We welcome the opportunity for you to learn more about Light of
the World Family Worship Church. It is our hope that as you read
through this information, you will consider visiting our church
and discovering if this is a place where you can learn and grow
spiritually.
Our Vision Statement
Our vision is to grow the family of God through the power of scripture
and the demonstration of love and kindness.
How do we intend to grow the family of God? The Bible says that some plant the seed of God’s word, some water the seed of God’s word, but it is God who gives the increase and makes things grow. So, we believe that if we do our part (plant and water), then God will do His part (make things grow).
Spiritual Growth & Maturity
A goal of our church is to equip and support believers in their journeys toward spiritual growth and maturity by providing solid biblical teaching and preaching through our weekend and mid-week services, Sunday school, and Discipleship programs. This is how the seed or the word of God is planted and watered in their lives; yet it is the commitment to a personal and devoted relationship with God that will produce increase and growth in their lives.
Numerical Growth
God wants believers to grow spiritually, and He also wants unbelievers to be added to his kingdom. Our goal is to pursue unbelievers (specifically unchurched and unconvinced) and win them to Christ through servant evangelism. Servant evangelism requires that we be open to new and creative approaches in how we share the gospel. We can’t be limited to a standard or one size fits all approach. Paul said in I Corinthians: 9:22 "I have become all things to all men, that I may save some of them by any means possible."
Our Purpose Statement
Our purpose is to surrender to the presence of God, study His word,
serve those in need, support one another in love, and share the
good news of Jesus Christ to the World.
Our purpose statement is about 5 actions:
| |
Surrender * Study * Serve * Support * Share |
Being a part of the body of Christ is about laboring and working
for the Kingdom of God. God doesn’t want us to be merely spectators
in His family – He wants laborers and workers, those who will
be devoted to accomplishing His purpose in the earth. And at Light
of the World Family Worship Church, we have made our purpose plain
and proactive, because we want you to be and do all you can to advance
the Kingdom of God in the earth.
