  1. We, as a staff, have renounced “disgraceful, underhanded ways,” and simply live to tell the truth about the life and teachings and claims and being of Jesus Christ. We do not think that our job is to market the church or make the Bible “user-friendly,” rather we think that God has called us to state the truths of the Bible openly, without changing or “tampering” with his Word. We are aware that this will make some people uncomfortable, and will in fact drive some away. But we are committed to honoring the call of God on our lives regardless of the outcome. Our ultimate goal is not church growth, but the glory of God in the clear, humble, honest proclamation of the truth.
  2. We are joyfully serious about God’s Word, the Bible, and we aim to obey and teach it in all we do. We love verses like Psalm 19:10, “More to be desired are they [the rules of God] than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb,” and Psalm 119:103 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Indeed, the Word of God is a fountain of life, and by the mercy of God we are deeply committed to it.
  3. We have a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ with people who do not know Jesus Christ, who have been blinded by the “god of this world.” Oh how we long for persons from every tribe and tongue and nation to see the beauty of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ! Therefore, we are committed to sharing the gospel with our friends and neighbors, to starting new churches in the United States, and to supporting missionaries all throughout the world.
  4. We believe that all true experience of God is mediated through Jesus Christ. What we see and know of the glory of God we see and know in “the face of Christ.” Therefore, we do not preach ourselves or our denomination or our particular brand of Christianity, but we preach Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for his sake. We long for you to know the fullness of the beauty of Jesus Christ, and we live our lives to that end.
Glory of Christ exists because of the mercy of God. God mercifully forgave all our sins through Jesus Christ, God mercifully saved us from just damnation, and God mercifully called us into service in his Kingdom. We believe that God, in his mercy, called this church into existence, and therefore we do not lose heart in any circumstance. God brought us into being, and God will sustain us by his mercy as long as he wills.
There is so much more to say, but I will stop here. We are aware that Glory of Christ is not the church for everyone, but we earnestly hope that you can find a home here. We’re not a perfect church, but we’re growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and we invite you to join us in this pursuit. In the end, Glory of Christ is all about the glory of Christ! Come, taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:8)

Lamp & Light Verse

Romans 8:9-11 (ESV)
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. ?But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ?If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
