PURPOSE STATEMENT

Disocvery Church is a Non-Denominational "Balanced" Spirit Filled Ministry.  We exist to help people become fully devoted followers of Christ emphasizing the Grace of Jesus and the Gift of Rightousness.  Our purpose is to see people change from an ordinary life to an extraordinary life through the transforming power of Jesus Christ. 

OUR CORE VALUES

1. Lost people matter to God and, therefore, ought to matter to the church.  This includes the concepts of relational evangelism and evangelism as a process. (Luke 5:30-32; Luke 15; Matthew 18:14)

2. Biblical truth is culturally relevant and should be communicated with excellence.  This includes the concepts of relating to our culture through our facilities, printed materials, media and use of the arts. (I Corinthians 9:19-23)  This also includes the concepts of evaluation, critical review, intensity and excellence. (Colossians 3:17; Malachi 1:6-14; Proverbs 27:17)

3. Anointed teaching and worship is the catalyst for transforming lives.  This includes the concept of teaching for life change. (Romans 12:7; II Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:13-15)

4. The church should operate as an authentic, unified community where people connect in small groups.  This includes the concepts of discipleship, vulnerability and accountability. (Luke 6:12-13; Acts 2:44-47)  This also includes the concepts of love-driven ministry, ministry accomplished in teams and relationship building. (I Corinthians 13; Nehemiah 3; Luke 10:1; John 13:34-35)

5. The Holy Spirit empowers and enables people to use their spiritual gifts for the cause of Christ.  This includes the concepts of unity, servant hood, spiritual gifts and ministry callings. (I Corinthians 12 & 14; Romans 12; Ephesians 4; Psalm 133:1)

6. Full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.  This includes the concepts of stewardship, servant hood, downward mobility and the pursuit of Kingdom goals. (I Kings 11:4; Philippians 2:1-11; II Corinthians 8:7)
