Our Values
And Beliefs
Loving God
We have the opportunity to personally know a God who took the ultimate first step in loving us by sending His one and only Son.
We have experienced that love and now we live to love our God.
Life Changing
Connections
We know that when people have a true encounter with the one, true God, and with our Savior, Jesus Christ, their lives are drastically changed.
Loving People
We ourselves have experienced an outpouring of love from our Father in heaven, and we are commanded to love all those who we encounter.
Growth
We are the body of Christ:
A congregation of his followers and worshippers. We have the blessing of coming together as the Church and growing together as we experience the goodness of our God.
Reaching Others
We have been given the Great Commission: a command which tells us to spread the Gospel to the farthest reaches of this world.
We strive to make Jesus known in Lake Country and beyond.
Service
Just as the body is made up of different parts, so we, as the body of Christ, are made up of many different parts, all working together to serve God, and serve one another also.s
Our Beliefs
God Is Creator
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
The Bible Is
God's Word
The Bible is God’s word to all mankind. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
Jesus Christ Is The Son Of God
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal; with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Holy Spirit Is
Co-Equal
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make mankind aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation providing power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under his control daily.
We Are Made
In The Image
Of God
We are all made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. We are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although mankind has tremendous potential for good, we are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude separates us from God.
We Were Created To
Exist Forever
We all were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. The place of eternal separation from God is called Hell. Heaven is the place of eternal union and eternal life with God.
Salvation
Is A Gift From God
Salvation is a gift from God to mankind. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can we be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life with God begins the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our life through faith. In obedience to His command, we follow in His example to be baptized.
The Church
Is The Body
Of Christ
The church is the Body of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Head of the church. Members of the church are those who have trusted and placed their faith in the completed work of Christ.
