Toward Authentic Christianity, Pt. 3: Our Worship

9 02 2010

At Christ Fellowship, we believe that our worship must be authentic.  We believe this authenticity is achieved when we are God-glorifying, Christ-centered, Holy Spirit-filled, Bible-based, and where every believer is encouraged to use his or her giftedness to the glory of God and the edification of the fellowship.

In our effort toward authentic Christianity, we believe our worship will be characterized by spontaneity and  sincerity, as we express our Spirit-giftedness in our exaltation of Jesus Christ:

What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.  (1 Cor. 14:26, TNIV)





Toward Authentic Christianity, Pt. 1: Our Foundation

9 02 2010

At Christ Fellowship, we believe our foundation is Jesus Christ himself.  We believe that Jesus called us into existence for to lead others into full maturity in him, for his glory.

But to fulfill this mission he has given us, we believe Jesus has founded us upon himself, because the church only has one foundation, Jesus Christ himself (1 Cor. 3:11).

Our foundation is Jesus Christ himself.





Toward Authentic Christianity, Pt. 2: Our Mission

9 02 2010

At Christ Fellowship, our goal is toward authentic Christianity in everything we do.  

In part two of our series Toward Authentic Christianity, we want to focus on Our Mission.  Mission answers the question of why we exist.

The founder of the Christian faith tells us why we exist.  Jesus says that we exist to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Triune God, and instructing these new disciples to obey the teachings of Jesus (Matt. 28:19-20).

Our Mission:  We exist to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, for his glory.
