Our Kingdom Directive

Learn about our church, what we believe, the discipleship process and more.

We are welcoming and faith-filled community of believers dedicated to worship, service, and spiritual growth. Our mission is to share God’s love, strengthen our faith, and serve our local community.

We believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of God’s love to transform lives. Our church upholds the authority of the Bible, the importance of prayer, and the calling to live out our faith through worship, fellowship, and service.

 

We believe in the universal church, which is composed of everyone who has received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, irrespective of race, creed or culture.  We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus and an outward sign of our entrance into the body of Christ.  We believe that communion is the sacred right and a privilege of every believer.  It should be shared solemnly as often as desired for the purpose of communing with our Lord and Savior as one body in Christ.

 

We believe in the great commission to; “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things commanded of God.

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We uphold God’s word as our rule of law and order.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20

 

One of our main missions is to be obedient to the command of Jesus and make disciples through our discipleship programs.  To be discipled here at Koinonia Christian Church, you must complete a six step process outlined in the below image.

 

We maintain a core team of professionals who oversee all executive functions and decisions at the church.  This includes adhering to strict city, state and federal guidelines when it comes to church operations.  Our financial records are subject to many audits to ensure those same guidelines are not only being met but exceeded.  We operate in full transparency.

 

All decisions are done through prayer and collaboration.  We stand on obedience to the call and Word of God.  All positions at the church function under our Kingdom Directive which is centered on uplifting the name of Jesus.

Being a member is open to everyone who has accepted Christ as their savior and are in agreement with our Kingdom Directive.  Each member takes upon themselves our covenant.  Understanding that you are not only a member of the church but a gifted and empowered minister within this church and thus commit to discovering your gifts and talents, to being equipped and discipled to minister more effectively, and to develop a servant’s heart of love in order to connect people with Christ.

 

As a Transformed Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you take this covenant together with other members to attend faithfully, to worship joyfully, to grow consistently, to give generously, to share Jesus boldly and to live a Godly life.
