Purpose and Beliefs

 

Our Purpose:

Fellowship Missionary Church (FMC) exists to reach lost people and to develop them into fully devoted followers of Christ.

Core Values of Fellowship Missionary Church

1.      We believe that lost people matter to God; therefore, church growth is best        
         measured by conversion growth. (Acts 2:24)
 
2.      We believe that dynamic corporate worship is honoring to God, inspiring for
         believers and magnetic to seekers. (John 4:23-24)
 
3.      We believe that anointed teaching is a primary catalyst for the imparting of truth
         and transformation of lives. (Ephesians 4:12)
 
4.      We believe that the church should be culturally relevant while remaining
         doctrinally pure. (1 Corinthians 9:22; 1 Peter 2:9)
 
5.      We believe that evangelism is the responsibility of every believer and that    
         each person should be engaged in building relationships with lost people and
         helping them journey to faith in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:20)
 
6.      We believe that discipleship is a continuous process and that such life change
         happens best one on one and in small groups. (Acts 2:46)
 
7.      We believe that the church should operate as a community of servants, each one 
         aware of and engaged in the use of their spiritual gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7)
 
8.      We believe that loving, authentic relationships should permeate every aspect of
         church life. (1 John 3:11)
 
9.      We believe that the church should be led by spiritually mature individuals with
         gifts of leadership, wisdom and discernment. (1 Timothy 3:1-7)
 
10.    We believe that FMC is a part of the larger body of Jesus Christ and our desire is
         for its advancement as much as our own. (Matthew 16:18)
 
11.    We believe that ours is a “global God” whose heart for outreach to the world
         mandates mission-mindedness. (Acts 1:8)

12.    We believe that full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer. 
         (1 Kings 11:4)

 

Our Beliefs:

1.     The Holy Scriptures are the divinely inspired Word of God and are authoritative     
        in all matters of Christian faith and practice.

2.     There is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and 
        Holy Spirit,who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things.

3.     In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His 
        atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to 
        the right hand of the Father.

4.     That Jesus Christ is the only Savior of men.  Men are reborn through 
        genuine repentance and personal faith in Him.

5.     In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict, teach, guide, and enable 
        Christians to live a godly life.

6.     That the Church is composed of believers in Jesus Christ.  He is the Head and 
        the source of its life.  The Church, Christ’s body, exists to bring glory to Jesus 
        Christ and to accomplish His purpose.

7.     In the literal, personal and glorious return of Jesus Christ.

8.     In the bodily resurrection of the dead. The believer will experience everlasting 
        blessedness and joy with the Lord, while the unbeliever will encounter judgment 
        and everlasting conscious punishment.
