Purpose and Philosophy of Ministry

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ within the context of the Family of God.

Our Ministry Philosophy

Worship: We believe our first and primary purpose is to know and exalt God. This involves celebrating who God is corporately and individually. Worship was a crucial part of the church as seen in the book of Acts. The desire to proclaim the worthiness of God and to meet with Him creates an atmosphere of unity and Godly awe. We are committed to developing and encouraging Christ-honoring, God-centered, Holy Spirit-led, and heart-felt worship.

Expression, Evangelism, and Expansion: A healthy church will naturally demonstrate and express the life of Christ to each other and to the world. We want to equip the followers of Christ to give a clear reason for their faith. The church in the book of Acts continued to reach out to its world so that the kingdom of God expanded daily. We have been given the directive and authority by Jesus to make disciples of all people, baptizing and teaching them all he commanded us to do (Mathew 28:18-20). Jesus died that none should perish, but that all who believe would have abundant and eternal life (John 3:15-16, John 10:10).

Wholeness: Our goal is to see all people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We believe the avenues necessary to do so include careful Bible instruction, prayer and service. Teaching and preaching the Word of God was the foundation for life and faith in the early church and is foundational as well for Christian Life Fellowship. With the early church, believers were encouraged to experience God intimately and personally through prayer. The importance of each believer's prayer life cannot be underestimated. The church will rise or fall on the strength of this one ingredient.

Family: We see the Church of Jesus Christ as a community of people who are learning to love each other in much the same way that a natural family does. The early church fellowshipped together, this develops and encourages unity. We believe a strong family can endure hardships and differences better than an institution.
