WHO WE ARE
Our Identity
We are a Spirit-led family of missionary servants learning to worship Jesus in all of life.
When someone comes to believe the gospel they are given a new identity in Christ. The gospel not only saves us ‘from’ sin, it also saves us ‘to’ a new identity (Col 3:12-17). It doesn’t just address the negative (problem) it establishes the positive (purpose). Jesus Christ has saved us from sin—we are no longer slaves to it.
So, at LCC, this means that we are:
A Family
We are children of God who love and care for each other as a family (Eph 2:14–16; Rom 8:12–17).
Missionaries
We are sent ones of God, joining him on his mission to restore all things to himself (Acts 1:8; John 20:21; Matt 24:14; Matt 28:16–20; 2Cor 5:20).
Servants
We are servants of God who serve God and others as a way of life (Jer 29:7; Matt 20:28; Gal 5:13; 1 Pet 4:10).
Disciples
We are disciples of Jesus who take responsibility for our own growth and the growth of others (Mat 4:19; Eph 4:11–16; 2 Pet 3:14–18; 2Tim 1:13; 2Tim 3:16).
Worshippers
We are God’s image-bearers, reflecting and bringing glory to him as a way of life (Eph 1:4–6; Rom 1:18–25, 11:33–12:2).
Our Rhythms
We also believe that there is a direct correlation between who we are and what we do.
In addition to saving us 'from' sin and 'to' a new identity, Jesus has also saved us to righteousness and good works (Eph 2:10). If Jesus has given us a new identity, it means we have new rhythms also.
And so...
As a Family, we GATHER.
As a family, we gather—we gather regularly and corporately on the Lord’s Day in celebration of and catalyst for all God has done for us and continues to do in us and through us as his people.
As disciples, we GROW.
As missionaries, we go—we intentionally seek ways to love and serve our neighbour where we live, work and play in order to declare and display the gospel.
As servants, we GIVE.
As servants, we give—we find ways to generously, sacrificially and joyfully love God and neighbour through stewarding our time, talent and treasure in order to see the mission of God advance locally and globally.
