YOU ARE SO SPECIAL

We Believe

The absolute inspiration of Holy Scriptures.
One God revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus' virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and future return to earth as both Lord and King.
Justification by grace through faith in our Lord's sacrificial death on the cross.
Baptism in water for every believer as a symbolic "burial with Christ".
Baptism in the Holy Spirit as an endowment of power available to every Christian.
The Message and mission of the church is the Gospel of the kingdom which simply means the rule of God in every area of our lives.
The literal second coming of our Lord, His literal rule upon the earth; the resurrection of the saved unto eternal life; the unsaved to eternal damnation; and the ultimate victory of the kingdom of God.

Our Vision 

With the help of the Holy Spirit, Community Church Jasper desires to lead people to Jesus Christ by reaching up through heartfelt worship, reaching in through discipleship and training, and reaching out in service to others. 

Reaching Up:  To honor God with Spirit led worship.  Entering into His presence where we are changed. 

Reaching In:  To teach and train through fellowship.  Walking together, learning from one another through our struggles and victories.  This form of equipping the saints is what Jesus used. 

Reaching Out:  We equip to involve and send out.  The problem with the church today is they seek followers rather than leaders to send out.  The church is not a pile of bricks (I Peter 2:5), but a wall of bricks mortared together.  It is not entertainment but involvement.  Not a crowd but an army.  Not spectators, but participants.

We Value:

The Seeker - and desire for everyone to know the Lord.  We value  the  hurting, hopeless and helpless and want to see them healed and restored. 

Worship - and desire for everyone to experience the presence of God. 

The Word and the Holy Spirit - and let both guide our daily lives. 

One another - and desire to walk together in unity, encouraging, supporting and loving each other. 

Ministry - and desire to see each individual fulfilled and fruitful. 

The Church - the bride of Christ and partners in the work of the kingdom. 

Missions - God is at work everywhere throughout our world, and we actively seek opportunities to be involved. 

The Next Generation - and believe the Lord has something special planned for them.

Our Plan:

A.    Helping people grow and become emotionally and spiritually mature.  To take charge of their lives, pay their debts, read God’s Word, pray, have a good marriage, support the church, and become committed to God’s ways in their lives. 

B.     Helping people to find their spiritual gifts, calling ministry and God-given passion.  (Eph. 4:1 & I Peter 4:11)  We can become the most effective in our service to others as we flow in our God given spiritual abilities. 

C.    Helping disciple new believers through accountability (Gal. 6:2) by being involved on an individual basis.  Our goal is to involve everyone in a ‘Life Group’ with weekly contacts or gatherings that reflect at least one of our core values. 

D.   Lay Ministry.  The day-today ministry is done by the people.  We desire that everyone have a ministry opportunity.  Life Group leaders have a similar responsibility to assistant pastors.  Praying elders pray for the sick.  The healing of marriages and discipleship is done by caring people in the congregation.  (Eph. 4:11-16) 

E.     Missions is an important part of God’s purpose for His church.  We plan to give a tithe (10%) of our offering to missions of which (10%) is designated benevolence for those in need.  Our goal is to seek God’s direction to become personally involved in sending mission teams to establish projects where God may lead around the world.
