THE 3 PILLARS OF
SWEETWATERS CHURCH
01
LOVING
We express our love to God through presence driven worship. We demonstrate our love to others, by building strong families, by being planted in the local church and reaching our community with God’s love.
02
GROWING
We believe in the importance of God’s Word for our growth, both in our personal devotion times, as well as during the corporate gatherings. Every Sunday, the preaching of God’s Word is both inspired and anointed, accompanied by the demonstration of God’s miraculous restoration power.
03
SERVING
We believe that everyone has a gifting that God has given them to serve people and build the local Church. We help people discover their gifting, equip them and release them to serve and impact the lives of others.
CORE VALUES
We aspire to live out these core values with complete dependence on the Holy Spirit knowing that without His empowerment, our efforts are futile.
1) WE BEND TO THE BOOK (EPHESIANS 2:20)
We believe the Church is built on the foundation of God’s revealed Word with Jesus Christ being the central focus.
2) WE REFLECT THE REALITY OF HEAVEN (REVELATION 5:9)
We aim to become an increasingly diverse church because a unified diversity reflects the heart of God and benefits us all.
3) WE ARE FUELED BY FAITH (EPHESIANS 3:20-21)
Knowing that without faith it is impossible to please God, we seek to be a people marked by bold faith.
4) WE PLAY THE BENCH
(1 TIMOTHY 4:12)
Emerging leaders are the future of the Church and we seek to empower emerging leaders to participate in God’s global purposes.
5) WE CLEAR THE PATH TO JESUS
(ACTS 15:19)
We believe it is our responsibility and privilege to introduce people to Jesus.
6) WE DO LIFE TOGETHER
(ACTS 2:42-47)
We believe the Christian life was designed for community. As we grow in our commitment to Christ our horizontal relationships are strengthened.
7) WE NOTICE THE UNNOTICEABLE
(MATTHEW 25:40)
We believe God opens our eyes to brokenness and injustice as we are permeated with the hope of Christ.
8) WE INSPIRE THROUGH GRACE
(EPHESIANS 2:8)
We believe God changes us from the inside out through grace.
9) WE EXPORT THE BEST
(ACTS 13:2)
We believe God has charged us to be on a mission. We give of our best to expand the mission and generously engage the world around us.
10) WE GO ALL OUT
(COLOSSIANS 3:23)
We believe God calls us to strive for excellence. We seek to honor God in response to grace not to earn it.
