At Walnut Creek Community Church at Jordan Park, we believe our purpose is to love God wholeheartedly and to love all people. With this in mind, we desire to let all men know of the good news of Jesus Christ through the sharing of our lives and the wonderful message of hope found in the Bible.
Jesus described his mission when he said, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19)
With the help of the Spirit of God, we seek to demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways: caring for those who have a physical, financial, or emotional needs; loyally supporting and defending one another’s reputations; committing ourselves to one another’s spiritual growth; and developing close, edifying friendships. We desire greatly to be known as a church which demonstrates the love of God in very warm and practical ways (I John 4:7).
We desire to strike the balance of loving in such a way as to accept people where they are and yet strive in gentleness and humility to see each person change to become all that God would want them to be.
