Becoming a community of followers of Jesus Christ
who are growing personal, progressive commitments...
-
to Jesus Christ
-
to our own growth as His followers
-
to other believers, to our families, and to one another
-
to the work of Christ in the World
We desire to:
-
Introduce people to a personal faith in Jesus Christ
-
Disciple people in becoming servants with us in the Kingdom of God here in the city
-
Minister wholistically to all people living and working in the Mid-Wilshire area of down-town Los Angeles.
- We are committed to capturing the freedom of worshipping the Lord, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thanksgiving in our hearts to God (Col. 3:16).
- We are committed to developing an intense mutually caring spirit and a renewed devotion to the family (John 13:34-35).
- We choose to believe in the power of God to do exploits, develop an emphasis on community penetration, and promote a worldview that encourages a Kingdom consciousness identifiable for and in each member of our fellowship (Acts 1:8).
- We will evangelize the lost and preach repentance as a way of life (Mark 16:15-16).
- We will preach and teach the Word with unction and authority (2 Tim. 4:1-2).
- We are endeavoring to stand upon the Word of God (the Bible) alone in all we do (Ps. 119:105).
- We are committed to training up a plurality of Godly leaders (1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:9-10).
- We are striving to establish functional goals and plans in all we do (Prov 16:9).
- We are implementing a practical strategy for making disciples so that we may equip an aggressive active laity for ministry (Eph. 4:12).
- We desire to grow a willingness to enrich and innovate (Luke 5:36-39).
- We need to challenge people's faith (Matt. 11:25-30).
- We are growing a spirit of sacrifice in our giving (2 Cor. 8-9).
- We are returning back to counting numbers--because we believe that Kingdom growth is important (Acts 2:41, 47; 4:4).
