KCPC's Mission and Vision for Christ
WHO ARE WE?
AN EVANGELICAL CHURCH. W believe that the Bible is God’s Holy, Inerrant and
Inspired Word and that salvation from sin is by grace alone through Christ
alone, who must be received by faith alone (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3). We do
not use the term 'evangelical' loosely, but understand it as describing those
churches who are building on the faithful witness and "evangel" or gospel of
the apostles found in Scripture.
A CHRIST-CENTERED CHURCH. We believe in Scripture alone as the foundation
of our congregation, Christ alone as the center of our worship and hope of our
salvation, faith alone in Christ by the grace of God alone, and all of our lives
and worship to the glory of God alone! (Luke 24:44-49; John 5:39)
A PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. “Presbyterian” refers to our form of church
government. This congregation is ruled by elders who have been spiritually
gifted by God, examined by the present body of elders and chosen by the
members of the church (Eph. 4:11; 1 Tim. 3:5, 10; 5:22; Acts 6:1-6; 15).
A CHURCH OF THE OPC. We are a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
“Orthodox” means we stand for the straight teaching of the Bible and that
congregations are to be connected and accountable to one another (Acts 15).
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
GOD-CENTERED WORSHIP. The church is an assembly of people who have been
called by God to worship Him, (1 Peter 2:9). One of our primary goals at Ketoctin
Covenant is corporately to enter into God’s presence to give thanks, sing His
praises, hear from His word, confess our sins and make our requests known to
Him (Hebrews 12:18-29).
EVANGELISM. The church is to proclaim the gospel to those who are spiritually
dead in their sins, (Matt. 28:18-20; Eph. 2:1-8). It is our goal to reach out to all
persons, regardless of race, color, lifestyle, background or nationality, with the
love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ so that “all nations whom He has made
will come and worship Him, (Ps. 86:9; Rev. 5:9-11).”
DISCIPLESHIP. It is not only our goal to corporately worship God and evangelize
the community but to minister fully to all of our members. It is our endeavor by
God’s grace that every person mature spiritually and be equipped for every
good work so that they might glorify God in whatever sphere of life they have
been called to, whether it be family, business, manual labor, education, or civil
government, (John 17; Eph. 4:11-16; 2 Tim. 3:16-17).
WHAT IS OUR PLAN?
BIBLICAL WORSHIP. We believe that we are to worship God only in the way He
has commanded us in Scripture. We desire to exalt the Name of Christ in our
community (Deut. 12:31-32; Mark 7:6-7).
BIBLICAL PREACHING AND TEACHING. The means by which God has chosen to
save and disciple His people is through the preaching of the Word, (Rom. 10:17;
John 17:17). Therefore, we place a strong emphasis on biblical preaching and
teaching.
BIBLICAL FELLOWSHIP. We, like the early church, believe that it is important to
fellowship formally as well as informally so as to spur one another on towards
love and good deeds (Acts 2:42; Heb. 10:24).
BIBLICAL PASTORAL CARE. Jesus has charged the elders to shepherd His
people, (1 Pet. 5:1-11; Heb. 13:17). Therefore, the elders take an active role in
the lives of the members providing oversight and training through loving
teaching, counseling, care and discipline.
BIBLICAL LIVING. The goal of salvation is righteous living to the glory of God,
(Titus 3:5). We strive to be practical in our teaching and implement the truth we
learn from the Holy Spirit through the Scriptures in every area of life.
