Our Church Vision Bible Based "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (II Tim.3:16-17) Christ Centered “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ & Him crucified” (I Cor.2:2) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for Jew first & also for Greek” (Rom.1:16) Faith Focused “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: The just shall live by faith“ (Rom.1:17) “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (He.11:6) Family Friendly “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (Pr.22:6) “So they said: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ & you will be saved, you & your household” (Acts 16:31) Grace Grounded “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Eph.2:8-9) “If by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace & of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ” (Rm. 5:17) God Glorifying “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph.5:19) “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Col.3:16) Missions Minded “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matt.28:19) “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8) Outreach Oriented “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some” (I Cor.9:19-22) Spirit Sensitive “Do not quench the Spirit” (I Thes.5:19) “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (II Cor.3:17) Truth Teaching “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth” (III John 4) “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
