the Difference: (A Kingdom Now Theology)
We have to ask ourselves a couple of questions at this point before we go on. This will help us to establish our identity firmly in our minds and will even give us boundaries and direction as we approach our strategies to accomplish the overall purposes of the church.
What makes us different from any other church in Rockville and the DC metro area?
Why does the area need us?
Here's what makes us different:
OUR UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES
1 - Intimacy (with GOD and each other. "Connecting People to GOD & each other." [We are intimate].
2 - Worship (Building a Temple for GOD individually and corporately by instilling a spirit of adoration in HIS people). [We demonstrate passion]
3 - Experiences with GOD (Interaction with our Father=GOD, our Lover=Jesus and our Teacher=the Holy Spirit which together as the Trinity are our LORD). [We are Supernatural]
4 - Power Encounters with the world (This is GOD by means of HIS intimate followers, becoming intimate with the world). [We are available for GOD's use]
5 - Radical Harmony (A marriage of the Spirit and the Word as a cultural lifestyle). [We are balanced]
6 - Doin' the Stuff (Whether healing or services, this is all done "...as unto the LORD..." Jesus Himself with HIS heart for others). [We are active]
This leaves us with a very simple theological creed that with the fuller foundational beliefs make us a doctrinally sound church. These are the theological points that together set us apart as a vital part of the DC church community. However, they do not stand alone apart from all of our foundational beliefs. Many churches have some or a few of these beliefs and core practices, however, we believe that our unique mix makes an important and needed part of the larger family of churches in our area.
