SERVE the Body of Christ with their gifts and talents; and
GO to reach their world with the good news of Jesus!
LOVE
God loves you and created you to have a personal relationship with Him. (Jeremiah 31:3) However, our sin broke that relationship and separated us from God. (Romans 3:23; 6:23) But God loves us so much that He made a way to restore that relationship by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to save us from our sins. (Romans 5:8) We can experience a restored personal relationship with our heavenly Father by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. (John 1:12; 3:16) As we come to know and experience the love of God personally, we are able to return that love (1 John 4:19; Matthew 22:37-38) and express it to others around us. (Matthew 22:39; 1 John 4:7-8))
GROW
Just as a healthy human child grows and develops into adulthood, a child of God must naturally grow in their knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ and mature in their faith. The result of this growth is both personal and corporate. (Ephesians 4:11-14) The catalyst for spiritual growth is the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the individual and through the Church. (Ephesians 3:16-17) As a believer grows, his resulting involvement in the life of the Church produces maturity in the Body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:15-16)
SERVE
One of the primary indicators of spiritual growth is the exercise of one’s talents and gifts through service within the Church. God has uniquely gifted each believer to fulfill a particular role in the Body of Christ. Ministry to the Body helps it to grow and function as God intended. (1 Corinthians 12:4-27) Jesus Christ is our ultimate example of servanthood. As He washed His disciples’ feet, He instructed them to “do as I have done for you.” (John 13:15) We believe that God has called each of His children into active service.
GO
As Jesus was preparing to return to His Father in heaven, He gave His followers one final command, to “make disciples.” (Matthew 28:19) As disciples of Jesus Christ, it is our privilege and responsibility to share the love of God with the world around us…those in our “Jerusalem (our own community), Judea (the area around us), Samaria (those nearby who are culturally different), and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) We do this by communicating the good news of Christ both in word and … equally important … through the way we live. Jesus said, “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
