Our Theme
Full of Grace and Truth
We believe that grace and truth are two of the most important things that we must focus on. Today, we find many solely focusing on love, kindness, graciousness, etc., yet completely ignoring, or sometimes even changing, truth in order to “be gracious.” At the same time, there are many people who understand, believe, and fight for the truth, yet they are so mean about it and seem to hardly be doing anything outside of their church doors to serve and love others. We need to be both gracious servants of the Lord while upholding and not compromising on truth.
We want to endeavor to sacrifice our wants, time and resources in order to serve others. In the future when our church is more established and ready, we hope to have all sorts of ministries where we can serve others, and through our actions, show them the grace of Christ. Some of those ministries would be prison ministry, juvenile detention ministry, single-mothers ministry, hospice ministry, door-to-door ministry, police chaplain ministry, as well as other things such as picking up trash, encouraging and helping those who’ve lost loved ones, sending missionaries overseas to the most poor and needy people of the world, and much more.
Along with getting out there are serving the world, we want to do all in a gracious and kind spirit.
Grace
We want to endeavor to do all things according to the Word of God. Many who seek to be extremely loving and gracious tend to compromise on truth in order to accomplish their goal. We cannot do that. If God’s Word says something is wrong or right, we must obey it. We cannot change God’s Word to say what we want it to say, we must obey what it is saying in its context.
Along with this, as we seek to be full of grace, we must make sure we have a correct and true definition of what Biblical grace is. Many today tout “love” and such, but they have absolutely no understanding of what love actually is.
Lastly, in all the gracious and loving things we do, our goal is to be able to impart truths to those we’re serving. Whatever ministries we’re doing, we’ll be preaching the gospel.
Truth
This will be our theme until the coming of Christ: uplifting and balancing grace and truth. Priase the Lord for giving us an example!
