Our Mission
Helping people take their next step in their discipleship journey with Jesus
Matthew 4:19, “And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you… fishers of people.”
We believe that the definition of a disciple is in the invitation of Jesus. A Disciple is…
1. One who follows after Jesus
2. One who is being transformed by Jesus daily
3. One who is committed to the mission of Jesus
Values
We are kingdom-minded
Kingdom = A territory by which a king rules and reigns. He (God) influences the kingdom through His will, power, and law.
A Kingdom has a territory. A Kingdom has a constitution. Our constitution is the Bible.
We Teach the bible— unashamedly, contextually, literally—— everything we do and every ministry we have will be dedicated to teaching the Bible and calling people to apply the truths of scripture to their lives.
We Take Audacious Leaps of Faith reliant on prayer— If God does not need to be in the equation to achieve our goal, we are not relying on Him enough. We are not praying enough.
We are generous. We believe the best investment you can make is in the kingdom —- scripture instructs us to “lay up treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-21). We believe the best way to lay up treasures in heaven is by investing in getting as many people to heaven as possible. We exist to make heaven crowded.
You need the church, and the church needs you—- While we have a personal relationship with Jesus, that personal relationship was never meant to be private. You were created to be in a relationship with God and His church.
Beliefs
What we teach and who we teach about matters.
It is customary to list out several points of important doctrinal distinctions intended to describe what we believe and why we believe it. Our conviction is that such a list is good but limited. We don’t want to simply describe what we believe. We want to describe how those beliefs define who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Therefore, we think it would be more helpful if we explain what you’ll find when you join us at LifeWell: a christian church.
At LifeWell you will hear us constantly preaching and teaching from the inerrant inspired Bible. You will hear those scriptures teach that humanity has fallen, separating itself from the one true God. You will hear God described as triune, consisting of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You will hear the remedy for the separation between God and humanity is found only by God’s grace given to us by trusting in the work of Jesus for our salvation. You will hear this salvation was purchased for us by Jesus dying on the cross, in our place, to pay for our sins, and being resurrected on the third day. You will hear the Bible teach that we receive and respond to God’s grace by placing our faith in Jesus, repenting of sin, confessing him as Lord and being immersed into Jesus. You will hear that to those who have been redeemed God gives the indwelling Holy Spirit to comfort, strengthen, and guide our walk. You will hear that Christ himself is head over his bride, the church. You will hear that the church is tasked with remaining faithful in obedience to God and with making disciples of all nations. You will hear that we are to follow and submit to Jesus with our whole lives until he returns to resurrect and judge the living and the dead.
You will hear these things taught with deep conviction from the leadership team, the church staff, and in volunteer ministries. And we pray that you will do more than just hear. These truths should define who we are, and in so doing, should move us to appropriate action. We often talk about our mission, “helping people take their next step in their discipleship journey with Jesus” We believe that the only way to live life well is through a relationship with Jesus and those truths are conveyed in scripture.
What we believe affects who we are, what we do, and why we do it. It is our hope and prayer that we have an opportunity to share these deeply held beliefs with you, and that you will find LifeWell a joyful place to serve God, learn more about Him, and love His people.
LifeWell: a Christian Church is all about helping people take their next step in their discipleship journey with Jesus.
That is why we are here - that is our mission. And it is bigger than anything else we know.
If that sounds about right to you, then this might be a great place to land.
