ACCEPTING CHRIST IS AS

EASY AS ABC...

A dmit that you have a need for, God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." Romans 3:23

B elieve that Jesus Christ can save you. "Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12

C onfess Jesus...and receive Him as Lord and Savior. "Confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord..." Romans 10:9-10

OUR DESIRES:

Since we find much of our information of why the church was created in the book of Acts, we use A.C.T.S. as a way to help explain our mission further.

IT IS OUR DESIRE TO:

We strive to be a church that is relevant, encouraging and nurturing. A place to find practical help for everyday living.

• Relevant Biblical Teaching
• Positive Meaningful Worship
• Encouraging Nurturing Relationships
• Personal Growth
• Quality Programming For All Ages

We want L.C.C. to be characterized by how we feel about people. We care about people and providing Biblical truths that make sense in today's life situations.

OUR VALUES:

We establish our methods, such as programs, style of ministry', teaching curriculum, etc., by understanding our values. Our values are those things we have determined as vital to the success of this ministry.

The difference is: Methods change, Values do not.

THEREFORE WE VALUE:

• Consistent Cultural Relevance
• Holistic Disciple Making.
• Relationships
• Expandability
• Lay Ministry Mobilization
• Effective Pastoral Leadership
• Prayer
• Accountability

OUR BELIEFS:

• In the one living and true God revealed in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• That Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for all sin, and rose from the dead to intercede for His followers at the right hand of God the Father.
• The Holy Scriptures are God's record, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit.
• God created mankind in His own image, morally free and responsible to choose between good and evil.
• The Church is created by God; it is the people of God, and exists to fulfill His Purposes.
• That Jesus Christ return is certain, and can occur at any moment to fulfill His promise.

This summary represents the foundation of our faith. A detailed description is presented at our "Understanding the Church" workshop.
