Our Faith Statement and Key Purposes

Faith Statement

We are a congregation of believers united on a spiritual journey which is guided by a belief in God as revealed in our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, and empowered through the Holy Spirit, as presented to us in the teachings of the Bible.

We believe that God's grace has been extended to us through our faith in Christ Jesus and we have accepted His call to a life of love for God and God's people. We are sustained in this endeavor through prayer, the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, our relationships with one another and with the God-given gifts that we bring to these relationships. We recognize the uniqueness of our members regarding their individual beliefs and experiences and join them as Christian brothers and sisters on their faith journey.

 

Our Key Purposes
 
Serving Gurnee and beyond with the love of Christ
A key purpose of Gurnee Community Church is to search out, discover, and minister to physical, emotional and spiritual needs among people of all cultures and generations, first locally and then beyond, giving everyone the opportunity to encounter Christ and His Gospel, through our open doors, compassionate hands-on service, and the sacrificial use of our spiritual gifts and resources.
 
Growing in Christ by nurturing one another
A key purpose of Gurnee Community Church is to encourage, equip, and minister to one another, regardless of where one is on their spiritual journey, as we grow to become mature disciples – developing a Christ-like character and an intimate relationship with God – through both shared and personal spiritual disciplines including worship, prayer, Bible study, community, evangelism, service and stewardship.
 
Worshiping God in all that we do
A key purpose of Gurnee Community Church is to engage and inspire all who enter here, regardless of age or background, to actively and regularly worship God, both collectively and individually, as followers of Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit, primarily through biblical teaching, prayer, the sacraments, and expressions of praise.
