Why we exist

"WE ARE A PLACE TO BELIEVE, BELONG, AND BECOME."


We want to be a people who care for, welcome, and support those around us in a way that can only be inspired by God. It's our hope that people who visit our church, or interact with our people, walk away feeling encouraged, refreshed, experiencing community and being drawn closer to God and others.. We want every man, woman, and child in our community to have the chance to experience and respond to the Gospel in action through our church, and to become all that God intends.

Our Values

WORSHIP & STUDY

In our worship, we want to glorify and enjoy God. Through prayer and praise, the Word–read and spoken, and Holy Communion we hope that all will experience the majesty and power of God for daily living. In our study of God’s Word, whether in worship, small groups, or classes, we expect to meet God, explore God’s will and intent for our lives, and to fellowship with others on their journey of faith.

EVANGELISM & OUTREACH

By reaching out, listening to, caring about, and serving those around us, we share God's love and message of hope with the people in our community and throughout the world. We want to be God’s living presence in our daily lives, speaking and embodying the Gospel in all aspects of life, that Christ may be seen in us.

MISSIONS & SENDING

We want to be and make disciples through our many service opportunities at Shepherd of the Falls, and also by, supporting and partnering with fellow believers and agencies that are also effectively ministering in our immediate community and in God’s world. We believe in this way, our reach is expanded and more and more people will experience the love and grace of God through human touch.

What We Believe

This is how we view God, Jesus, the Bible, man, and many significant aspects of our faith. Firmly rooted in Scripture, our beliefs guide our decisions as a church.

  • JESUS ...that Jesus is the Son of God–God in the flesh–taking on humanity to reveal the character and nature of God to the world. We believe that Christ is the Savior of this world, taking on our sins through his death on a cross and resurrecting to show us, and prepare for us, being made right with God.
  • THE BIBLE ...that the Bible is the Spirit-inspired word of God, and the sole source and norm for daily living.
  • THE HOLY SPIRIT …the Holy Spirit is the ongoing power of God gifted to us in our baptism into Christ, dwelling in believers and empowering them to live in ways that honor and glorify God.
  • THE TRINITY …we believe in one God who exists eternally expressed as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • PRAYER …in the power of prayer, and we encourage all to take their own and the world’s hurts,hearts, needs, plans, and thanksgiving to God through prayer–always.
  • SALVATION … that all people are created in the likeness of God and that salvation is gifted to them through faith in Jesus.
