Where Jesus is the Only Superstar

The greatest among you will be your servant ? The first will be last and the last will be first (Mt 23:11 & Mk 9:35)

2.     A Holy Church 

Teaching and promoting scriptural purity in thought & action without legalism.

We should “add to our faith” Godly character  (2 Pet. 1:5)

A goal of ZERO percent divorce rate in the congregation

Teach and train men and women the biblical principles of marriage and parenting

?Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children (Titus 2:2-4)

 4.  A Holy Spirit Filled Church

Fulfilling the great commission with power endued to us for that purpose

Flowing in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the instructions given in First Corinthians Chapter 14

5.  A Soul-Winning Church

We understand the purpose of the Holy Spirit is to empower us to be soul winners

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

Reach out to the hungry, homeless and hopeless and meet their physical needs as well as their spiritual needs

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:15 - 17)

Be a diverse church with diverse ministries

I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.  I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. (1 Cor 9:23) 

6.     A Disciple Making Church

Using the biblical model of mentoring young Christians

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  (Mat 28:19 & 20) 

 Using the biblical model of small group ministry

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:46 & 47) 

Making every member a minister

(Eph 4:11 & 12)  It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

Helping believers discover and utilize their giftings

(Rom 12:6)  We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

7.     A Praying Church

A Church where prayer is the driving force behind everything we say and do

(Mark 11:17)  And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: "'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations' ? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"

9.  A Praising Church

Like David, we want to be a church that praises God with EVERYTHING that is within us! (Ps. 103:1)
