Our vision

Our mission is to help people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to make Him known to the world around us. We help you find community and foster relationships with other believers with the hope of growing closer to Christ together.

To Grow in Christ and Make him known

At Praise, we prayerfully make disciples. A disciple is one who receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then obediently develops a healthy, loving, lifelong relationship with God and healthy, loving relationships with man according to God’s Word, the Holy Bible. A disciple is a growing Christian who is becoming more like Christ by being established in disciplines including study and application of God’s Word, solitude, prayer, fasting, worship, fellowship and witnessing.

We seek to be a church where people truly love one another and lives are transformed from brokenness to wholeness through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Children, youth, and adults are invited to seek God’s wisdom, to trust him to empower their lives, and to commit to living in loving obedience to His Word.

Through intentional, integrated and supportive means all are encouraged to build a healthy, lifelong relationship with God and, as a result, healthy relationships with man as in unity we grow in Christ and make Him known.

Our beliefs

Praise Christian Fellowship is a member of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America. The following is our statement of faith:

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is the only source and guide for faith, teachings about God, and life.

  • We accept the Lutheran Church’s confession of faith as being in agreement with God’s Word.

  • We believe that a congregation is a gathering of believing Christians where the Word of God is faithfully preached and where the sacraments (communion and baptism) are performed in accordance with God’s Word.

  • We believe in a personal experience of salvation in Christ.

  • We conduct our services based on the Word of God, which occupies the most prominent place in the service.

  • We encourage the spreading of the Gospel and furthering the work of the Kingdom of God by all believing Christians.

  • We seek to support parents by teaching our youth and children to be followers of Christ and affirm the parents’ place as the main spiritual influence on their children.

  • We support mission work in our community, region, nation, and all over the world.

  • As a church and as individual members of Praise Christian Fellowship, we are actively seeking to give people of all ages an opportunity to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
