MISSION

“Changed Lives: Our Most Important Mission!”

VISION

Impact Community Church exists to: Reach UP, Reach IN, Reach OUT! That’s it — plain and simple. With a mission to see lives changed — the cycle is simple. Reach UP to God in DISCIPLESHIP (grow)… Reach IN to the church and CONNECT (belong)… and Reach OUT to others and EVANGELIZE (influence)… Once we Reach OUT – we hope to persuade people to Reach UP and start the cycle again!

And all of this is made possible because of the Roots of Christ. He set the foundation of ministry as WORSHIP and SERVICE! We are worship God with our entire lives (heart, mind, soul and body). Jesus said in Matthew that he came to serve, not to be served. So, we have a foundation at Impact of Worship and Service (or ministry). It’s what our church and our vision is based on.

Jesus traveled around asking for people to change. He asked for people to change their attitude, change their beliefs, change their behavior, change their future...and that took guts. Following Christ means a host of changes...some are not comfortable — but all of the them are doable. So — we exist to meet YOU where you are...and point you to Jesus. He will then patiently move you to where you should be as you Reach UP to Him, IN to the church, and OUT to others.

CORE VALUES

The Believe That...

-Lost people matter to God and should matter to us by our lifestyle, attitude and additional church plants.

-Excellence and creativity honors God and relevance connects people to the church.

-Acceptance through loving relationships should permeate the church by purposely noticing and caring for those around you.

-Life change happens best in (small) IMPACT groups, and participation is understood with membership and encouraged for all attenders.

-Empowered, gift-based leadership enables people to do ministry effectively.

-Full devotion to Christ is NORMAL by passionately committing to worship, prayer, serving, giving, Bible reading, discipleship and accountability.

-The Bible is absolutely true, being perfect, complete and relevant to our lives.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

-We believe in one God, three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

-We believe that sin separates us from God.

-We believe that Jesus is God's only Son and that his death, burial, and resurrection are sufficient for the forgiveness of sin.

-We believe Salvation is through faith in Christ, not by works but by grace.

-We believe that it is normal for believers to be fully devoted; committing to Bible reading, prayer, sharing their faith, and serving others!

PHILOSOPHY

REAL - We MUST be real in our faith. What good does it do to put on a “happy” face and know that your life is a wreck? Without bringing those around you down, you've got to have a place to vent. A place to cry. A place to let your guard down. A place where you're safe to be REAL. It's all about being authentic and genuine in your faith and your struggles.
