Article2: Purpose
This church exists by the grace of God and for the glory of God, which shall be the ultimate purpose of all its activities. We seek to glorify the God of Scripture (Eph. 3:21) by promoting His worship (Exod. 20:3-11; John 4:23-24; 1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Pet. 2:5), edifying and equipping the saints (1 Cor. 12:27-28; 14:12; 18-19, 26; Eph. 4:11-16), evangelizing the nations (Acts 13 and 14; 1 Cor. 14:24-25; 1 Tim. 2:1-4; 3:15), planting and strengthening churches, calling other assemblies to biblical faithfulness and purity (Acts 11:29-30; 15:3, 36, 41; 16:5) and ministering to the needy (Rom. 15:26-27; Gal. 2:10; 6:10), thus proclaiming and defending God’s perfect law and glorious gospel of grace throughout the world (Luke 24:47; Acts 20:20-21, 27; Rom. 1:15-8:39; Jude 3).
