About South Meadows Community Church
-
We are a non-denominational Christ Centered Fellowship
Purpose Statement:
“We are here to lead people from where they are to where God wants them to be.”
This is why we exist. We want each and every person we minister to, to experience a relationship with their Creator that affirms within them that God is their heavenly Father and for that relationship to grow deep and beautiful so that they can say with the Apostle Paul that in God “Christ means everything to me in this life, and when I die I’ll have even more (Philippians 1:21).
Church Values:
When one begins to study the Bible it doesn’t take long to determine what God values the most: He values himself above all else and then his “own image” creation, humans. Jesus Christ summed this truth up by leaving two integral commands for those that choose to follow him. These two great values are loving God with everything that we are and loving people as ourselves (Mark 12:29-31).
Love God:
The love of God is to be summed up in our fear and awe of him (Eccl. 12:13) and our passion towards him (Matt. 10:37-38) through obedience (1 John 5:2).
Love People:
The best way to sum up love towards people according to Scripture is to understand it as John did; “We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). John also intricately connects this love of people to obedience of God’s commands (5:2). Therefore, it seems that love of others is rooted in the understanding of our love for God.
