Our Vision

We exist to display the fullness of God's glory and experience His eternal joy through knowing, worshipping, and proclaiming Jesus Christ to others. 


"Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!"

- Psalm 105:3


"Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."

- Colossians 2:6-7


OUR MOTTO


His Glory. Our Joy. 


OUR VALUES


We Are....


Worship Centered (Matthew 22:37; Romans 12:1)

We desire people to experience life transformation that leads to genuine worship. 


Gospel Committed (2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

We stand on an unwavering commitment to God's Word and bold proclamation of His truth.


Kingdom Focused (Matthew 6:33)

We direct each ministry of the church with an "eternity" mindset. Our ministries align with the purpose of advancing the kingdom of God first and foremost. 


Prayer Laboring (1 Thess. 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:18)

We understand that a prayerful life is a powerful life. We will bathe our lives, our families, our church, and our church's leadership and ministry in "kingdom focused" prayer. 


Globally Minded (Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20)

We pursue a mission of reaching, not only the community of Eudora, but also every tribe, tongue, and nation with the gospel of Jesus.  


Open-Armed (Hebrews 13:2; Romans 12:13)

Jesus meets you where you are and so do we. We value people from all walks of life and incorporate a heartbeat of hospitality. 


Excellence Driven (Colossians 3:23)

We determine to do our best understanding we work, not for man, but for the Lord. 


Multi-Generational (Deut. 6:4-9; Titus 2)

We embrace the truth that different generations are not a barrier, but a benefit to building up and equipping the church. 


Spirit-Filled Contributors (Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12)

We believe each born-again believer has been uniquely gifted and called by God into ministry to the church body and the world. 


Our Beliefs

1. The Scriptures

The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

 

2. God

There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. God is all powerful and all knowing; and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

 

3. Man

Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, as soon as they are capable of moral action, they become transgressors and are under condemnation. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.


4. Salvation

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.


5. God's Purpose of Grace

Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end. It is the glorious display of God's sovereign goodness, and is infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable. It excludes boasting and promotes humility. All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, and bring reproach on the cause of Christ and temporal judgments on themselves; yet they shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.


6. The Church

A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are pastors and deacons. While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.

 

7. Baptism and the Lord's Supper

Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony to his faith in the final resurrection of the dead. Being a church ordinance, it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord's Supper.
