Effort Baptist Church

Our Values:

Effort exists by the power and grace of God alone. We acknowledge that we are beholden to His grace, forgiveness and redemptive work through Jesus Christ so we seek to honor Him and love Him with our whole lives.

We are a house of prayer, a people of prayer, seeking to always keep a clear line of communication open with God.

We believe in being disciples, lifelong learners of God's truth through biblically based teaching and fidelity to God's word. The more we know God, the more seek to make Him known.

We believe everyone matters to God, so they matter to us.

We believe in being open, honest, friendly, and welcoming.

We believe everyone is gifted for service and we will help each other discover, develop, and deploy those gifts.

We believe excellence in all our work honors God, so we do our best.

We believe that transformative work happens in relationships, relationship with God and with one another, so we value relationships.

We believe the joy of the Lord is our strength so we invite, pursue and share joy in worship, in relationships and in community.

We believe we can be united in purpose without uniformity.

We believe we are agents of God's mission of restoration and reconciliation, so we partner with the Holy Spirit to serve the poor, the oppressed, and the broken-hearted in our community, our country and the world.
