Resurgent Church is a place where every life is considered precious and of immeasurable value, and where every individual, created in the image of God, is offered unconditional love and the hope of redemption that is found only in Jesus Christ. Taking the message of Jesus to the lost and hurting, wherever they may be found, is Resurgent’s mission. As a local church body, Resurgent seeks to be a place where people can find communion with God and community with one another. Connecting people with God and one another are the two primary purposes for which Resurgent exists.
"I have heard all about you, Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by…”
Habakkuk 3:2 (NLT)
We exist to foster a passion and environment that is focused on helping others connect to God through corporate worship, making room for the Holy Spirit to move and producing an atmosphere where the sole purpose is giving praise and glory to God alone. We believe that genuine worship is accompanied by liberty and a freedom that only the Spirit of God can bring. God responds to those who worship in spirit and in truth with the manifestation of His presence and power. Worship is both a corporate act and a personal devotion.
Psalms: 86:9-12 “All the nations you have made will come and worship before you Lord, they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds you alone our God. Teach Me Your Way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name. I will praise you Lord my God with all my heart and will glorify your name forever.”
We exist to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19) in the power of the Holy Spirit, reaching the unsaved with the gospel and making followers of Christ. We believe that true and genuine evangelism is relational and lived out in our daily lives through compassion, love, and acts of kindness towards others. We believe being a Missional Church is both a personal and corporate endeavor. Along with personal evangelism, Resurgent Church has made the support of World Missions one of its highest priorities. Resurgent Church strives to be a local church with global impact
We seek to nurture the individual, couple, and family into a healthy, mature, and fruitful walk with Christ. We desire to see every individual grow in God’s word and apply it to their daily lives. Once the individual becomes a disciple of Christ, they win others to Christ and make disciples.
We seek to advance the Kingdom of God through service and giving. By volunteering our time, gifts, and talents, we radically impact our local church, community, and world for Christ. Every individual has a purpose and a call to serve.
We believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit for every believer, given to empower the church for effective evangelism, and in the operation of spiritual gifts for the edifying of the corporate body and individual. We strive to create an atmosphere where people can worship God freely and encounter His divine presence.
We exist to love all people without partiality, to create a place of community where fellowship is commonplace, and where every individual can find purpose and a sense of belonging. At Resurgent Church, we seek to be a church where many diverse individuals come together as one.
