Statement of Direction

Under each of the four areas of the church's activities, we have identified a statement of direction:

WORSHIP

        To honor God with worship that is reverent, joyful, and heartfelt and results in changed lives. Being in the presence of God:

our souls are invigorated in Christ

our minds are renewed in truth

our hearts are moved to respond to God and man.

TEACHING

        To instruct people to understand and apply the Christian faith in every sphere of life. This implies:

discipling of believers in the application of Word to their lives

demonstrating relevance of Christian thought to all society.

EVANGELISM

        To proclaim Christ boldly and lovingly in our community and northern New Mexico and to promote and support missions throughout the nation and the world. This implies:

continual intercessory prayer for the expansion of the Kingdom

personal evangelism

regular and substantial financial commitment to missions

encouragement to and recruitment for mission service.

SERVICE

        To demonstrate Christ's love to the world by:

identifying our responsibilities to our neighbors as defined by Scripture

addressing the needs of our neighbors

impacting society with Biblical principles and lives
