ABOUT US
ABOUT US
At Mid Rivers, we desire to be a community that honors God in all we do.
Our MIssion is: Helping People Find and Follow Jesus!
We are a Bible believing church! We teach the Word of God as truthfully and relevantly as we can!
Our style is a casual, upbeat, come as you are, friendly and fun vibe.
One of our mottos is: "No book but the Bible, no creed but Christ, no law but love."
We celebrate the Lord's Supper (communion) each Sunday.
As a nondenominational church, we are made up of a diverse group of people from a variety of faith backgrounds.
So, all are welcome no matter where you've been or where you're coming from, or where you are.
Come be our guest. We will have a great cup of coffee waiting for you!
WHO WE ARE
OUR CORE BELIEFS
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without error. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
(Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead, ascended to Heaven, and will one day return to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
(II Corinthians 5:21; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 4:10-12)
The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation to provide power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.
(John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13-14, 5:18)
Forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life are a free gift from God available to all who put their faith and trust in Christ and accompany that faith with genuine repentance, confession and baptism by immersion.
(John 3:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:23, 10:9)
The Church is the body of Christ on earth and exists to be a God-honoring community that makes authentic disciples of Jesus Christ.
(I Corinthians 12:27; I Peter 2:9; Acts 2:42-47; Matthew 28:18-20)
OUR VISION
Our purpose is to continue the vision that Jesus shared with the disicples many years ago.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
Our vision is to make disciples, plain and simple! We want to see as many people as possible come to Jesus Christ.
The commission of making disicples is two-fold:
bringing people to Jesus and building them up in Jesus!
That is what we seek to do here at Mid Rivers Christian Church.
We believe that spiritual growth is a process.
At Mid Rivers we guide people through a 4 stage discipleship process. We program, plan, and teach with the goal of making disicples and helping them at whichever stage of spiritual development they may find themselves at.
