EXALTING CHRIST

BUILDING THE CHURCH

SERVING THE WORLD


We are a church that embraces the gospel of the grace of God in Jesus Christ, holds firmly to the riches of the historic Christian faith, nurtures a community of believers, and mobilizes ministries to bring about personal and cultural renewal through the lordship of Jesus over all things.

We Exist to Glorify Christ in Joyful Community through Worship, Fellowship, and Witness.


THE GOSPEL

We are a gospel-centered church. The gospel is the good news about God and his Son. Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God has accomplished eternal salvation for all who believe this good news and put their trust in him. Through this same gospel, God gives us his Holy Spirit—the Spirit of his Son—to transform our hearts and minds so that we live and love like Jesus. We are not merely justified by the gospel and then move on to sanctification through our own efforts. Rather, the gospel is both the way to salvation through faith and the way we grow and mature in faith. This good news is central to our mission as the body of Christ. Everything flows from the reality of Jesus. In all that we do, we strive to point people to the gospel and help them believe it and live it.

THE HISTORIC CHRISTIAN FAITH

We are a Reformed catholic church. We recognize that we are not the first church, the only church, or even the best church Jesus has in the world. Jesus established an ancient church, and he has been building it up in every age and in every nation. This is the small “c” catholic church, the universal body of Christ in the world. We understand ourselves to be part of that universal church, and we maintain our connection to it by holding in common with it the historic Christian faith, which is summarized in the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. Within this common faith, we are committed to celebrating our Reformed and Presbyterian heritage without becoming sectarian. In our mission, we seek to cooperate with likeminded, evangelical believers and churches.

COMMUNITY

We are a local church. We take seriously the Bible’s teaching that we are the family of God. We seek to be a community of brothers and sisters in Christ where everyone feels a sense of belonging, where we care for, encourage, and forgive one another, and where deep bonds of Christian friendship are formed and strengthened. Another word for community in the Bible is “fellowship.” Biblical fellowship is more than sharing a meal. It means sharing a common life. Fellowship means being in each other’s homes, working and worshiping with each other, and going through life’s joys and challenges together. In our mission, we aim to build this kind of community by practicing biblical fellowship.

SERVICE

We are a kingdom church. God has exalted Jesus to his right hand and has given him all authority in heaven and on earth. The lordship of Jesus covers and claims all creation. The church is called to advance the kingdom of Christ, to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to work for the good of the neighborhoods where God has placed us. In our mission, we are committed to ministering in our community, nation, and world to bring about spiritual and cultural renewal for God’s glory. We seek to accomplish this by mobilizing our members to carry out ministries both inside and outside the church. We aim to help our members discover, define, develop, and deploy the spiritual gifts that God has given them.


The Forks Mission Team, who will travel to Bolivia on June 29th and return home on July 12th, ask for prayer. Pray for all those who work under the umbrella of our mission sending agency, LATCOM: Tim Ramsey, John Lytle, Nathan Ramsey; along with Bolivian Missionaries Omar and Ana Vasquez and also Onesimo and Elodia Rojas. This team will be constantly traveling to different cities, towns and villages to do the work and ministry of evangelism in many forms. Logistics involve, travel arrangements, scheduling of events, lodging and meals, gathering and writing teaching materials, crafts, and most especially Spiritual preparation.


The team will be taking the generously donated items of need for those in the jungle villages and also for the girls who reside in the New Heart Foundation home. The team desperately needs the leading, guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit.


Your prayers are needed that God would be glorified and worshiped, and that the team would be sanctified through this mission endeavor. We, as a church are blessed to be a blessing. Let us pray and rejoice in this wonderful call of God that the Gospel would be proclaimed and received.


May the Lord Jesus Christ be exalted! 

KINGDOM KIDS Junior Church is Here!


We are excited to restart “Jr. Church” for children from Age 5 to Second Grade.


Our goal is to help raise up children for God’s Kingdom, so we have named this ministry “Kingdom Kids”! We will be using curriculum from “BibleZone Live”.


Children will start the regular Sunday service with their parents, and then go down to the Education Wing to have fun learning about God’s Kingdom. They will rejoin their parents in time for the end of the service.


We are thankful that so many have volunteered to serve this important ministry!

    By Wesley Grubb 01 May, 2024
    Thirty-five years ago, in April of 1989, my parents became Christians. They were in their late 20s, and I was only two years old (I turned three that December). They were led to the Lord by a team of door-to-door evangelists from a tiny local church in our hometown. After my parents were saved, that door-to-door team invited them to church and made sure they had a place to belong. Mom and dad made great friends and built relationships that have lasted to this day, all these years later. Once mom and dad found their place in the church, they had the opportunity to help others find a place. That small, country church in the tiny town of Denton, NC, felt like a genuine family. People loved each other, spent time with each other during the week, raised their families together, worshiped the Lord passionately, prayed fervently, were hungry for God’s word, shared their faith, and continued doing what they did best—being the warmest, kindest, most welcoming congregation in town. By the time I was in high school, the church had built a new facility, launched two Sunday services, and at its height reached 500 members. Not bad for a town of twelve hundred! There is no magic formula for growing a big church, and there is no guarantee that every church that does what my old home church did will see the same results. God is in charge of the growth of our church. The numbers are up to him, but obedience is up to us. Being a “one another” church like my old home church is not a magic formula; it is the normal expectation of every local church, regardless of its size. If we are the body of Christ, if we are brothers and sisters in the Lord, if we are truly members together in the family of God—then our Christian lives ought to reflect that reality outside of Sunday and outside the walls of our building. We are called to be a genuine family that cares for one another and shows up to support the church. If we all strive more and more to be a congregation that worships passionately, prays fervently, studies the Scriptures deeply, and loves each other selflessly, we will truly be the kind of church that is situated perfectly to receive the outpouring of God’s blessings. We will absolutely grow spiritually, and, God willing, we will be ripe to grow numerically as well. I will never forget one time as a teenager something the pastor of my old home church said. He and I, along with some others from the church, went to lunch at a local restaurant. As we were eating, a man came up to the table who knew someone in our group named Rick. Rick said, “Hey, I would like to introduce you to my minister. This is Charles.” Pastor Charles then said to the guy, “Hey, I would like you to meet Rick; he’s my minister.” Charles wanted the whole church to have that mindset: he was the pastor, but every member is a minister. In Ephesians 4:12, Paul teaches that every church member should be equipped to do the work of ministry and build up the body of Christ. I might be the pastor, but all of us are ministers. We are called to be a “one another” church. I challenge you to give serious thought to how you can join us in this biblical vision for the Forks. Let us walk in obedience to the Lord and watch how he blesses.  Grace and peace, Pastor Wesley
