Words from OUR PASTOR

​

Coopers Gap family, what a joy it is to be called your Pastor!  I look forward to getting to know each one of you as we grow together as disciples of Jesus Christ. 

​

As we start this journey together, I would like to encourage everyone to come out on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. for Wednesdays in the Word.  For an overview of what we’ll be studying together this month, we’ll dig into what a healthy church looks like according to God’s Word. 

First, a healthy church must be founded on the four great pillars of confession, commitment, commandment and commission as found in the Gospel of Matthew.  Together we’ll unpack each of these over the next few weeks.

 

·         Great Confession  Matthew 16:15-19

We confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

 

·         Great Commitment  Matthew 16:24-27

We must commit ourselves to following Jesus

 

·         Great Commandment Matthew 28:19-20

We commit to loving God and others.

 

·         Great Commission Matthew 28:19-20

We will carry out Christ’s commission to His church in our world.  Making disciples must be our priority as a church.

 

            I look forward to seeing you each Wednesday night as we study God’s Word together. 

Please know that my door is always open for you to come by and talk if you would like to.  I’m here to help in any way that I can.

​

                                Many blessings,

                                           Pastor James
