OUR MISSION
Experience. Connect. Empower.
EXPERIENCE.
Our desire at Little River is for people to EXPERIENCE God in a personal and powerful way. God is not just a historical figure, but He is someone we can personally encounter and experience. It is our sincere belief that God wants to be made known and visible through His presence to all people.
CONNECT.
Once you've experienced His presence, our goal is to CONNECT you to the local church and the Kingdom of God. This core value is important because it focuses on belonging, discipleship and growth.
EMPOWER.
Once you experience and connect, we believe EMPOWERMENT will be a rewarding time in your Christian life. At Little River, we want you to have more than a form of godliness. We want you to possess the power that should follow every born again believer and you activated to help grow the Kingdom of God.
Core Beliefs
We believe in One eternally existing God who created all things. God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit, with distinct attributes but without division of nature, essence, or being. Jesus Christ is God displayed in flesh.
He is both God and man. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, through the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. He was raised from the dead and now by grace offers eternal life as a free gift to all who follow Christ.
That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is active in the world today. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and developing the life characteristics produced by His indwelling are the privileges of all New Testament believers.
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are a Spirit-filled church and a bible-based church.
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
