VillageChurch - We Believe
We seek to minister to our community by going where the people
are instead of waiting for them to come to us. We accomplish this by
developing relationships with our community through service and love.
Discovering the Truth
The Bible is unlike any book. It is complete in itself and needs no
other books or truths to supplement it.
VillageChurch desires to offer Bible study in such a way as to discover
how it speaks to us today, for it is our authority on all matters of
faith and practice (2 Timothy 3: 16).
Sharing the Truth
Christ's final instruction to His followers before He ascended into
heaven was for them to be busy telling other people about Him.
Therefore our number one priority as a church is to share the
incredible message of Christ with those in our sphere of influence
(Matthew 28: 19-20, Acts 1: 8).
Our Community
Life-change happens in the context of relationships and biblical
community. God uses a variety of means to transform a life, and this
often occurs in small groups where there is an environment of grace and
truth.
Our desire is to develop a church that is not merely a social group,
but rather a transformational community (Acts 2: 44-47).
Our Call to Ministry
Flexibility: We will constantly evaluate our methods to ensure cultural
relevance and maximum effectiveness for relating Christ to others (Acts
13: 36, 1 Corinthians 9: 19-23).
Worship: We seek to give glory to God in authentic expressions of
surrender and praise. We desire for our worship to be culturally
relevant and appealing to both believers and non-believers (Psalm 40:
3, Psalm 42: 1-4).
Servant Leadership: We support God's appointed pastors and leaders and
support them in every way in order to honor God (1 Timothy 5: 17,
Ephesians 4: 11-12, Hebrews 13: 17, 1 Thessalonians 5: 13).
