Baptist Church 101
What
is God’s mission for this church?
Charlton
Baptist Church exists by God’s grace and for His glory to be a
welcoming community fully devoted to knowing Jesus Christ and making
Him known until He returns.
A
Welcoming Community: We
are called to establish and nurture loving and meaningful
relationships with one another through which we share a common life,
pursue a common purpose and together, create a place where all whom
God brings can discover His gracious love and perfect will for them
in Christ.
To
knowing Jesus Christ: The heart of Christianity is not knowing a
set of facts or following a list of rules. Rather it’s a personal
and growing relationship with Jesus Christ in whom we trust
completely as Savior and follow joyfully as Lord. As we allow His
life to transform ours, we increasingly are molded inwardly and
outwardly into His image.
And
making Him known The life, death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ represent the fulfillment of God’s unfolding plan to
reconcile to Himself a world and people, alienated by sin and death.
As Christ’s ambassadors placed in the world to be salt and light,
we participate in that global task by living out His Kingdom values
and proclaiming His Kingdom message; inviting all to acknowledge Him
as Lord.
Until
He returns We stand confident in Christ’s promised
return, marking the completion of our work, when “the kingdom of
the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and
he will reign for ever and ever.” We will serve together,
remaining faithful to our calling until He comes again and makes all
things new.
