Our Identity
We desire to see God, by His grace, continue to build through us a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, mission-minded, biblically grounded church of Christ where we watch our life and doctrine closely as we minister to one another and to a lost world.
Biblical Depth and Teaching
Our imperative for the North River Church of Christ is to be a people thoroughly grounded in the Word of God. Ephesians 4:1-16 lays out the biblical model for a mature church. We are committed to following that pattern and teaching.
Our Two-Fold Mission:
Reaching the Lost and Serving Those in Need
Evangelism (Matthew 28)
Benevolence & Community Service (Matthew 25).
Each disciple should follow Jesus’ example of lifestyle evangelism and lifestyle service. As a church, we encourage each Family Group to develop an outreach plan and a community service focus such as ministering to the elderly, a prison ministry, feeding the poor, or mentoring.
Our Commitment to the Next Generation
Our One Another Relationships (John 13:34-35)
Family Groups: We will continue to encourage every member at North River to be an active part of a Family Group as a vehicle to practice the many one another passages in the New Testament, as well as develop a close network of friends in the church. We want to build closer relationships with the campus, singles and adult Family Groups for encouragement and mentoring.
The Older Teach the Younger (Titus 2:1-5, I Peter 5:5): The Bible emphasizes the older teaching the younger in mentoring/discipling relationships. We particularly want to focus on special need areas including new Christians, engaged couples, new marriages, young families, academic and career development, sexual purity and areas of self control. We encourage every disciple to seek out relationships that will follow this Biblical pattern.
The Brotherhood (I Peter 2:17): We want to encourage participation in brotherhood events around the country and engage in regular fellowship opportunities with our Atlanta family of sister churches.
