Purpose

What We Do

In addition to mission and vision, we need clarity as to what our purpose is, as a church, and as individuals.

Our purpose clarifies and elaborates on our Mission Statement. It helps us realize our vision. And it describes ‘what we do’ as a church, and as individuals.

Our purpose directs, clarifies, and prioritizes everything we do as a church. We choose to devote all of time and resources to fulfilling our purpose in order to see our vision realized and our mission accomplished.

Our Purpose Statement is:

“Fellowship Church exists to-

WORSHIP the Lord Jesus Christ;

GROW in relationship with Him;

CONNECT in authentic, encouraging, and accountable relationships with each other;

SERVE and meet the needs of the world around us; and

SHARE the grace, love, and hope that we have found in Jesus Christ in a tangible way with everyone.”

These 5 purposes are a recurring theme throughout Scripture on how we are to live as God’s creation, and especially in the New Testament, on how we are to function as a church.

We find the strongest examples of this in the accounts of The Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40), The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), and The Early Christian Church (Acts 2:42-47).
