God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes
3 Piers: The Centrality of the Scriptures, The Lordship of Christ, and the Glory of God
“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also head of the body, the church;” (Col. 1:17-18a). Foundational to being a Biblical church is the fact that Christ is head of the Church. Christians submit themselves to Jesus first, and the human leadership of the church second, and only as they imitate Christ. Jesus Christ is the one who leads the church, sets its practices, and determines its teachings.
“The headship of Christ is done in love. “For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body,” (Eph. 5:23). The leadership of Christ over the body of Christ comes from the fact that He holds all things together, and from the fact that He is Savior.
The church gladly surrenders to the Lordship of Christ as a community of people gathered in worship. When the church gathers faithfully, practices Biblical worship (singing the Word, preaching the Word, praying the Word, practicing the Ordinances, exercising Church discipline, and proclaiming the gospel to the lost), God is honored, and Christ is worshiped as Lord.
By His Grace and For His Glory,
Pastor Mark
