"The Simplicity of Christ
The highly technical, computerized society we live in has bred a generation of people who have grown program weary; who thirst ofr a fulfilling blend of reality and simplicity. We are watching the Lord develop a congregation of ordinary people who are sharing in a remarkable event: God is performing that extraordinary blend in our midst, and deeply enriching our lives by it.
1. The Word of God
We love God's Word, and the Bible is the foundation for everything taught. In a world that seeks freedom by any means, we feel privileged to offer the only true source of freedom. The only real liberty available today is through the truth that makes us free (John 8:32-36; 14:6; 17:17).
2. Spirit of God
Jesus said we should worship in spirit and in truth. For that reason, we give a large and valued place to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our worship, knowing that as the Holy Spirit moves among people, Jesus Christ will be exalted and believers edified (I Corinthians 12:4:13; 14:33; 14:6; 17:17).
Our desire is to present the beauty, blessing, and joy of knowing Jesus Christ in a personal way - as savior and Lord. Our [services] never really are impressive but hopefully they will make a lasting impression... an impression of Jesus great love.
I'm hopeful you will be ministered to and strengthened by the Lord and thereby strengthen others in the Body of Christ to more effectively reach our world with the power of the love of Christ. We understand our value to be one of presenting to a people, who are both lost and confused, a Lord who is a Savior a Baptizer, a Healer, and a Coming King. Evangelism isn't a program, but a process. It's a natural by-product of a people who are filled with the Spirit, founded on the Word, and growing in Christ.
If you're a bit dizzy from the success-oriented demands placed upon you, we invite you to clear your head for a moment and experience the simple power, great love, and simplicity of Jesus Christ our Lord.
