
and the Spirit's to gift, empower and lead.
Faith requires unceasing prayer and
total obedience to God's revealed word.
Leadership * Pastors * Discipline * Accountability * Fellowship * Prayer * Ministry * Mission
God's Spirit empowers God's Church
to obey God's Word.
Only a Spirit-led, Word-based ministry
will be effective, pleasing to God, and Gospel advancing.
We submit all things,
including our traditions and experiences,
continually to God's Word,
Always reforming - returning to Scripture.
In so doing,
we reject all measures of worldly success,
popular schemes, and pragmatism.
God's ways are higher than our ways.
God's word is living, active, totally sufficient, and true.
Expository Preaching * Teaching * Equipping * Gospel * Worship * Evangelism
The Church of God Exists
To Be God's Witnesses, Who do God's Will, As Revealed in God's Word.
