COURAGEOUS - February 12, 20125:30 PM | FREE ADMISSIONFour men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and to their children?Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.

GROW IN GRACEOur Ministry to women is modeled after Paul's instruction to Titus, where the spiritually mature women are to invest themselves in the younger women of the church."The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed." Titus 2:3-5We believe that those who have been godly wives, and or mothers have experienced some wisdom to share with those younger women who are becoming wives and mothers. We also believe that godly women should be intentionally investing in the development of teenage young ladies and girls.We implement this through focused Bible studies, character training, and skills development events.We believe these intentions and activities fulfill Peter's admonition for believers to Grow in the Grace of Jesus Christ. “. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...” 2 Peter 3:18Check back often for updates on future events.

Our Mission and Vision To challenge every person to CONNECT with Christ and His Church, to GROW to maturity in Christ, and to SERVE as part of the Body of Christ.CONNECT | GROW | SERVECONNECT - is all about establishing and building relationships! We believe that establishing a relationship with God and others is the beginning of our faith journey. The easiest place for this to happen is as believers share their faith or on Sunday mornings at our worship service. Building relationships happens as believers share life together and at special events meant for worship and fellowshipGROW - is all about spiritual growth! We believe that spiritual growth happens best in connection with other people. We encourage people to join a Grow Group, a small group of people who meet regularly for the purpose of growing in faith. The group might be a Bible or topical/issue study, it might consist of people of the same age, gender, geographic area, interest, etc., or any combination of those things. Growth also takes place in short-term or even one-day classes that help us take steps of faith.SERVE - alongside fellow followers of Christ. Sylvan Park Church is full of ministry and service opportunities. Maybe you love greeting people, teaching, making phone calls, singing, writing notes of encouragement, cleaning, organizing, landscaping. It takes all of us working together for the church to function as God intended. He empowers us to serve, and multiplies our efforts in exponential ways.
WHAT WE BELIEVE God - God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Righteous Ruler of the universe. He has revealed Himself in nature, and in the Scriptures of the Holy Bible as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: yet as one God.Jesus Christ - He is God's unique Son; the only one of a kind. The Scripture teaches that He is God revealed in flesh. In His Divine nature He is truly God and in His human nature truly man. He is the One once crucified for man's sin, the now risen and glorified Savior and Lord who mediates between God and man and who gives us access to the Father through His intercession. None can come to the Father unless they come through Him.Holy Spirit - All of the attributes of God are ascribed to the Holy Spirit by the Scriptures. It is He who convicts and convinces men of their sin. He also convinces man of that which is right, and that a final day of judgment will come. He, it is, who comes to live in us at conversion, to open our understanding to the Scripture, and to lead us into the truth.The Bible - God used holy men to write the Scriptures. They are, in both the Old and New Testaments, the very words God intended us to have. They are, as given by God, without error and are our only rule of faith and practice. We profit from them by learning the truth about many things: they also speak to us about wrong doing; they even correct us and get us back on course as well as instructing us in right living.Man - God created man in a state of innocence. Man, being tempted by Satan, yielded and willfully disobeyed God, becoming a sinner and incurring God's judgment upon sin. All of Adam's descendants inherit his fallen nature and thus have a natural inclination to sin. When one comes to an age of accountability, he is guilty of sinning before God and in need of salvation.God's Relationship to His Creatures and Creation - God exercises a wise and benevolent providence over all beings and things. He maintains the laws of nature and performs special acts as the highest welfare of mankind and His created order of things require.Salvation - Man receives pardon and forgiveness for his sins when he admits to God that he is a sinner, when in godly sorrow he turns from them and trusts in the work of Christ as redemption for his sin. This acceptance of God's great salvation involves belief in Christ's death on the cross as man's substitute and the fact of God's raising Him from the dead as predicted. It is a salvation by grace alone and not of works.Who Can be Saved? - It is God's will that all be saved, but since man has the power of choice, God saves only those who repent of their sin and believe in the work of Christ on the cross. Those who refuse in this life to repent and believe have no later chance to be saved and thus condemn themselves to eternal damnation by their unbelief.Perseverance - There are strong grounds to be assured that the saved will persevere unto the end and be saved because of the power of divine grace pledged for their support. We believe that any saved person who has sinned (whether we call him a backslider or sinner), but has a desire to repent, may do so and be restored to God's favor and fellowship. Since man, however, continues to have free choice, it is possible because of temptations and the weakness of human flesh for him to fall into the practice of sin and to make shipwreck of his faith and be lost.Gospel Ordinances - Free Will Baptists believe the Bible teaches three ordinances for the church to practice: Baptism in water by immersion, the Lord's Supper, to be perpetuated until His return, and the Washing of the Saints' feet, an ordinance teaching humility.Resurrection - The Scriptures teach the resurrection of the bodies of all people. They who have believed and been obedient will come forth to the resurrection of life, and they who have not believed and have been disobedient to the resurrection of eternal punishment.Church Government – We believe in local church autonomy, that is that churches are self-governing. The local church is the highest authority in the denomination. Local churches voluntarily organize themselves into quarterly meetings, district, state, and national associations for the purpose of promoting the cause of Christ on the local, state, district, national, and world-wide level.Christ's Second Coming - The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, who ascended on high and sits at the right hand of God, will come again to close the Gospel dispensation, glorify His saints, and judge the world.Missions – Jesus commanded the church to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Until all have been presented with God’s offer of salvationFor an in-depth study of Free Will Baptist beliefs and practices, ask for a copy of the Free Will Baptist Treatise.
