Who We Are

Our Gospel-Centered Identity

We’re a family of ordinary people learning to orient all of life around the purpose and power of the gospel here in the very religious south. Unsatisfied with “the norm”, we sense Jesus leading us to enjoy the freedom of living out of the life-transforming power of the gospel.

We want to be a gospel-centered church constantly encouraging gospel-centered living among our people. We start with the assumption that most people are like us, having not heard of or thought through the full implications of the gospel— to bring all things “in line with the gospel” (Gal 2:14), which renews us spiritually, psychologically, corporately, and socially. The gospel avoids the errors of legalism and liberalism, moralism and relativism; yet, it does not produce something in between, but rather produces something altogether new.

Gospel Identity Callout

Gospel-Centered

For us, the core of who we are and how we live flows out of the gospel, not a set of programs or ministries. The work of the gospel has given us a new identity: worshippers of Jesus, learners of Jesus, missionaries of Jesus, and the family of Jesus. And this gospel increasingly produces it’s character in us: joy, humility, courage and optimism. This gospel identity and character transforms all of life: our eating, working, playing and resting. At first blush, this sounds radically different than what we’re used to when we think of “church”. One way of viewing this is in the diagram below. For us, this is a picture of the kind of people we long to be and reproduce.

Discipleship

worshippers

We are sinners purchased by God, learning to offer our lives back to God through Jesus.

learners

We are students of Jesus, learning to take responsibility for our own development so that we can develop others.

missionaries

We are sinners saved by God’s work for God’s work, learning that we are being sent by Jesus into Jonesboro, ASU, and the nations to bring joy through His good news.

family

We are sinners adopted by God into His family, learning to care for each other as family, and inviting others to experience the blessing of what it is like in God’s family.

What to Expect at Fellowship

Each Sunday we gather as the church to celebrate our hero—Jesus.

  1. We CELEBRATE Jesus through singing.
  2. We HEAR from Jesus through His Word.
  3. We RESPOND to Jesus through singing, communion, baptism, or sharing.
  4. We GO FOLLOW Jesus in our everyday lives as we leave the gathering.

A Typical Sunday Environment

  • Gospel-centered preaching motivated by Jesus’ good news (usually through a book of the Bible)
  • A welcoming environment to explore the claims of Christ without feeling like an outsider
  • Casual dress
  • Deep, Christ-exalting, contemporary worship through music
  • Ordinary people learning to BE the church for one another and our city (young families, college adults, empty-nesters, singles, in all walks of life)
  • One single hero, Jesus Christ
