Jesus gave His followers "authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness" (Matthew 10:1). He also gave us this command: "...go make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." In the same command Jesus wisely gave us a promise when He said: "...and lo I am with you always, even unto the ends of the age." (Matthew 28:19, 20).
Christ's Church exists to serve people who are looking for the life He offers them. As His followers our church is committed to serving people in four ways:
LOVE - Building bridges of trust through friendship, invitations to join a Community Group, our Worship Service or a special event designed with "skeptics & seekers" in mind (John 4:35-38).
HEAL - Restoring trust through prayer and counseling, caring for and meeting felt needs, offering emotional healing and spiritual deliverance from life-long hurts, addictions and sins (Luke 4:18-19).
TRAIN - Teaching people how to become whole-hearted followers of Jesus Christ and to love and lead others into His Kingdom life (Colossians 1:28).
SEND - Empowering followers of Jesus Christ to mentor and care for others by developing them into leaders and lovers of others who reach out to their community and around the world with God's love and power (2 Timothy 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12). |
