  1. Disciples of Faith Bible Fellowship“Teaching Knowledge, Understand and Application of God’s Word” Understanding Church Membership Hebrews 1024And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir each other up to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, 25Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching. Amplified Bible

  2. Our Vision To be a growing, dynamic, spirit led church family, committed to worship, spiritual development, bringing new people into Vital Relationship with Jesus Christ, and sharing agape (unconditional love) for all. We are a church where the helpless, hurting, struggling, lonely and confused find peace, real answers to problems, love relationships and a God that will make lives better.

  3. Our Mission • Founded on the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) & Great Commandment (Matthew 22: 37-40). • We are a “REALL” church: • Reaching out to the community with agape (unconditional) love, • Educating believers to spiritual maturity in the word for success in life, • Adopting new believers into the body of Christ, • Loving God with a passion, and • Loving our neighbors with compassion. Evangelism, Teaching, Baptizing, Worship, Helping

  4. We Believe: • In one God, maker and ruler of all things, Father of all men; the source of all goodness and beauty, all truth and love. • In Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, our teacher, example and redeemer, the savior of the world. • In the Holy Spirit, God present with us for guidance, comfort and strength. • In the word of Godcontained in the Old Testament for examples and New Testament as the sufficient rule both of faith and of practice. • In the churchas the fellowship for worship and for service of all who are united to the living Lord. • In the kingdom of Godas the divine rule in human society; and in the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God. • In the triumph of righteousness, the resurrection of the body and in everlasting life. Amen.

  5. Key Truths from the Scripture “...You are a member of God’s very own family...and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.” Eph. 2:19 (LB) • The church is a FAMILY. • God expects you to be A MEMBER of a church family. • You belong in a church family. A Christian without a church family is ORPHAN, even though, you legitimately accept Jesus as Lord of your life, you become a Christian, a member of the body of Christ. • We operate on the basis of RELATIONSHIPS not RULES.
