Foundation,
Priorities &
Message
Our Foundation
Longmeadow Community Church is founded on the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God as revealed in God's inspired and authoritative Word.
Our Priorities
The ministry priorities of Longmeadow Community Church are the building up of the church by making disciples in the context of an authentic, faith-building community. This environment is characterized by an emphasis on the Word of God, worship of the Triune God, works driven by faith, and witness to the reality of Jesus Christ for those who have yet to experience the transforming power of the Gospel.
Our Message
We are passionate about the gospel―the good news that Christ died for our sins so we can be at peace with God forever. Being a Gospel-centered church means having the Gospel at the center of everything the church does―from preaching and teaching to worship to community outreach and service. It means emphasizing the importance of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection and his work in redeeming humanity and restoring our relationship with God. A Gospel-centered church makes the Gospel message the focal point of its ministry and strives to help people understand and apply it to their lives. Our appreciation of the gospel
leads to joyful, humble, generous, and assured living.
