OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
We see our mission for Jesus Christ as four-fold: (1) To share Christ’s love and grace to us with other individuals, (2) to become a fully self-sustaining, growing, and multiplying body of Christ, (3) to continue as a missionary support arm for Christ, and (4) to glorify God through worship and service in obedience to His inspired and inerrant Word, the Bible.
OUR MINISTRY
We strive to nurture personal and family spiritual growth according to the Word of God. We want to help you with the most important matters of life—relationships.
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ, God Himself, came to earth as a man. He lived a life of perfect obedience to God the Father, died on the cross to pay the penalty of our sin. Three days later He arose from the grave thereby demonstrating that He had defeated sin, death and Satan. Therefore, when you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and your Lord, your sins are forgiven and you become a child of God (John 1:11-13). You are saved for all of eternity by the free gift of God’s grace, not by your works (Romans 3:23-24, 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8-9). We want to help you understand and apply God’s Word.
RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER PEOPLE
Christians are to be known by their love, and we express God’s love at Houston Presbyterian by encouraging one another, helping one another, spending joyful time with one another, as well as sharing one another’s burdens.
