Once again, I
would like to discuss our vision for our Church. At Lefferts
Park Baptist
Church
The life of our church is based on the person and work of Jesus
Christ. We want to share Jesus with the world around us, so that in knowing
Him, they will come to love Him.
1.
Making Him Known: through Evangelism
& Education
To make Jesus
known, we proclaim the free offer of God’s grace to sinners, urging them to
repent and believe in Jesus.
The Apostle Paul has described our work as a ministry of
reconciliation. We call men to make peace with their Creator by believing in
His Son. There is no salvation apart from Christ, so if we desire to see men
saved, we must preach Christ and Him crucified!
We baptize new believers
in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and then we follow the Great
Commission by teaching them to be disciples. To be a disciple of Christ means
to follow both His teaching and His example. Through our preaching and
teaching, we set forth biblical doctrine, and through our ministries and
worship service we offer believers the opportunity to bring glory to God by
their obedient service.
2.
Making Him Loved: through Obedience
& Fellowship
To make Jesus
loved, we follow His example. Jesus breaks bread with His disciples, and He
calls them brothers.
To grow in love for our Savior and His people, Lefferts Park
Together,
we study God’s Word and experience His goodness as we learn to be conformed to
the image of His Son. We strive to make Jesus loved by loving one another and
loving the people in our community to whom God has sent us as witnesses.
Let’s
do our part to make Jesus known and loved today and every day.
