Why
We're Together
Mission Hills Church
is here to lovingly help people everywhere become fully
devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
What Matters Most To Us
The Great Commandment
- Love
"You must love the Lord
your God with all your heart,
all your soul, and all your
mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.
The second is equally important:
Love your neighbor as yourself."
(Matthew 22:37-39)
The Great Confession
- Worship
"Jesus asked His disciples,
'Who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter replied,
'You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!' ";
(Matthew 16:15-16)
The Great Commission
- Connection
"Jesus said to His followers,
'I've been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
Therefore, go and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
Teach these new followers
to obey all the commands I have taught you
and be sure of this: I am
with you always, even to the end of the age.' "
(Matthew 28:18-20)
Steps We're Taking to Follow
Jesus
Worship of
God
As followers of Jesus,
we gather weekly to celebrate His love, experience His
grace and learn His truths. God "shows up" when
we gather to worship Him with openness and sincerity
of heart.
Small Group
Connection
We all know that it's
easy to get lost in the crowd. So, at MHC we encourage
every single person to get involved in one of our small
groups for the purposes of support, encouragement, prayer,
the study of God's Word and the bonding of our hearts
together.
Time Alone
With Jesus
Many of us seem to
talk more about God and not so much to God. We
look but we don't listen. Those who walk with
the Lord must spend time alone with Him in prayer and
meditation upon the life-changing truths that are found
in Scripture.
Responsibility
& Accountability
Everything we have
in life is on loan to us from God. We don't own
a thing. It all belongs to Him and it is simply
our job to use our time, treasure and talents to bring
glory to His Name by working with Him in the building
of His Church here and around the world.
Service to
Others
The most passionate
and compassionate people in the world should be Christians.
We are called to enhance every life we contact with
the generosity, mercy and love of God. The test
of a true Christian is love for others demonstrated
in practical ways that help.
Sharing with
Others
The word "Gospel" actually
means "Good News." The best news in life is all about
Jesus forgiving those who ask Him to be their
Savior from sin and about Jesus giving eternal life
to all who call upon Him to be their God. Sharing
this incredible message with everyone everywhere is
the most important thing we do on earth.
