GIVE HOPE
CREATE COMMUNITY
BE THE
CHURCH
The biblical definition of Hope is: "a confident expectation."
What every human being needs in this life more than anything else is the confidence, hope, and assurance of salvation that only comes through Faith in Jesus Christ. (Eph. 2:8-9). We also know from scripture that "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." (Rom. 10:17) Therefore, if we are dedicated to giving Hope we must have a devotion to the Word of God and faithfully preach and teach His Word.
If we are to effectively serve and reach a community, we must first be able to serve each other within the church family. We never want the church to be merely a formal Sunday Morning gathering, but a community of believers that does life together. That looks like meeting together throughout the week for smaller bible studies, gathering for meals, attending each other's children's ball games, being there for each other in crisis, etc.
-
(Gal. 3:28) The church should be a place where every man, woman, and child should be treated as family.
-
(Matt. 5:14) If we are to be the light of the world, the church must be a beacon of unity in the midst of a divided world.
-
(John 13:34-35) If we loved one another the way that He loved us...
We are a body that is found in the Word of God and united as a community. We can then effectively "Be the Church" and serve and reach our city. If what happens in our churches on Sunday mornings stays in our churches on Sunday Mornings, we're failing. We will always look for ways to serve our community, our schools, and the families and students of Catawba County as the Lord leads and opens doors.
