CHURCH MISSION STATEMENT

     The mission of The Community Church at Jess Ranch is to be a community of God’s people and to glorify and serve Him in Apple Valley and beyond.  This mission is accomplished through worshipping God, knowing and obeying Him, the teaching of His Word, fellowshipping with one another, and reaching out to those in both spiritual and physical need.

     As a church, we are to continue a strong pulpit ministry, teaching the Scriptures and Lordship of Christ, develop discipleship and stewardship among us, which must entail the devoting of our time, talents and treasures to the service of God, and integrate existing groups so as to build a greater sense of community among us.

     God is calling us now to a greater understanding and practical application of the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas of life.

OUR COVENANT

     Acknowledging Jesus Christ to be our Savior and Lord, and accepting the Holy Scriptures as our rule of faith and practice, and recognizing the privilege and duty of uniting ourselves for Christian fellowship, the enjoyment of Christian sacraments, the worship of God, and the advancement of His kingdom in the world, we do now in the sight of God, and invoking His blessing, solemnly covenant and agree with each other to associate ourselves to be a Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, as warranted by the Word of God.

     We agree to maintain the institutions of the gospel, to submit ourselves to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Church, and to walk together in brotherly love.

     And this we do, depending upon the aid of our heavenly Father, who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son for our salvation, and of Jesus Christ who has redeemed us with His blood, and of the Holy Spirit our Comforter and Guide.  Amen.
