Our Mission:

? Helping one another know Jesus by sharing the Gospel and our lives. (1 Thessalonians 2:8)

o We are a fellowship who seeks to encourage all people to know Jesus. Therefore, we share the

Gospel and our lives with all people ¨C both those inside the church as well as those outside. This

is who we are and what we do. Changing the world takes on different expressions, but one thing

is always the same ¨C we do it in Jesus¡¯ name because He has rescued us.

Our Strategy:

? Gather

o Primary Environment: Worship Gatherings (Hebrews 10:19-25 and Acts 2:44-47)

o ¡°Gather¡± is encountering God in community. When we meet, we put Christ on display. It is

nothing short of a miracle to have the nations and races under one roof, encouraging one another

and worshipping one God. Christianity is done together.

? Grow

o Primary Environment: Life Groups, Bible studies, Next Generation Ministries (Ephesians 4:12-13

and John 20:31)

o ¡°Grow¡± is encountering God through the revelation of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures give us an

eyewitness account of who Jesus is and what He did. We study the Scriptures to learn more

about Jesus, and experience personal transformation. The Word becomes flesh in you. The

church will never grow corporately beyond the capacity of its members to grow individually.

? Go

o Primary Environment: Life on Mission and Ministry and Mission Teams (Acts 1:8 and James 2:14)

o ¡°Go¡± is encountering God through action. You can't explore the depths of Christianity until you

surrender your life to it. We believe that some things can't be understood until you try them. By

doing, you understand. Being a witness for Christ goes beyond our words but is expressed by

our lives.

Our Values:

? Being Christ Centered

o Knowing Jesus and the Word is the best way we can know God.

?

Believing People Matter

o Each person bears the image of God, has intrinsic worth, and is made to reflect the glory of God.

?

Sharing Life Together

o God moves isolated people into a Christ-centered community for the benefit and growth of all.

?

Serving Others First

o Becoming more like Jesus means that we all learn to put others first and serve.

?

Pursuing What¡¯s Next

o Rivertree longs to see the Kingdom advance until Christ returns for His Church, so we encourage

each person to move closer to reflecting the complete image of Christ in every area of life.
