We give praise to our God and to our
Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!
As individual churches and as a charge,
we strive to be an earthly reflection of the Kingdom of Heaven. We wish
to show by our presence in the community, both on a personal and congregational
level, that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. Our witness is
shown, in part, by the steadfastness of our presence.
Although our congregations are small,
Christ enables us to reach out to others in the community in which we
live. With the help and strength of God through the Holy Spirit, we
believe we can make a difference in our community.
We aim to grow in spirit and love by
following Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord. As we nurture and support
each other through trials and works, we can help ourselves to grow into the
likeness of Jesus Christ. We pray that our witness of the Gospel will
draw others to Christ. We trust that God through the Holy Spirit will
enable, strengthen, and guide us in our work to spread the Word.
We feel that we
have a special calling to Older Adult Ministry.
Statistics have shown that soon the population over 60 years old will
increase dramatically. We want to
be there to serve that part of the population as one of our main missions. At Butler's Chapel ~ Jones
Springs Charge we want to be a church where the older adults in our church are
challenged to reach out to other older adults and also to children and single
parents with Christ's love. At
Butler's Chapel ~ Jones Springs we will recognize that “Seniors are Special
too” and have a lot to offer the church and the community. We will provide a
place for support groups and special guest speakers who will speak on issues
that are important to older adults.
We feel we will also be challenged as an older adult ministry to reach
out to youths as mentors and provide assistance to single parents as identified
as well as into the community as led by the Holy Spirit.
