Additional Info About Our Church
We are a church that makes disciples through dynamic worship experiences, sound biblical doctrine while caring for one another in Christian love. We are a dedicated group of believers committed to building a thriving ministry in Western Massachusetts. Currently we worship at 11 N Main in South Hadley, formerly the home of the Congregational Church of South Hadley Falls. Our high-spirited worship services are contemporary in style, yet maintain the traditional values and Biblical principles that have endured for generations. The teaching and preaching is relevant, practical, and equips people with enduring faith for real life situations.
We Value Scripture: We are committed to clear and accurate communication of God's Word; so that seekers find Christ and believers mature in Him. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
We Value Worship: We strive to acknowledge God's supreme value and worth in our personal and congregational worship experiences. (John 4:23)
We Value Prayer: We rely on private and congregational prayer in the conception, planning, and execution of all church activities. (James 5:16)
We Value Leadership: We acknowledge Christ is the head of the Church and He sends Pastors to lead His local congregations until He returns. (Eph. 4:11)
We Value Fairness: We believe all people matter to God regardless of background or status, therefore all people should be treated fairly with His love. (Jas. 2:2-4)
We Value Encouragement: We encourage a Christian self-image which is not based on personal accomplishments or difficulties, but what God has done for you in Jesus Christ and what you can do through Him. (Phil 4:13)
We Value Excellence: We recognize God set a standard of excellence when He gave His best to us; as a result we only give God our best to Him. (Rom. 8:32)
Vision:
We envision the Christian community in the Pioneer valley living an abundant life. This Christ-centered life affects each aspect of living. There are harmonious fellowships among Christian churches; good stewards meet and exceed their financial goals. This health-conscious Christian body is concerned with physical and mental well-being, as well as spiritual. Strong families abiding by Biblical principles are the foundation of thriving neighborhoods. Believers support businesses owned and operated by other Christians. These active followers enjoy a constant array of Christian activities beyond the walls of their local churches. The Spirit-filled believers enjoy their Christian lifestyle so much that they are eager to invite others to follow Christ.
We envision a new state of the art facility built on a peaceful and serene landscape. It has a reverent sanctuary, personal prayer rooms, Christian education class rooms, community child care center, banquet ready fellowship hall and kitchen, multipurpose rooms, recreational and fitness space and administrative offices. All are designed to minister to the total person; spiritually, physically, and socially.
We envision a generation of young people with zeal, energy and conviction. They are sincere disciples who embrace this vision and are committed to continue in the spirit of this vision for generations to come.
