Philosophy of Ministry We consider the following dynamics to be important as we seek to serve the Lord and others. Fellowship and Relationship: God has intended that His church be a warm and loving place both in terms of meeting with Him and meeting with others. Attitude and Atmosphere: We believe that Christ-like attitudes help to create an environment that is conducive to learning and making progress. Teaching and Sharing the Bible: We believe that learning to be disciples of Jesus through His Word is a challenging, positive, joyful and productive process. Ministry and Commitment: We belive that good works and service to God should be in togetherness and teamwork and should lead us to experience a satisfying and fulfilling Christian life together. Purpose and Destiny: God has good plans for our individual lives as well as for our local church. In our church we encourage everyone to commit themselves to participate in three important areas in the life and ministry of the fellowship. These areas are: Worship - This is the area in which we serve God. Work - this is the area in which we serve one another. Witness - this is the area in which we serve the world where we live. |
