Purpose And Vision
Statement of Faith
We affirm that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the only basis for our beliefs.
Affiliation
The Church is autonomous and maintains the right to govern its own affairs, independent of any denomination control. Recognizing, however, the benefits of cooperation with other churches in world mission, this church voluntarily affiliates with Baptist conventions on the national, state and local levels.
Purpose
The purpose of this church is to glorify God by obeying the Great Commandments (Matthew 11:36-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). The process is designed to produce disciples of Jesus Christ which involves at least the following six categories.
1. Worship-(Celebrating) “To love God with all your heart…”(Matt. 22:36-40)
2. Ministry-(Caring) “Love your neighbor as yourself…”(Matt. 22:36-40)
3. Evangelism-(Cultivating) “Go…and make disciples…”(Matt. 28:18-20)
4. Disciples-(Communicating) “Teach them to observe…”(Matt. 28:18-20)
5. Communion-(Breaking of Bread)…(Acts 2:42)
6. Prayer-(Talking with God)…(II Chronicles 7:14)
