Our Purpose
Every church needs to have a purpose statement that answers the question - why do we exist, and a mission statement that answers the question - how do we accomplish our purpose? At Riverzedge, we will filter every program, budget request and idea through our purpose and mission statements. If whatever we plan doesn’t help us meet our purpose, then we don’t do it.
The purpose and mission of our church is based on two key scriptures:
The Great Commandment: "Jesus said, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.'" Matthew 22:36-40
The Great Commission: "Jesus said, 'Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.'"" Matthew 28:19-20
"WE BELIEVE THAT THE GREAT COMMISSION
FLOWS FROM THE GREAT COMMANDMENT.
THEREFORE WE ARE COMMITED TO BOTH
AND THIS COMMITMENT WILL GROW A GREAT CHURCH!"
Our Purpose...
Love God and Love People
Yup, it’s that simple. It’s not about Religion. It’s not about Rules or Rituals or Rutebagas. It’s about Relationships. Developing loving Relationships with God and with other people.
