“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

-Jeremiah 17:7-8

Vision

To help God’s people grow in spiritual maturity and knowledge of the Word of God and encourage people to know Jesus.

This church is about being rooted in Christ, His word, and the local community God has placed each of us in. The church should be a place where all are welcomed and encouraged to grow in the knowledge and understanding of God’s Word and be encouraged to grow in an individual faith and relationship with Christ. A non-denominational Christian church that holds reverently to biblical truth with expository preaching through careful exegesis of scripture while also bringing relevant biblical wisdom to the issues people are facing today in order to guide God’s church in righteous living.

A church willing to preach and take a biblical position on cultural hot-button issues, politics, and areas Christians should be activated or respond to in society. However, we believe it is vital to never allow political convictions or secondary issues to become a distraction from preaching the Word, but do believe God’s Word gives biblical insight into every area of life.

So, while we will adhere to the Bible on all such secondary nonessential doctrines, we will recognize they are fringe topics not meant to cause division but to challenge us all to live more biblically and with the fear of the Lord.

To ensure godly counsel, wisdom, and accountability from the beginning, we are putting together a management team that will include pastors from other churches we trust. Once there is an elder team, the management team will discontinue.

Our mission is to reach the lost, strengthen the believers, and contribute to a more vibrant, God-honoring future in Horseshoe Bend!

We are establishing strong church governance so as to make sure there’s appropriate accountability on leadership and church finances. While the church won’t start with elders and deacons, as it takes time to appropriately find those who qualify, we will appoint them over time, looking for those who qualify according to Titus 1:6-9 and 1 Timothy 3:1-13.
