WHO WE ARE: We are Providence Christian Church.
- Providence: We believe in God’s providence as the cornerstone of our faith and practice (Prov. 16:9).
- Christian: We are His disciples, and we are called to imitate Christ (Acts 11:26).
- Church: We are those whom Christ loves and died to save (Eph. 5:25).
PURPOSE STATEMENT: We exist to unite families and build generations of disciples to glorify, honor, and serve our sovereign God. We want to be known first and foremost by the person and acronym of CHRIST.
COVENANT COMMUNITY: We are a community of covenanted believers who value spending time together throughout the week. We come alongside one another during times of joy and sorrow and in times of work and leisure to encourage one another to grow in Christ. Through hospitality and Christ-centered fellowship, we hope to become a true family of believers (Matt. 25:31-40; Acts 2:42-46; I John 3:16-17).
HARMONIOUS HOMES: The current state of the home has left most people with poor models—or no models at all—when it comes to what a biblical family looks like. At PCC, we are committed to the discipleship of believers of all ages with a view toward establishing sound, biblical principles upon which the home is built. We believe in distinct, biblical roles for men and women to love and submit, respectively (I Cor. 11:3; Eph. 5:22-32; Col. 3:18-19). We are committed to training moms and dads, including single parents, to disciple their children, with whom they have been entrusted (Deut. 6:4-9; Prov. 22:6). Fathers in particular have a duty to teach and discipline their children (Psalm 78:1-7; Eph. 6:4).
REACHING THE LOST: Evangelism is part of every Christian’s calling, and we teach all our people to look for opportunities to share Christ in the gospel (Matt. 28:18-20). We believe our first mission field is the home, then our community, and then the world at large (Acts 1:8). Our families are wonderful evangelism tools, and when others see our lifestyle, it is a testimony to the life-changing power of Christ (Matt. 5:16; I Peter 3:15).
INTEGRATED WORSHIP: We integrate all generations into our worship service and the majority of our activities at PCC. Our church life is intentionally designed to gather, rather than to separate, the family. We hold to the belief that age-integrated worship brings positive growth to all individuals in the church (Deut. 31:12; Matt. 19:14).
SOLAS: We affirm the five solas of the Protestant Reformation. We are justified by grace alone (Eph. 2:4-5), through faith alone (Eph. 2:8-9), in Christ alone (Acts 4:12), according to Scripture alone (II Tim. 3:14-17), to the glory of God alone (Eph. 1:5-6).
TEACHING GOD’S WORD: God’s Word is our foundation at PCC, and we strive to communicate the truth of Scripture through a steady diet of preaching and teaching. Expository preaching through entire books of the Bible is our primary emphasis in order to bring clarity, passion, conviction, and understanding to the hearers, so that they may embrace God’s perspective on life. This does not preclude topical teaching at times, but presses us to hold up the whole counsel of God in all teaching (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 20:26-27; II Tim. 3:16-17).
