OUR 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 in 2023.
OUR BELIEFS
We follow the doctrines of the Baptist Faith and Message, 2000. A full copy is available at the link below.
