Anchored in Truth™ Striving Not to Build 'Great' Churches, but 'True' Churches

As the glory of God is our purpose for all that we do, Jesus Christ stands as our great focal point.  The glory of God and Jesus Christ cannot be separated; rather they are one and the same.  If we want to see the glory of God, we need look no further than to Jesus Christ.  Second Corinthians 4:4 says, “For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”  The knowledge of the glory of God is found in the face of Jesus Christ.

It is our desire at Anchored in Truth that Jesus Christ stand at the center of everything.  We long that “EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” 

That is why our second distinctive for ministry is “Christ-Centered – God is most glorified through the Person and work of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  By His unrivaled character and work (merit), He has redeemed for Himself a people (the Church).  As His church, we strive above all things to know Him, love Him, praise Him, and serve Him.  It is by, through, and for Him that we exist.  It is our goal to keep Him the honored center of all that we say and do!  ‘In all things He must have the preeminence’ (Colossians 1:18).”
