Here are a few snippets of how we love Jesus and follow his way.

Greenwood Community Church Inside & Out

Here are just a few details about how we love Jesus and follow his way.

WHO WE ARE

We are an intergenerational community experiencing God’s love and transforming grace through our Savior Jesus Christ. We are committed to being formed by the Spirit into a people who love Jesus and express our love by following His Way of life like His earliest disciples. We believe the Way of Jesus is marked by God’s radical love and peace for all people; his love is the most powerful transforming power that exists, and His Way stands in contrast to the present selfishness and tribalism of our modern culture. We desire to see new generations raised with this guiding vision. We welcome everybody, regardless of their background, to join us on this journey.

MORE ABOUT US

We are a community of people seeking to embody a set of beliefs and values. As a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, our theological foundation is a set of beliefs known as the Essentials of Our Faith. Additionally, we are guided by a set of values that hopefully permeate our life and mission together as we follow Jesus.

THE SACRAMENTS

As a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, we observe both communion and baptism as sacraments. In the classical language of Augustine, a sacrament is “an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.” There is a spiritual or sacramental relationship between the bread and cup and the spiritual presence of the risen Christ mediating his grace to us.

Baptism by Profession of Faith services are held periodically through the year. If you are interested in learning more about this sacrament, check out our event page for details of the next opportunity or speak with one of our pastors.

We believe the most important part of this life is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ and an invaluable part of that is being in community with others learning to love Him and follow his way of life. We are on this journey together–regardless of how imperfect and messy–and we invite you to join us!

Life with Jesus Guide

Life with Jesus in Guide

We can see in scripture that Jesus arranged his life around three rhythms: worship, community, and mission. We have identified six core discipleship commitments that we aspire to in our journey as a disciple of Jesus. These core commitments give clarity to the rhythms and are supported by the practices. We developed a resource to help you discern your next step with these commitments and practices called, “The Life with Jesus Guide: Discerning Your Next Step.”
