What is Convergence PDF Print E-mail

We have a vision to build a church where the sacramental, evangelical and charismatic converge for the fulfillment of the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. We recognize that God has established worship streams within His Church, each emphasizing a part of His person and nature.

We are Sacramental, practicing the historically recognized rites which are vital to worship and have been preserved and practiced throughout the ages. We therefore highly value the Sacraments and Sacramental, utilize the primary ancient Creeds, and encourage the use of a liturgy based on biblical and historic traditions along with historic ceremony and Christian symbolism.

We are Evangelical, stressing salvation by faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ through personal conversion, the authority and inerrancy of the Bible, the necessity of evangelism at home and abroad, the priesthood of the believer, and the importance of Spirit-anointed preaching as contrasted with mere ritual.

We are Charismatic, emphasizing the free expression of the gifts and Person of the Holy Spirit, especially in expressive praise and in signs and wonders, a second-experience in filling of the Holy Spirit, personal spiritual growth and holiness, and everyone’s individual call to ministry.
