Building a Kingdom Family that Displays the Love of Jesus.

We are a new church serving the Fordham Neighborhood. We are joining God in the work of seeing his kingdom expand.  All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus, who gained it by dying humbly on a cross and defeating sin and death in his resurrection. He commands us to go and make disciples of everyone. (Matthew 28:18-20)

God’s kingdom includes individuals from diverse cultures and ethnicities that are transformed into one family. God’s interest isn’t just to save individuals but to create a community of people who worship him and follow his authority. Under his reign, their allegiances are realigned so that  their definition of true family changes. (Acts 2:42-47)

These are three key devotions that build our church…

1.     Know: Devoted to God’s Word

We are a kingdom family that is devoted to knowing the Gospel and God’s word.  The New Testament church was focused on having God’s word and the gospel central. In Acts 2:42 we see how the first church ever started was committed to hearing the word of God taught.

We are a church that preaches the bible and a family where everyone is equipped to understand it and share it with one another.

2.    Live: Like a Kingdom Family

We believe the church is a group of people who commit to following God together. We are people who come from different cultural backgrounds but devote ourselves to intentionally participating in the details of each other’s lives.

This kind of vibrant community is attractive and gives testimony to the skeptical of the veracity of Jesus’ claims to be the savior of the world. The Gospel can change people and how they interact with each other.

3.    Love: Like Jesus’ People

The church Jesus is building is meant to be a  ‘light’ by both words and actions.  We want to be a church where a faithful preservation of the gospel is found. So that we intentionally share with our neighbors the good news of Jesus in spaces that are natural to them. {Acts 17}

In addition, we are a church that is seeking to be an agent of justice, as we seek to promote the justice of God’s kingdom to further influence our neighborhood and the city.
