Brainerd Church Purpose


I. Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a wholesome family atmosphere for worship and service the Lord.

 

II. Mission Statement

Because we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus, our mission is to be a loving, unified, diverse body of people who urgently seek the salvation of the lost with the good news, and reflect Jesus to the world and one another as we mature into the fullness of Christ.

 

III. Seven Principles

1)  Grace is God's Provision

God's grace, in providing Jesus Christ in spite of our sin, compels and enables us to appreciate fully God's grace to us, and to reflect His grace to all people.

2)  The Bible is God's Revelation

The Bible is the inspired, infallible revelation of God that offers love, joy, hope, and guidance as it reveals the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

3)  Worship is God's Glory

Our assemblies for worship will be times of celebration, encouragement, and challenge with prayer, praise, and preparation to go into the world as joy-filled ambassadors for Christ.

4)  Purity of Life is God's Demand

God's nature calls for a people committed to biblical standards of moral and ethical integrity.

5) Service is God's Presence

The Church is the visible body of Christ on earth and continues His life and ministry by lovingly and personally serving others.

6)  Growth is God's Business

God gives the increase as we are workers, working together with Him in sharing the good news with all people resulting in a family diverse in race and social standing.

7)  Freedom is God's Gift

We share a vision of being a Church that is free in the Spirit to use the traditional and the innovative approaches that are most effective and meaningful in carrying out God's mission for us.
