Firm Family Church – Developing a faith that is real and friends that are true

Our Distinctives

We believe “every member is a minister” and joy is found in serving by finding the “right seat in the orchestra” for you to use the gifts and passions He has given you. (1 Peter 4:10-11, Romans 12:4-8)
We believe to live out the “one another’s” of the New Testament, we need to “move from rows to circles”. (NT contains over 50 “one-anothers”, Hebrews 10:24-25)
We believe “the best is yet to come because Jesus has yet to return”. (Philippians 1:21-23, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18, Titus 2:13, Revelation 21)

We believe “people are often God’s method” so live to be “changed lives changing lives”. (2 Corinthians 1:4, 2 Timothy 2:2, 1 Peter 2:9)
We believe the church is a family, not a business or an institution. (Romans 8:14-17, Ephesians 2:19-22)
We believe in being a “family friendly” church where intergenerational interaction and involvement is the norm (Matthew 19:14, Titus 2:2-6)

Greetings from your Elders

1 Peter 3:15 admonishes “…but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you…”

I am hopeful that we will soon start seeing some of our Youth Group students wearing new t-shirts which have been designed with the intention of inviting questions. I further hope that any student who is wearing one will be ready, willing, and able to answer the question of what their shirt means! So, if you see someone in one of the new shirts – ask for them to explain it to you!

-Matt
