SERMON SERIES - OCTOBER/NOVEMBER
CORE VALUES
What are the guiding principles we follow when living our everyday lives? How do we apply them? Is it obvious to others what they are? Core Values help us define our boundaries and understand how to prioritize what truly matters to us. They are the compass that guides our decision-making.
Join us as Pastor Chuck discusses these and other issues in the new sermon series beginning October 20 and continuing through November 24. Messages will focus on God’s Word, Prayer, Worship, Service, Outreach and Giving.
WALKER'S MISSION - Pray. Love. Serve.
Pray. Love. Serve. is the new mission statement for Walker 2023 and beyond. Following is a review of the meaning and purpose of this Mission that was introduced in the first three sermons of 2023.
Pray. Our first-level relationship commitment is to God. We strengthen that relationship through ongoing communication with him in prayer, which leads to worship, honor, reverence, respect, and obedience.
Love. Our second-level relationship commitment is to one another (the church). The New Testament is filled with challenges and exhortations to love one another, encourage one another, challenge one another, etc.
Serve. Our third-level relationship commitment is to the world. Our mission is to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the best way we can do that is through our actions. We will serve our fellow man in the spirit of Jesus, and do so with generosity and grace, for that is how Jesus reached us.
Our Mission Statement for Walker Baptist Church. Pray. Love. Serve. May we do so with joy as we follow Jesus.
OUR BELIEFS
We follow the doctrines of the Baptist Faith and Message, 2000. A full copy is available at the link below.
