Several
years ago, a group of people had a deep desire to live their lives
according to God's Word. In June of 1997, this faithful group
of
followers took that step, putting their trust in God to provide them
with the necessary tools to start a new church.
He
provided indeed! The first provision was two scripture
passages,
Isaiah 43:18-19 and Luke 9:61, instructing those dedicated followers to
"not look back" nor "dwell on the past," so as to recognize a "new
thing," and become "fit for service in the Kingdom of God."
The
second provision was the gift of talents and leadership that He gave so
freely, and continues to give, so that Countryside can grow in the
service of the Lord.
Three
foundational truths that were the building blocks of Countryside
Christian Church, and continue to strengthen the church today are:
* Recognizing and embracing the "power of prayer"
*
A "heart for missions"
* Spreading the gospel message by fulfilling the "Great
Commission"
From our
humble beginnings until today, Countryside Christian Church is honored
to be given the privilege of dedicating ourselves to serving our Lord.
"For God so loved the world that
he
gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish
but
have eternal life. For God did not
send
his Son into the world to condemn
the world, but to save the world
through him."
John 3:16-17
We invite
you to become a part of the church today and a piece of its history
tomorrow.
