Parish Mission Statement
The love of Christ impels us to welcome all, to worship joyfully and pray fervently, to walk together with those in need, and to reverence God in the wonder of Creation.
OUR BELIEFS
The Bible
The sole basis of our belief is the Bible. The Scripture in its entirety is composed of 66 books of the Old and New Testament, which originated with God, and was given through the work of many different God-inspired authors. Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
.
Baptism
We believe that authentic faith expresses itself in repentance and immersion in Jesus’ name. Repentance is our sincere acknowledgement that God’s judgment against sin is just, and water baptism is our confession of the sufficiency of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus to save us from sin.
God
We believe that there is one living, true, holy God eternally existent in the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe the love of God for men and women in his image is the beginning of the story of redemption. We want to love one another as He has loved us.
Christian Living
We believe that believers are called to adopt a life of discipleship that imitates Christ’s own. He is our perfect model in all things. As we yield to the Holy Spirit’s power, we pursue all that is holy and learn to abhor the sinful things that once appealed to us. By that same power, we seek to honor God with spiritual worship, unity with our fellow believers, and service to our neighbors.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus was miraculously conceived, born of a virgin, and sinless in life. Christ was fully man and fully God, walked on earth, lived a life of obedience, suffered at the hands of men, and died on the cross. We believe the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ constitutes the core of the Good News all people need to hear. Jesus suffered the penalty our sins should have brought to us. He paid our debt to sin at the cross and was raised in glorious triumph. He is enthroned at God’s right hand as our intercessor.
The Church
We believe the role of the local church is to glorify God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We meet regularly to share Jesus through our lives and our words, encourage individuals to grow in Jesus, inspire a sense of belonging by sharing Jesus through our lives and our words, encourage individuals to grow in Jesus, inspire a sense of belonging by sharing joys and burdens, participate in weekly gathered communion (Lord’s Supper), and reach out with loving support to people in need.
Salvation
We believe that our salvation is by God’s free grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The central purpose of God’s revelation in Scripture is to call all people into fellowship with Him. We deserve hell, not heaven. We cannot earn what God has done for us through Christ. Even our deepest remorse over our sins cannot undo the past or erase the harm already done. Forgiveness is a divine work. We can be made new through our belief in Christ.
The Resurrection
We believe the Scriptures clearly teach that there is a conscious personal existence after death. All individuals dying without Christ will suffer eternally, while those in Christ will enjoy eternal blessedness. Christ will return to judge the world and receive the saved.
What to
Expect
FRIENDLINESS… You can expect a warm, friendly welcome. Friendliness is a natural response of a Christian. We believe that one of the basic foundation principles of Christianity is love and friendship toward our fellowman (Matthew 22:36-40). Neither does it permit respect of persons on the basis of poverty or wealth (James 2:1-9). Jesus is our superb example of friendliness, in that he was compassionate toward all humanity, regardless of their status in life. We believe you will find that same spirit among the Lake Park Church. Therefore, when you visit us, you will be considered an honored guest. You will be greeted with kindness and love.
SIMPLICITY…. You can expect our worship to be simple. It is simple because it is based on the worship we see in the New Testament. Jesus taught that our worship was to be spiritual and according to truth (John 4:24). Our worship to God includes the Lord’s supper, giving, singing, prayer and teaching the gospel. We do not try to improve on God’s divine plan and beauty with pageantry or innovations of men.
