Our Mission Explained…

· A Missional Community…

Committed to gathering regularly to worship, study the scriptures, pray, fellowship, break bread and encourage one another in the hope of Jesus Christ, in order to stir one another up in love and good works and to disperse back into the world as bearers of hope where we live, work, and play.

(Acts 2:42-47, Heb. 10:23-25, Jn. 17:15-19)

· Devoted to Growing Disciples of Jesus…

Committed to living and investing in urban communities that suffer from spiritual, social and economic neglect; faithfully preaching, teaching and demonstrating the whole counsel of God and the gospel of his kingdom come.

(Matt 28:18-20, Jer 29:4-7)

· Who Are Confident in Their True Identity in Christ…

Committed to seeing Christ, by his Spirit, renew our personhood as true image-bearers of God (spiritually, mentally, emotionally and socially). In doing so, also trusting him to remove all racial and socioeconomical symptoms of inferiority and superiority in order to reflect an authentic community of unity in diversity.

(2 Cor. 5:17, Rom. 12:2, Eph. 3:10, Jas. 2:1, Rev. 5:9-10, Jn. 17)

· Are Agents of Hope…

Committed to proclaiming and demonstrating the good news of Jesus Christ and his kingdom of hope, present and eternal. We are committing to prayer and creating tangible opportunities of hope through biblical preaching, good works and by wisely stewarding our resources within our church body and partnerships.

(1 Pt. 3:15, Jn. 4:1-42, Matt. 5:13-16, Lev. 25:35-38, Rom. 12:9-13)

· In Fairfield, Alabama and Beyond...

Committed to praying for, raising up and sending out leaders to plant more churches, in communities similar to Fairfield, that are suffering from high crime, broken family units, failing educational systems and marred self-image; all resulting in hopelessness.

(Matt. 9:35-38, Gen. 1:28, 2 Tim. 2:2, Rom. 10:14-15)
