LIFE Together: Growing Together as a Christ-Centered Church
Our Mission
To glorify God by living out the LIFE we have in Christ
LIFE is an acronym that is an easy way to remember central aspects of growing and maturing in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
"… I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
(John 10:10b)
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."
(Galatians 2:20)
L-LOVING God
We worship and love the Triune God of Scripture for who He is and all that He has done, is doing, and will do through the perfect life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is in loving God that we begin to experience the fullness of the life of God.
(Matt. 22:37; Rom. 12:1-2)
I-INVESTING in Others
We strive to make disciples through the intentional and relational process of maturing Christ-centered believers and mobilizing them for ministry.
The transformation we experience in our relationship with Christ develops our desire to intentionally involve ourselves in serving and developing others.
(Matt. 22:39; Heb. 10:24-25)
F-FOLLOWING His Word
We trust in the authority and sufficiency of Scripture to cultivate Christ-centered lives through preaching, teaching, studying and applying God's word in the power of God's Spirit.
Our relationship with Christ is developed as we learn to depend upon His Spirit and respond faithfully to His Word.
(2 Tim. 3:16-17; James 1:22)
E-ENGAGING Our World
We want to engage the people in our sphere of influence and join others locally, nationally, and globally to spread the love, grace, and gospel of Christ.
As people who experience the love and grace of God, we seek to share the goodness and greatness of Christ with both our words and way of life to the people in our world.
(Matt. 5:16; Matt. 28:19-20)
A Christ-centered church is focused on exalting the Triune God, teaching His word, and making disciples in His power for His glory.
Our Vision
Growing Deep & Reaching Out
The vision of Fellowship Bible is to present every person complete in Christ. Just like a healthy, mature tree establishes a deep root system while at the same time branches out and bears fruit, so there is to be a parallel experience in the life of the believer. As a person grows deep in their relationship with Christ, there is to be a corresponding development of Christ-like character and spiritual fruit the Spirit of God produces in the life of the Christian. Our vision is to see every person experience and express authentic maturity in Christ.
Supporting Scripture
"We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me."
(Colossians 1:28-29)
"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers."
(Psalm 1:1-3)
