Purpose & Mission

Our Purpose…

Understanding that the fullness of God is in Living Faith by Christ Jesus, our purpose is to honor Jesus Christ our Lord to the glory of His Father and our God. We recognize that our purpose can only be realized as we come into a full knowledge of the surpassing love of Christ which is plainly demonstrated by the sacrifice of Himself on the cross on our behalf. Embedded in the demonstration of Christ’s love is the call that we love one another as He loves us which we manifest by our integration into the functioning of Living Faith as members of one another and by our interactions with each other and with others.

Our Mission…

Because we have known and believed the love God has for us in His Son, we will carry the testimony of Jesus Christ as His ambassadors in all our services and activities, in our community and families, and into all the world through our involvement with worldwide missionary work. We confess that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who has reconciled us to God by His death and who has given us assurance of our salvation by His resurrection. We recognize that Jesus is the Head of Living Faith equipping us to carry forward His work of reconciliation by persuading others with the help of the Holy Spirit to believe the gospel, profess their faith in baptism, and become integrated into the functioning of Living Faith as a member of the body and into the fellowship of Jesus Christ.

Our Vision…

Our vision is that for the next 100 years is that we and those who follow us will be faithful to carry the testimony of Jesus Christ. We will do this by being discipled by Jesus Christ and His Word ourselves and by discipling those who are persuaded to believe in Jesus Christ. Our emphasis will be on educating our members so that they can faithfully testify who Jesus is, what He has spoken, and what He has accomplished in His death, burial, and resurrection. We will gather in submission to God, our Father, as we give honor to His Son to His glory. We will acknowledge our gratitude for our salvation by praise and thanksgiving. We will celebrate the blessings of God recognizing that He is the one who is working in us to will and to do His good pleasure. We will sorrow with those who are grieving, but we will not do so without the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

Salvation

A man once gathered a crowd at the edge of Niagara Falls as he stretched a cable across the river and began to push a wheelbarrow across the Falls. The people watched in awe as the man filled the wheelbarrow with rocks and proceeded to push it back and forth over the cable. The man then asked how many in the crowd believed he could push a person across the Falls in the wheelbarrow. Everyone in the crowd raised their hand. The man then asked, “Can I get a volunteer?” Of course, all hands went down! In many respects, our salvation experience is similar. It is not enough to realize that we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, as the Bible teaches us. It is not enough to be sorry for our sins and have a desire to be a better person, though repentance is an essential ingredient.

It is not even enough to understand that Jesus lived a sinless life and died to pay for our sins and rose on the third day. What we must do is by faith, get in the “wheelbarrow”. That is, we must trust completely in Jesus to forgive our sins and save us. A head knowledge of the gospel is good, but it takes believing totally in our hearts in Christ alone for salvation to take place. That means we aren’t depending on good works, church membership, or anything else except the sacrifice of God’s Son on the cross to pay for our sins.

Are you disgusted with your sin and ready to make a change? Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Confess your sin and your desire to be forgiven. Trust completely in Christ alone to save you and make you a home in heaven. He will be glad to hear from you!
