LIVE THE GREAT DESCRIPTION

Jesus described what kind of people His followers are to be in the world with a metaphor (Matthew 5:13-16). We have adopted this metaphor as the name of our church. Salt is a metaphor for Christian maturity and Light is a metaphor for Christian Mission. Salt + Light Church is radically focused on discipling Christians for Christian maturity and training Christians for Christian mission.

FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION

Jesus commanded his followers to make new disciples and make mature disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). We believe that if we live out the great description of the church then we will have opportunity to fulfill this great commission of the church. Salt + Light Church intentionally equips and mobilizes Christians for this great commission work.

OBEY THE GREAT COMMANDMENT

Jesus reminded his followers that everything they do should be motivated by love for God and love for their neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40). In fact, any work done in Jesus’ name without love is worthless (1 Corinthians 13:1-13). Salt + Light Church passionately seeks to cultivate lives that love God and others as the foundation of fulfilling the great commission.

BELIEVE THE GREAT PROMISE

Jesus promised that He will continually build His Church (Matthew 16:18). Salt + Light Church believes He will continually fulfill this promise through church planting focused on living the great description and fulfilling the great commission in the spirit of the great commandment.
