To follow the Great Commandment to love the Lord our God with everything and love our neighbor (Mark 12:30-31). We believe this is done when you KNOW, LOVE, and SERVE Jesus and our neighbor!
KNOW
To recognize and be in right relationship with God and others.
LOVE
To esteem, pursue, and walk with God and others.
SERVE
To go and give to God and others.
But How?
“And He put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” – Ephesians 1:22-23
What an amazing verse! The church, His body, the FULLNESS of Christ, Who FILLS… ALL with everything and ALL! So often we focus on the organization, the buildings, the methodology but the body of Christ, the church, is SO full of everything and anything we could ever want or desire because it is full of Christ. He is the FILLER, Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We believe that our call is to make disciples of Jesus Christ that they might Know, Love, and Serve Him alone and He would FILL them with His love and life. But how do we make disciples?
Does it happen during our weekend services where we gather to hear the Word and serve one another? Or perhaps it occurs at a little smaller circle circle of our small groups, studying Gods word, praying for one another, serving with one another. Or perhaps it’s a smaller circle yet. A table for two where relationships go deep and hearts are shared, sin is confronted and love is strong. The answer is: YES, YES, YES!
Discipleship happens by the power of Christ working powerfully within His people in all three of these circles or tables. We want to each be engaged in the mission of Jesus using the gifts that we have been given to build one another up and actually make disciples as our Lord told us to do.
To do what He did!
