There are three specific areas that are crucial to a dynamic church. They are:
The Mission The Vision The Ministry
Tucker Swamp's Mission
Reach Out
Reach Up
Reach In
Reach out through evangelism
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:17-18
the church only exists to reach the lost. We have a short time to be about God's work of proclaiming the gospel. If we aren't leading people to Christ, we aren't answering God's call to reconcile His people to Himself.
Reach up through worship
"For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ, and have no confidence in the flesh." Philippians 3:3
We are set apart to worship and honor God.
Reach in through discipleship and fellowship
"Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you are also doing."
We develop relationships through
small group Bible studies
church gatherings and functions
discipleship classes
We are called to bring each other into the church body and develop relationships whereby we serve and encourage each other.
