Mission StatementMission Statement
We seek to follow the Holy Spirit's lead in all areas of ministry. Our concept of "faith communities" as expressed in our mission statement is found in Acts 2:42. It reads, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." The foundation of a community will determine the health and success of that community. A faith community that has God's Word as its foundation will result in spiritual health and spiritual prosperity as that community continually follows God's Word in God's way. "Leading people to be committed followers of Christ" assumes we are reaching out to them first. That's exactly what we must do to "build faith communities."
Cross of Life's mission is building faith communities on God's Word by leading people to become committed followers of Christ Jesus.
We also need to be real, genuine, and authentic in our love for and relationships with others. We pray that all who come into our fellowship will encounter the love of Christ. We want to embrace everyone the Lord leads to us and leads us to. We desire to create an environment that reaches out to all people, as Christ did, and gives them a sense of belonging. As we understand our acceptance in Christ, then we can accept others as they are. Whether a person wears a three piece suit, shorts, or blue jeans is not important. What is important is to see that person go from where he is to where God wants him to be spiritually (Romans 12:1-2; II Corinthians 5:17).
Thus, Cross of Life's mission is "building faith communities on God's Word by leading people to become committed followers of Christ Jesus." Here at Cross of Life, we don't want people to know about religion... there's plenty of that already in the world. Rather, we want them to know and experience a personal and powerful relationship with Jesus Christ both now in our fellowship and forever in eternity.
