SLCC Community Vision & Covenant

We are a small community of people who have received Jesus Christ as our savior and are seeking to have him become the Lord of our lives.  We are in agreement with the basic, core beliefs of historic Christianity and in response to those beliefs seek to express our community relationships in the following ways:

We Gather To...Express Worship

  • We seek to express an inner stirring in our hearts to treasure God above all treasures of the world.

  •  We seek to express right affections in the heart toward God, rooted in right thoughts in the head about God, becoming visible in right actions of the body reflecting God.

  •  We seek to glorify God by being fully satisfied in him, and being fully  satisfied in him we seek to glorify him all the more.

  •  We seek to offer our whole selves to God in worship including our time,  our giftedness, our passions, our possessions, and our finances

We Gather To...Experience Community

  • We seek to encourage one another by rejoicing with those who rejoice and mourning with those who mourn.

  • We seek to encourage and listen to those who lead us.

  • We seek to experience the signs of God’s grace through baptism, public affirmation of faith, and the Lord’s Supper - doing so in community with others and therefore professing that we depend on God and one another.

  • We seek to live out God’s vision of a global community by uniting with followers of Jesus Christ from other churches, denominations, cities, states, countries, ethnicities, cultures, economic positions, and lifestyles.

We Gather To...Offer Prayer

  • We seek to express that all people and things move, change, and grow by the power of God.

  • We seek to participate in the release of God’s will in this world

We Gather To...Listen to God's Word: the Bible

  • We seek to expose our heart to God's written word, the Bible because it is alive and relevant to our lives through the presence through Jesus Christ, the Living Word.

We Scatter To...Proclaim God's Rule Over All People, Groups, Systems & Structures

  • We seek to 'live' Christ in our circles of influence

  • We seek through Christ's power to see people and every arena of life transformed to their God-given, intended purposes.

  • We seek to mature in our Christ given purposes as people by participating in Discipleship Mission Communities (DMC's).
