We Love God…
Through Worship and Praise
Worship and praise is an expression of our love to God. Our praise to God is a heartfelt expression of adoration and appreciation of God for who He is and what He has done. At Praise Fellowship Church we incorporate a contemporary format of music including such instruments as guitars, keyboards, and drums. Our desire is to encourage an environment where free and spontaneous worship can be expressed to God.
Through Practice of the Scriptures
We believe The Bible Is the Word of God therefore, we desire to do and teach what the Bible says. Our desire is to experience the Bible, not only know it. Therefore, we value teaching with an emphasis on its application to our personal lives.
We Love People Too…
Through sharing the gospel
The gospel is the message of good news that God is not counting your sins against you and you can be made right with God by accepting his gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. We have a call from God to reach our local area (Dodge County and beyond) to share this good news with as many as we can.
Through small-group meetings
“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a part of the Great Commandment. Our fellowship is not to be a superficial level of social activity but something much deeper. Our need for fellowship leads us to place great emphasis on meeting together in small groups. We gather to worship, to learn, to explore, to share our gifts, and to bear one another’s burdens.
We Want to Make Followers of Jesus…
By Discipling Others
To “disciple” means to assist in spreading the teachings of Jesus. Discipling is simply teaching and encouraging others to spiritual growth and maturity at the same time as we grow ourselves.
By Training and Equipping
We must all learn to pray for the sick, to witness, to minister to the hurting, or any other scriptural activity. We have opportunity for education, to gain the scriptural basis for what we are to do. But, in addition to education, there must be opportunity to experience hands-on, practical application of what we learn. Education is provided through scriptural teaching and preaching, through Bible studies, and specific ministry classes. But training and equipping takes place more in small groups where there is opportunity to experience the work of the ministry. We highly value a well-equipped and mobilized community of people, able to carry on the Lord’s work here on earth. With a quality children’s ministry, we are training children to serve the Lord with their gifts. With an excellent youth ministry we are challenging teens to stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to life. With a dynamic parenting curriculum, we are helping parents to train their children to be Biblically and morally responsible. We value the family as God’s ordained unit of strength and stability for a church, a society, and a world.
