PBC

Welcome to PBC!

Our PURPOSE: To glorify God the Father, Son, and Spirit in all things, at all times, forever.

The GOSPEL: The Gospel (Good News) has, for the most part, been lost today. It has been reduced to praying a magical prayer, asking Jesus into your heart, some form of religious ceremony, "making a decision for Jesus," or "making disciples." The pure and unadulterated GOSPEL has been twisted into being about our response to it. It's morphed into a message of "personal salvation" rather than one about King Jesus and King Jesus' Gospel-communities. It's been complicated by our adding things (works) to its divine simplicity.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel,"  2 Timothy 2:8

The GOSPEL is quite simply this: Jesus, Anointed One (Christ/Messiah), Risen King!

The Apostle Paul also wrote, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone believing..." Romans 1:16a

Our need to respond to the GOSPEL is essential, but the need is not the Gospel. That would be like saying the need to respond to being in a burning building IS the burning building. Our response to the Gospel is not the Gospel either. That would be like saying how you feel about a movie IS the movie. The GOSPEL is: Jesus, Anointed One, Risen King! That is, as Paul wrote, "the power of God unto salvation for everyone believing."

The VISION: A Spirit-led church revealing Christ through unity in worship. That means our vision is to be a Spirit-led Gospel-community, gospelizing the Gospel: Jesus, Anointed One, Resurrected King.

The MISSION: to pursue, win, disciple the lost, deluded, and disillusioned for God's glory! That means our mission is to follow Jesus' imperative command, "Disciple!" in advancing the Gospel, teaching the Gospel, preaching the Gospel, and thereby establishing new Gospel-communities and strengthening existing ones.

Come join us this Sunday at 10 am to hear the GOOD NEWS! We're saving a place just for you!

Blessings,
