What We BelieveOur MissionSHARE the saving message of Jesus Christ, "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." Matthew 28: 17 CARE for those within and beyond our community, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all will know that you are my Disciples, if you love one another." John 13: 34-35 PREPARE hearts and minds to grow in faith, and "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteous- ness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3: 16-17 DARE to boldly live each day to the glory of Jesus "There, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12: 1 Our VisionResurrection ABLAZE Resurrection strives to plant a congregation/reach the unchurched Resurrection Renovation Updating/expanding facilities so that the best ministries take place Love Your Neighbor Reaching out into the community with the love of Christ. Our Core ValuesJesus Christ We teach and respond to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. We rejoice that Jesus is the Messiah, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Bible The Bible is God's Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine. Worship As the people of God we gather together as a community of faith to hear God’s word, participate in His sacraments, join together in prayer, and grow together in faith. Education Faith in God is a life long journey. As Christians we strive to continually grow spiritually and educationally in our faith. Mission The love of Jesus is for all people. We strive to be a mission station for the gospel in our own local area. Yet we realize that working together with others locally, nationally, and world-wide grants us a greater reach for the sake of the Gospel. Therefore we engage in mission activities and support mission activities. Community Resurrection is a Congregation Connected. Connected to God by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Connected to each other by the blood of Christ. Connected to our community by the love of Christ. Connected to the world by the commission of Christ. |
