La Habra Christian Church

Why We Exist As A
"...to present every person mature in Christ." Colossians 1:28

TO FULFILL THAT MISSION HAVE A VISION TO LEAD ALL PEOPLE TO:

* Seek God (Spiritual Growth)
* Honor God (Worship)
* Affirm Families (Fellowship)
* Reach Out (Evangelism)
* Equip Servants (Ministry)

TO THAT END OUR MOTTO IS "Sharing Jesus by Caring for People"

We Are a Christian Church

Our message is "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God." We require no other creed than this one. He alone is Lord and Savior.

We Are a Church of Christ

The church belongs to Him. We have no authority to change the teachings, rewrite the rules, offer altered membership requirements or usurp His authority.

We Are a Church Seeking Unity

We seek to be one in Christ with all others whom He calls His own.

We Are a Church Seeking "Restoration"

As much as possible we are trying to imitate the New Testament precedents. That is why our baptism is by immersion, our communion is every Lord's day, our leaders are called elders, our preaching is about Christ, and our prayers are in Christ's name. Even our church's name is an attempt to imitate the earliest disciples who were called Christians first at Antioch.

We Are a Thinking Church

The Christian faith demands the best of our minds, so we are a studying church wanting to know what the Bible teaches and how we can intelligently apply its teachings in today's world.

We Are a Worshiping Church

Ours is not a dry intellectual approach to God. We rejoice in the Lord; we praise and pray and love and serve from the heart.

We Are a Free Church

Like the earliest New Testament churches, ours is an independent congregation. We have no denominational bishop or superintendent nor national headquarters to determine the policies here. As a congregation, we elect our own leaders, call and support our ministers, decide where our missions money will go and locally determine the outreach programs of the church.

We Are a Growing Church

We want to grow numerically because we are under Christ's commission to disciple the whole world. We want to grow spiritually because we know we have not yet achieved all Christ wants of us.
