WHAT DEFINES US
WHAT DEFINES US
Our Mission:
"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.” Matthew 28:19-20
We believe firmly that Jesus calls us to invite, equip, support, and sustain all of our brothers and sisters so that they can be followers of Christ Jesus. At Living Lord, we encourage people to join the adventure and journey of discipleship. We seek to follow Jesus with our whole heart, mind, and soul.
Our Vision:
Connecting with God.
Connecting with others.
Connecting with what God is doing in the world.
Through the cross of Jesus we find our ways into deep, impactful relationships both vertically with God and horizaontally with our neighbors. At the center of those two relationships is where we experience God's presence in the world.
Our Heart:
We structure ministries that communicate God’s love in a way that is appropriate to each age group. Children are a gift from God and have an important and vital place in our ministry. We are committed to strengthening inter-generational relationships of children, parents, and grandparents.
The Bible
"Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left."
- Martin Luther.
God’s Word is our foundation, practical and faithful in addressing everyday issues, life-changing in its power and content. It’s the one place where we meet Jesus, and it is through this Word, Jesus is made known to us.
We commit ourselves to sharing the gospel message that God has acted on our behalf through Jesus Christ, the “good news of God”, and that through the Holy Spirit we can experience a life-transforming relationship with God.
Serving the World
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope."
- Martin Luther.
We commit ourselves to passionately sharing the love of Christ in relevant and engaging ways with those not yet connected to Jesus or the church. Because people outside the church matter to God, we make them a priority of our mission. We continually seek to create an inviting climate of warmth and hospitality that welcomes all to come and hear about Jesus at their own pace.
As we give of ourselves in service in Christ’s name, our own lives take on fuller and deeper meaning and value. We seek to become a community that will serve as Jesus served. Service ministry opportunities are both local and abroad with God’s people participating in those ministries in which they respond to God’s call.
OUR STAFF
The Living Lord staff walk alongside each other and our numerous volunteers to bring to life all of the ministries that are part of the church. While each has their areas of passion and expertise, they truly live to serve God in whatever capacity that is needed at the time.
