About Us

Whether you have been a believer for a long time, are beginning a new walk with God, or are just curious about faith and spiritual matters, we invite you to come, sit back, relax, and feel at home. We'll enjoy a few songs and take a look at everyday life and what it means in light of our existence before God.   

Who We Are           

We are part of the Church of God Movement whose general offices are located in Anderson, Indiana. We are a global movement of people seeking to fulfill God’s mission in the world. We’re committed to studying the Word of God and faithfully living it out. We’re committed to the mission that Jesus Christ gave every believer: to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:18–20). Jesus is the Subject.

You will find a great diversity of convictions and practices within the Church of God. Though we have differences, we share a common story of faith, growing together into the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). We worship and serve as citizens of God’s kingdom. We celebrate our life in Christ and accept our call to be the body of Christ in our world—all to the glory of God.




Basic Beliefs

The following statements reflect the heart of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana):
• Salvation makes us members of God’s church. We believe that the church is composed of every person who has accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. We enter into the life of the church, not by joining a denomination or a human organization, but by committing our lives to Christ (John 3:1–7).
• Christians are called to be one. We believe that God calls all followers of Christ to live in unity and peace, regardless of who they are or the church they attend (Gal 3:28). While we may not agree on everything, we can rally around our subject, Jesus.
• We must be holy. We believe that followers of Christ have been called to live a life of love, purity, and godliness. We are called to live like Christ, taking on a new nature (2 Cor 5:17).
We also embrace these biblical principles:
• The Lordship of Jesus. There is one Lord, who is God’s Son Jesus Christ, over the church. Christ is the church’s ultimate authority on all matters (Acts 2:36).
• Making Disciples. Each of us is called to fulfill Matthew 28:18–20, making fully devoted followers of Christ—disciples—who will then teach others to follow Christ.
• Loving God and Neighbor. We are called to fulfill Matthew 22:37–39, not only loving God with our entire being, but also loving all that he loves.
• The Work of the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit equips believers with unique gifts that enable us to carry out the mission of Christ in the world. At the same time, the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in every believer (Galatians 5:22–23), which demonstrate the Spirit’s presence within us.
• Stewardship. Since God is the source of life, all of life is to be used for the honor, glory, and service of God (Psalm 24:1).
Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” John 13:34-35.

He later prayed, “That the church would be one as He and the Father are one… that the
Church would be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know…” John 17:21-23.

Paul knew the importance of this when he wrote, “If you have any fellowship with the Spirit…then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose” (Philippians 2:1-2).

“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” Eph. 4:2.

“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” Eph. 4:11-13.

We are His body, His flesh in the world today (1 Corinthians 12:27). As His church, we are given the incredible promise that it is possible for us to have “the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16). Let us move the church from an “inward” to an “outward” focus. And He has called us to join with Him as He builds His church (Matthew 16:18).

The more often we find ourselves asking questions like, “What does Jesus think about this?” “How does He feel?” What would Jesus do?” We will find ourselves praying prayers like, “Lord, help me to cry over the things which make you cry, to laugh at the things which make you laugh, to have a heart for the things for which you have a heart.”

Paul describes it this way: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)

We desire to be guided by God's will and our values to reflect His values. We want our spirit to be filled with His Spirit and our hearts to be aligned with His heart. We want to learn how to think the way He thinks. We want His agenda to by our agenda.”

We envision a church locked arm in arm together, pursuing the mission Jesus has for his church, being “like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and person?” (Phil. 2:2)

That Church, is part of a movement that can change its world.
