About Our Church

Mission Statement

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

What services do you offer?

We offer worship services, community events, and spiritual guidance to help individuals grow in faith.

As a congregation in the Church of God Reformation Movement (Anderson, Indiana), we affirm:

The authority of Scripture.

The call to holiness.

The unity of all believes in Christ.

We also joyfully proclaim the Five Solas of the Reformation

 Sola Scripture – Scripture alone is our highest authority.

 Sola Gratia – We are saved by grace alone.

 Sola Fide – Justified by Faith alone.

 Solus Christus – Christ alone is our redeemer.

Soli Deo Gloria – All for the glory of God alone.

Our desire is to be a holy place, a united church, and a gospel witness in Columbia and beyond.
