Purpose Driven
What the Church is to do.
Taking from the passage below we proclaim the following
as our Five Primary Purposes.
These are the things we believe the
scriptures teach that the Church (and each member of the
Body who makes up the true Church) is supposed to do:
"Those who accepted his message were baptized
(Membership)…They (the church) devoted themselves to the
apostle’s teaching (Maturation) and to fellowship, to
the breaking of bread and to prayer (Magnification).
Everyone was filled with awe and many wonders and
miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the
believers were together and had everything in common.
Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone
as he had need (Ministry). Every day they continued to
meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in
their homes and ate together with glad and sincere
hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the
people. And the Lord added to their number daily those
who were being saved. (Mission)" Acts 2:41-47
