LOVING RELATIONSHIPS
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Romans 12:10-13
(NIV)
As a church body, we seek to be devoted to one another and to serve one another with the gifts the Spirit has given us. LHHPC offers a variety of opportunities for people of all ages to become more closely connected. In order to minister to people’s deeper needs, relationships are formed through adult classes, small groups, retreats, social events, and ministry projects. We are open to fresh ways to enrich our fellowship and encourage authenticity as our relationships with one another grow deeper.
LIFE-LONG DISCIPLESHIP
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7 (TNIV)
Receiving Christ as Savior and Lord is just the beginning of the Christian life. In relationship with Jesus, we are called to follow Him as changed men and women into a new kind of life in which we are yielded to God’s transforming power, faithful in prayer, and obedient to His word. We seek to foster spiritual growth in ourselves and each other through the study of Scripture and various ministries of the church.
PASSIONATE WORSHIP
Praise the Lord. I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly. Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. Psalm 111:1-3 (NIV)
As individual believers, we worship the triune God with specific acts as well as with our whole lives. As a gathered congregation, we seek to praise, honor, and adore the Lord with humility and Biblical integrity. We strive to integrate contemporary and historical worship elements into our corporate worship and to make worshiping God together a genuine expression of the passion we feel toward our Redeemer and Lord.
COMPASSIONATE OUTREACH
So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us. 1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NRSV)
As a body we are committed to preaching the gospel, creating an atmosphere that welcomes seekers and addresses the needs of our community. We work as well to equip believers to do the same in their individual lives—including effectively sharing their faith with friends and acquaintances. Because we desire to see people from all realms of life and circumstances become disciples of Christ, our congregation has a long history of faithfully supporting missionaries and missions agencies both locally and throughout the world.
