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

Join us for worship at our new location! Services at 9am and 11am with Meet-in-the-Middle starting at 10:15!

Meet-in-the-Middle is an intentional time of fellowship and connection between the two services to remind ourselves that we are one church! Snacks and coffee will be available during this time. See you Sunday!

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

Romans 6:12-14 tells us: “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”

My attention in reading this last week was drawn to the imperatives: “LET NOT” and “DO NOT”. Under the guidance and authority of the Holy Spirit, we are called to live out the truth that “…sin will have no dominion over you…” This is accomplished by “…present[ing] yourselves to God…”

Are you presenting yourself in open-handed surrender to God each and every day?

-Matt
