Who We Are ................................................................................................................................ OUR PURPOSE STATEMENT Christ Presbyterian Church is a community of Christians, called by our Lord Jesus Christ, who find our identity in our corporate union with Him, and in our love for each other (I Corinthians 12: 12-27). At our organizational service on April 8, 1990, the congregation affirmed the following vow: "In reliance on God for strength, we do solemnly promise and covenant that we will walk together as an organized church, on the principles of the faith and order of the PCA, and that we will be zealous and faithful in maintaining the purity and peace of the whole body." Our primary purpose as the Body of Christ is to know and glorify the triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6: 5). In clarifying this purpose, we believe that the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek, being immediately inspired by God, and by His singular care and providence kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical, the only infallible rule of faith and practice (II Timothy 3: 16-17). We believe that our organization together is to be characterized by teaching, fellowship, observing the sacraments, and prayer (Acts 2: 42). Our mission is to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, to do the work of an evangelist and to present ourselves as His servants ministering to both spiritual and physical needs (II Corinthians 4: 15; II Timothy 4: 5; Matthew 25: 40; Matthew 28: 18-20; Acts 1: 8). |
