We are a Gathered People, not a church... We are not called OUT of the world, rather, we are gathered together IN the world for strength and mutual support as we meet and conquer the challenges we face daily as individuals and families. It is through the intimate sharing of these small clusters that REAL ministry and personal, spiritual growth can take place, and we can find special relationships that make a genuine difference in our lives!We are a part of the Body of Christ... We affirm the same central tenets of the Christian faith that have been affirmed for centuries. The Bible is our source for truth about God and our need for wholeness.As such, we are a part of the Church Universal... We are, as faithful Christians, one with all those who share in the Communion of Christ and accept the declaration that He is "the way, the truth, and the life."We are an Evangelical Fellowship... We believe something is at stake in the message of God's love in Jesus Chrst and we invite all to explore that message with us. That is why we proclaim the GOOD NEWS that a relationship with Jesus sets us free for real living and makes an eternal difference!We are a Charismatic Congregation... We accept and are open to all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as God provides them to us in our times of need. We seek to walk in complete trust -- seeeking the vision and direction and power of God. We do not trust in any person, denomination or group -- just in Jesus Christ Himself.We are a Free Congregation... We believe that the best way to govern a local church is locally, at the leading of the Holy Spirit. We are not governed by any body other than our local congregation. We believe that when a fellowship is free from outside agendas, Jesus Christ is free to be Lord of that church.We are a Bible-believing Congregation... We believe that the most important thing to study is the Word of God found in the Holy Scriptures. In general, we are Wesleyan in our interpretations, following the theology and insights of John Wesley.We emphasize Participation, rather than membership... In fact, we have no membership! We are free to focus on the Commission of our Lord to make disciples of Jesus -- not members.We are focused in our Ministry... We don't claim to be all things to all people. As God has called us together, we are committed to our Lord and to one another. We are called to do a few things well for Christ -- not all things.People from many church backgrounds and memberships are active at FCC. We rejoice simply to welcome those who seek to know Him more closely. We care for all people who come our way regardless of church membership or religious background, because our greatest concern is YOU! Do you have QUESTIONS??? Drop us an e-mail! We would love to talk with you about your faith and how you might become a part of the Friendship Christian Community |
