Relying on the Holy Spirit, we will be disciples who Love God Radically, Serve Others Compassionately, and Lead People To Jesus.
Our Vision…
We envision being a church where broken people can experience the unconditional love of Jesus through outstanding environments… where people can grow in grace with one another through transformational connections… and where everybody participates in bringing the Kingdom of God to Liberty Township and beyond through missional engagement.
Our Values…
Grace and Truth
We believe the best way to love people is by sharing biblical truth while showing unconditional grace. We hold onto the tension of both because that was the way of Jesus.
Growth
We believe life is a spiritual journey of pursuing more of Jesus. Growth happens best in the context of community where we can worship, study, pray, and serve together.
Generosity
We believe radical generosity is normal behavior for everybody who follows Jesus. We give in a way that only makes sense in light of God’s grace.
Community
We believe life is best lived in authentic relationships where we can be known, loved, encouraged, and cared for by others because discipleship is a “we” experience, not “me” experience. Everybody needs somebody because nobody should walk alone.
Family
We believe family is the foundational community. Regardless of a family’s shape, we’re all shaped by family, and so we make strengthening and resourcing families a priority.
Engagement
We believe every follower of Jesus is called and equipped to be fully engaged in the mission of making disciples. To that end, we exercise our spiritual gifts, relational capital, and personal proximity to be good news to the people around us.
Our Beliefs…
We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. • Matthew 3:16 & 17 • John 14:9 & 10
We believe God is the creator of man and of all things. • Genesis 1:1 • Acts 17:24-28
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles and His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return to power and glory at some point in the future. • John 3:16 • Matthew 1:18 • John 20:24-31
We believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian. • John 16:5-15
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith. • Romans 15:4 • Hebrews 4:13 • 2 Timothy 3:16
We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ. • Acts 4:12 • Romans 3:23 • I John 1:7
We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sins) comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (his death on the cross). • Matthew 26:28 • Romans 5:8-11 • Ephesians 2:8-9
We believe the Bible teaches that the pattern to follow Jesus is to believe He is God’s Son and Savior of the world, to confess Him as Lord, to repent of personal sin, and to be immersed in baptism.
• Luke 24:45-47 • Acts 2:38 • Romans 6:1-7 • Romans 10:8-10 • 2 Peter 3:9
We believe that the church is the body and bride of Christ, founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere. • Matthew 16:13-18 • Acts 2:14-47
We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God. • Romans 8:10-11 • Daniel 12:2 • John 6:47
