What Kind of Church Are We?

We are a ‘Christ-centered’ church.
We are a diverse group of people who come from different backgrounds and are at different stages of life. Yet, we all share a common love, gratitude and commitment to our savior, Jesus Christ. We recognize that the Gospel is more than forgiveness, it is total redemption from a life of sin and death. Like John Newton in his great hymn, ‘Amazing Grace,’ we were lost but have now been found, we were blind but now we see. This DNA of gratitude results in vibrant ‘Christ-centered’ worship and a community wide commitment to grow spiritually and bring glory to Christ in our daily lives.
With respect to worship style, we are an Ancient-Future church.
What does that mean exactly? It means that our worship style is a reflection of both our ancient Christian heritage and the modern church culture. We want to draw upon the ancient creeds and confessions while at the same time recognizing that God is working in Christian artists and musicians today. The result is a rich, historical worship style that pleases the Lord and engages modern people. For more on this subject, click here. (link to How We Worship)
We are a new church.
We started with a small group Bible study in September of 2008 at the RunTex store in downtown Georgetown. Our group grew and we took the next step of establishing a Sunday evening worship service beginning in April 2009. Being new is fun because nobody can say, “We’ve never done it that way before!” It’s also fun because there are many ‘firsts’ and everyone in the church has the opportunity to make significant contributions.

We are a Presbyterian church.
We are affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a relatively new and more conservative presbyterian denomination. The PCA is known for:
- Focusing on the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only pathway to life change.
- Biblically sound teaching that is faithful to the inerrant word of God.
- It’s commitment to local and international missions.
Our denominational affiliation not only provides resources and networking opportunities worldwide, it also provides accountability that extends beyond our particular church.
