COMMUNITY CORE VALUES

 
At Community, we believe that the hope for our lives is the message of truth that God has given us in His Word, the Bible. In all of our ministries, we will pursue to present and promote the truths of the Bible and not our opinions and thoughts. God’s thoughts are what matter!

 

At Community, we understand that our calling is to make disciples who make disciples. We do this through sincere evangelism, helping new believers learn to take the initial steps to follow Jesus and teaching them what the Christian life is all about.

 

At Community, we understand that no two people in our congregation are just alike. We come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We choose to unite as a church family around the unchangeable, essential truths taught in the Bible. When we have disagreements in areas of less importance, we extend understanding, grace and love!

 

At Community, we are thrilled to embrace the role of loving the community where God has called and placed us! Franklin, Indiana is an amazing place to live and is full of wonderful people. But, the people in this city are also loved by God and He wants to have a relationship with them through Jesus Christ. So, our church is here to love this city on behalf of Jesus.

 

At Community, we know that before God ever established the church, he created the family! As a church, we are committed to honoring the importance of helping families grow in their faith and in their love for one another. Our goal is to never get in the way of family, but to come along side each family that God sends our way and help them live for Christ!

 

At Community, we believe in the importance of the local church. In the New Testament, we see that the local church was always reaching out beyond themselves to multiply churches by seeing new faith communities established all over their local area and region. We desire to do the same thing! Community Baptist will never be a megachurch, but will always strive to see new churches planted out of ours.

 

At Community, we know that pure religion that is undefiled before God is to care for those who have no one to care for them. The work of God is accomplished through the generous giving and sacrificial living of the people of God. We know that money isn’t a god to be served, but the gift of the one true God to meet our needs and to flow through our hands as stewards to meet the needs of the needy and fund the ministry of the Gospel. We believe that a tithe is a good start, but we strive to give out of our love for God above and beyond 10%. God will always bless a generous life!

 

At Community, we believe that we serve a God with a heart to love and redeem people from every tribe, tongue and nation. He has given the task of reaching them to the local church, OUR local church. We desire to pray, give and go to accomplish the Great Commission that God has given us to preach the Gospel, baptize those who believe and disciple them in all the truths that God has given us in His Word. It is vital that we reflect in our church the heart of our Missionary God!
