Love God in His Word
by daily growing in our obedience and submission, corporately and individually, to His inspired, inerrant and infallible written Word.
What We Believe
We believe that every word in the original writings of the Holy Scriptures is inspired by God and therefore without error. We accept the Holy Scriptures as the supreme and final authority on all matters on which it speaks. (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 2 Pet. 1:19-21; Psa.19:1-7)
The Baptist Faith and Message was prepared as a statement of generally held convictions and a guide to understanding what Baptist believe. Confessions have been essential to the Baptist tradition of faith and practice. Baptist churches, associations, and general bodies have adopted confessions of faith as a witness to the world, and as instruments of doctrinal accountability. Richland Creek Community Church follows the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted on June 14, 2000.
DISCIPLESHIP GOALS
In Matthew 22:34-40 Jesus summarizes two basic commands: Love God and love others. Both of these commands exist under God’s love for us as demonstrated in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. We believe every member is equipped by the Holy Spirit to grow in the following core competencies, which define who we are and set the agenda for our ministry focus:
Love God in Prayer
by devoting ourselves, corporately and individually, to daily communicating with God in light of who He is and what He has done according to His Word.
Love God in Our Witness
by actively telling others the Good News of Jesus Christ according to His Word and sharing our testimony of salvation by grace.
Love God in Our Worship
by exalting and praising Him in everything that we do both corporately and individually.
Love Others through Church Community
through intentional relationships for encouragement, accountability, and holiness both corporately and individually.
Love Others through Our Ministry
by using our God-given gifts to advance the church’s mission and meet spiritual, physical and emotional needs.
Love Others through Our Generosity
following the example of Christ by joyfully denying self, with open hands putting others’ needs ahead of our own.
Love Others while On Mission
by intentionally and sacrificially engaging our communities and the world with the Gospel.
