Mission
Making Christ followers who live to make a difference…
The bottom line is changed lives.
Strategy
The strategy of SSCC involves making Christ followers who live to make a difference by equipping them to Reach Up to worship God, Reach In to grow together, and Reach Out to make a difference at SSCC, our community and the world.
Reach Up: Worship God
Each Christ follower has a direct relationship with God. He has given followers prayer, study and musical worship as ways to do so on their own as well as with large groups (the Church). At SSCC, we seek to create environments where Christ followers can worship God together.
Reach In: Grow Together
In small groups Christ followers learn, ask questions, and build relationships & community to help them grow closer to God and other Christ followers. Our group structure at SSCC gives our people a place to learn and grow through home groups, short-term classes, and Bible studies.
Reach Out: Make a Difference
God’s plan is for us to share the Good News and meet other’s needs. Every Christ follower should be joining in His mission – both individually and as part of a group. At SSCC we provide opportunities for all to make a difference in their local church and also in their community and world.
Core Values
In the process of making Christ followers who live to make a difference…
we are committed to and guided by the following values:
We are a WELCOMING FAMILY of faith committed to Christ and one another.
Our family values love and laughter, informality and spontaneity, grace and hospitality, and commitment and loyalty as we follow Christ together.
We will HONOR GOD’S WORD above the traditions and opinions of men.
The Bible is our ultimate authority and guide for life and faith. We will seek to teach it and live it so as to inspire God’s people with a love for God’s Word.
We seek to be AUTHENTIC AND REAL in our pursuit of Jesus.
People need a life changing relationship with Jesus, not mere religious tradition. Rules and rituals cannot change a person, but Christ changes us from the inside out!
We believe Christ followers need CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY to fully grow.
The optimal place for life change is in the context of a small group that seeks to Reach Up, Reach In, and Reach Out together.
We will take risks & make sacrifices to REACH PEOPLE who don’t know Christ.
The unchurched and unsaved matter to God, therefore they should matter to us. The bottom line is changed lives.
We are SPIRITUAL CONTRIBUTORS, not just spiritual consumers.
Christ followers live with purpose, making a difference in our church, community and world. Our lives are to be marked by service, sacrifice, giving, humility, and love.
We believe the greatest win is to multiply ourselves & RAISE UP LEADERS.
We will reproduce and replace ourselves by apprenticing and discipling others in order to make mature Christ followers and leaders who live to make a difference.
Our church family is only as strong as our individual FAMILIES at home.
Healthy families are a priority for our elders, staff, and entire church body. We should love and care the most for those who are called to walk with us for a lifetime!
We want to stay completely and utterly DEPENDENT UPON GOD!
God’s grace and power will accomplish far more than the best of our human efforts.More than methods, God will use men and women who are filled with the Holy Spirit!
