Our Mission and Vision

VISION STATEMENT:
To be a Church where Everybody is Somebody and JESUS is LORD!

MISSION STATEMENT:
To equip, empower and give opportunity to the believer to do the work of the ministry. So that the hurting and the lost may find their way to the Living, Loving, and Life giving Savior Jesus Christ.

Bible Based:
Jesus said " If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." For this reason we as a church are committed to both preach and obey the Word of God. It is the Foundation of our Faith and the Guide for all Ministry here at Tri-County.

Faith Filled:
Basically we have the Word and we believe it. Heb 13:8 " Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." We believe the same miracles in the bible are for today. And that they happen when God's people stand and believe in God's Word. Also that he wants each of us the have a living relationship with Him!

Worship:
Our worship is alive and uplifting. Our goal is to both, exalt and glorify the Lord, and enter into His presence. Our style is a blended contemporary. We want everyone to meet with the Lord in Worship!

Denomination:
We are under the spiritual, and legal covering of the Church of God of Cleveland, Tennessee. One of the few denominations over 100 years old that still maintains the life and fire of it's original roots.

Pentecostal:
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit gives the utterance.Acts2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

Ministering:
We believe every member is called to minister. That God has a purpose and destiny for each of us. This destiny is found and fulfilled best with in the context of the local church. The function of the church is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Eph. 4:11 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ" As God's destiny is found and fulfilled needs are met.

Loving:
Jesus said "By this shall all men know you are My disciples if you have Love one to another" Jesus said the real church would not be identified by it's doctrines, sacraments, or creeds but by our LOVE. We have all been forgiven of so much and we owe it to God and others to love and forgive. We must not condemn others but help and pray for them.

Not Just Another Church:
As you can see we're not your average church. The reason is we are seeking to break away from church normalcy and dead traditions; and be all God desires us to be. May He and He alone give us our direction.
