Our Purpose Here 
At Lincoln Avenue:
 

"To lead people into a growing 

relationship with Jesus Christ."

We Value:

1)  Worship - We believe that complete worship to God 

is a necessary part of every believers life.

2)  Ministry - We believe that every believer has been given 

gifts and talents by God and should use them to minister 

to others.

3)  Evangelism - We believe it is the responsibility of every 

believer to share their faith and touch their community with

the gospel of Jesus Christ.

4)  Discipleship - We believe that every believer should be 

committed to personal spiritual growth.

5)  Fellowship - We believe that connecting with other 

believers is a vital part of Christianity and necessary for

friendship and accountability.

We want to be a church where...
 
People are welcomed and accepted.  
Also, a place where neighbors become 
friends, and where friends become family.   
John 13:34-35; Matthew 22:37-39
 
Marriages are strengthened and families
are built up.  Also, a place where children
and young people have fun while they learn
about God, and where they can discover His 
will for their lives.   Ephesians 5:32-33; 
Matthew 19:14
 
The Bible is taught in practical and interesting
ways so that people can apply it to their daily
lives.  Also, a place where the music is fresh
and exciting.   2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 96:1
 
The hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, 
and the confused can find love, hope, forgiveness,
and encouragement.   Luke 14:18-20
 
The Good News of Jesus Christ is shared 
and people make a genuine commitment to 
follow Him with their lives.   John 3:16; John 1:12
 
People are encouraged to grow in their faith
through Bible studies, small groups, seminars,
retreats, and weekly messages.  Acts 2:42; 
Ephesians 4:13b
 
Every believer is equipped for a significant
ministry by helping them discover and use 
the gifts and talents that God has given them.
Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 4:10
 
People are empowered and sent out into the
world to fulfill their personal life mission.  
Also, a place where expanding God's kingdom
through sending out missionaries and planting
new churches is seen as a priority.   
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8
 
The Total person can be ministered to - spiritually, 
emotionally, physically, and socially.  Romans 8:29;
2 Corinthians 10:13
 
All that is said and done brings honor to God's name!
