What We Believe

At Fairview Heights Church of God

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a G.R.E.A.T. Church

Our Mission

The mission of the Church of God is to be a caring community of God's covenant people under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit:

• To proclaim the love of God, through Jesus Christ, to all persons;
• To enable persons throughout all the world to experience redemptive love in its fullest meaning through the sanctifying power of the gospel and know Jesus Christ as Savior, Master and Lord;
• To call persons to holiness and discipleship;
• To equip persons to be servants of Christ in the world;
• To live as citizens of the kingdom of God here and now, work for justice, mercy, and peace, and abide in the Christian hope;
• To build up the whole body of Christ in unity.

Membership

A distinctive of the Church of God is its "open membership," based on the belief that every converted person is a part of God's great universal church. Therefore, we at Fairview Heights Church of God proclaim the unity of all God's people, regardless of denominational affiliation.

Missions

In obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) we are a missionary sending church. We support our foreign and domestic missionaries through both prayer and material resources. Those who depend on us for their support are likewise a great blessing to us.
