Shawmut Community

Service - We are called to mutual respect and love expressed through acts of service. 

The Bible says that the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to believers for the purpose of service in and with the Christian community. Every believer has at least one spiritual gift. All need to discover their gift and become involved in the ministry of the church—as the Corinthians passage says, “for the common good.”

Community - We are many members, yet one body in Jesus Christ who is the head.

- The Great Commandment is our goal

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Commitment - Equip every believer to become spiritually mature Disciple makers

Outreach - We are commissioned to go make disciples

- Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  [New International Version (niv) Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society]
