By God's grace, we aim to be a Great Commission church committed to being on mission, on message, and in ministry.
Our DNA
On Mission
The mission Christ entrusts to His church is to “make disciples of all nations”. Therefore, we will be a church committed to sharing Jesus’ message of salvation and helping others follow Jesus locally, nationally, and globally.
(Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8)
On Message
The message of the church is “all that Christ commanded”. Therefore, we will be a church committed to teaching the Bible as God’s revealed will for our lives with an emphasis on the gospel, which is of first importance.
(2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:3-4)
In Ministry
The ministry of the church is to equip members to be mature kingdom laborers. Therefore, we will be a church committed to equipping our members to worship authentically, evangelize intentionally, love purposefully, and learn consistently. *
(Eph. 4:11-13; Acts 2:42-47)
* We are indebted to Pastor Teacher Harry Reeder for developing these principles of ministry that were implemented at Briarwood Presbyterian Church.
We are committed to equipping people to be mature multiplying followers of Christ that are W.E.L.L.
