The Master-Planned Community

“You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of His household.” — Ephesians 2:19 

We all need community! Isolated people are anxious, fragmented, and discouraged. Left to ourselves, we lack purpose and are unsure how to structure our lives. We were never designed to go it alone! Everyone needs the support of a loving, uplifting, transformative community. Through the instruction of the Bible, God lays out His comprehensive site plans for building His Master-Planned Community.  

His community expresses His boundless love through authentic relationships. God uses the beauty of genuine community to transform us into the best and most satisfied versions of ourselves. Through Christ-centered relationships, individuals, couples, families, and communities are transformed to be more like Jesus and thrive.

Here is how lives and communities are transformed:

Homes

We envision a community where families are empowered to flourish. We equip and empower you to make disciples of your family to thrive for generations. Through small groups, participants grow in their love of God, love of neighbors, and as disciples of Jesus.  

Schools

We are committed to discipling Jesus followers of all ages. Through our support of Lifewise Academy, we are leading efforts to share Biblical instruction with public school students and homeschoolers during school hours. Additionally, through our Master Classes, we equip those seeking to grow in their love of God and others by becoming disciple makers. 

Roads and Bridges

Roads connect us to our community, and bridges lead us out of our community around the globe. We impact the local community through our Senior Visitation Program, Lifewise Academy, Heartbeats Pregnancy Center, Coaching, and other local initiatives. We connect beyond our community through global missions such as digging wells in East Africa, growing discipleship networks across Germany, outreach to Muslim communities, and primary support of pastor training programs in Cuba and beyond. 

Recreation

Enjoying time together strengthens the body, sharpens the mind, and facilitates the rest necessary to resume our mission with passion. Recreation engages members of our community in a way that befriends and builds bridges to Jesus so that they too can become disciples in His forever family. Together, we are building a Master-Planned Community that makes disciples in the home, school, marketplace, and recreational space, thus transforming our lives and community for eternity!

Our Beliefs

WE BELIEVE that there is One God who is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  God is the Personal, Transcendent, and Sovereign Creator of all things.

WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be Intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshipped.  We look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.

WE BELIEVE in all the basic doctrines of historic Christianity, including the Inerrancy of Scripture,which is the belief that the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired and infallible Word of God.  The Gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in Scriptures are valid for today if they are exercised within Scriptural guidelines.

WE BELIEVE the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape Love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be Inspirational and Spiritual. Therefore, we give great place to music on our worship.  We remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.​

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is Fully God and Fully Human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement for our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us. After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.

WE BELIEVE that all people are by nature Separated from God and responsible for their own sin, But that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Eternal Salvation is Free, by Grace Alone, apart from works, and is available to those who place their Faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible, and Pre-millennial Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the Earth. He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.​

WE BELIEVE that Marriage is a Covenant, designed by God, between one man and one woman as God biologically created them Male and Female from conception.

WE BELIEVE that Human Life is Sacred and Created by God in His Image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death.
