LS Church Campus Core Values

1. Jesus is Our Message

We want to share the unfailing love and truth of Jesus and connect people to Him; He is our message.  Over time, methods may change and evolve, but our message will stay the same. | Ephesians 2:20

2. Relationship is Everything

Our foundation is rooted in a true revelation of Jesus.  We believe revelation comes from a genuine relationship with your Creator. Relationship with Jesus is what restores and inspires us to follow Him. | John 15:5

3. People are our Heart

Aside from loving God, Jesus made it clear that loving people is the most important thing we can do as Christ followers.  People are our heart!  We desire to love, honor and value ALL people. | Matthew 22:37-39

4. Connecting is our Responsibility

Whether we’re connecting to Jesus or helping others connect to Jesus, connecting is our responsibility. We know this is extremely valuable to grow God’s kingdom.  | Matthew 28:19-20

5. Servant Leadership is Our Identity

We believe every role is different, but every role is important.  And, it’s a leader’s responsibility to inspire and build up those around them.  Jesus himself came to serve people not to be served.  That is why servant leadership is our identity.  | Mark 10:45

6. Generosity is Our Privilege

We believe in creating a culture of giving back what God has so richly given us.  It’s our honor to give back to Him.  Simply put, generosity is our privilege.  We generously give of our time, talents and treasure.  | 2 Corinthians 9:7

7. Generations are His Legacy

We want to create a culture where each generation pours into the next, building an inheritance of honor, power, and blessings for the coming generations. | Psalm 78:4-7

8. Worship is Our Passion

Worship is a lifestyle, but it is also the praises that we offer as our gift to God. Since He is enthroned on our praises, worship will always be a vital part off all we do. | Psalm 22:3

9. Fun is Essential

Religion can be heavy, but a relationship with Jesus is exciting! We will laugh, have fun and always look for reasons to celebrate. | Nehemiah 8:10

10. Miracles Still Happen

We serve a BIG God who does BIG things, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. We don’t just believe in miracles, we expect them! | Ephesians 3:20-21

11. Presence Keeps Us Present

We have continual access to the Father through the Holy Spirit. Our acknowledgment and honor for His Presence allows us to be present in each moment following the leading of the Holy Spirit. | John 14:26

12. Excellence is Our Example

Everything our God does is excellent! Excellence is not a standard of perfection, but rather a commitment to giving our best. We honor the Lord by following His example and by  doing all things as unto Him. | Colossians 3:23-24

13. PURITY IS OUR PURSUIT

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. We passionately pursue purity and holiness in all we do. Jesus lived a holy and blameless life before God. This is our goal – to offer up our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him. | Romans 12:1

14. EVERYTHING IS HIS

The Earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord. We posture our hearts with gratitude and commit to steward all things that He has entrusted us with whether it be the people that surround us, the day that is given to us, or the resources that we have been blessed with. | Psalm 24:1

LS Church Core Beliefs – Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE: THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, REVEALED AS THE TRINITY

We believe that there is only one true God who is the Creator, Redeemer and just King of all. He is God, eternally existent, revealing Himself in three persons – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. | I John 5: 4-6, Philippians 2:6, John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14, 18, John 1:1, John 15:26

WE BELIEVE: THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD

We believe the Bible is the Word of God, written by human hands but supernaturally inspired by God through the Holy Spirit. It is relevant, infallible, and the source of all truth and life. | II Timothy 3:16, I Thess. 2:13, II Peter 1:21

WE BELIEVE: THE GARDEN WAS A TEMPLATE FOR GOD’S PERFECT DESIGN

We believe the Garden of Eden serves as God’s ideal design and original intent for humanity. In the Garden, God created both man and woman. While different in design, each served an extraordinary purpose to creation and to each other. It was in this garden that “covenant” would be outlined.

The first would be the covenant of relationship with our Creator – under this covenant there would be no separation from God and unlimited access to Him would be available. Man’s deepest joy would come from a personal relationship with God.

The second covenant established the covenant of marriage between man and woman, the two joining to become “one flesh.” God ordained this relationship and blessed this union with the gift of intimacy and creation of life. Together, man and woman would be given the assignment of multiplication, as well as, stewardship of the Garden – taking responsibility for its care and protection. We believe true purpose and fulfillment is achieved when we are in alignment with God’s original intent for us. | Gen. 1:26-31, Gen. 2:22-23

WE BELIEVE: MAN WAS MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE

We believe that man was created in the image of God to dwell with Him forever in paradise. Man was then tempted, using his free will to disobey God and fell into sin, which separated man from God’s holiness. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world, and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin. |Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 3:10; I John 3:8

WE BELIEVE: HEAVEN AND HELL ARE REAL

We believe Heaven and Hell are both real. It is a free choice given to us by God to acknowledge His sacrifice and live forever with Him in Heaven or to deny His existence and live forever separated from Him in Hell. | John 5:24, 28, 29, Hebrews 9:27, Rev. 19:20

WE BELIEVE: JESUS IS THE REDEEMER

We believe in God’s plan to bring us back to Him through redemption and justification of our sin. He sent Jesus, His perfect son conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, to live as a sinless man and to die in our place. He was crucified for our sins, died, and after three days, He was resurrected, conquering Hell and being crowned Lord of Lords. It is only through Jesus that our relationship is reconciled and we are in right standing with God once more. Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the Father awaiting His glorious return. | I Corinthians 15:3, I Peter 2:21-24, and John 3:16

WE BELIEVE: SALVATION IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL

We believe that salvation through Jesus is a free gift from God. It cannot be earned or bought. We are saved by grace through faith alone. Restoration through salvation is available for all by repenting, believing and receiving Jesus. |II Cor. 7:10; I John 5:12; John 3:3-5

WE BELIEVE: THE CROSS IS OUR VICTORY

We believe Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross paid the price for us, not only spiritually, but physically. Sickness and torment were results of Adam’s sin in the Garden. When Jesus redeemed us, He not only took care of the sin problem, but also the sickness that came as a result of sin. We believe that the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, disease and torment. | Mark 16:18; James 5:14-20; I Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; Isaiah 53:4-5

WE BELIEVE: THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITHIN EVERY BELIEVER

We believe the Holy Spirit lives inside every believer. Because of Jesus, we have continual access to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our closest companion – He encourages, comforts and inspires us on our journey through this life.

The Holy Spirit is also our guide. He convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies and teaches us to live holy as demonstrated by Jesus. The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation. | Heb. 12:14; I Thess. 5:23; II Peter 3:18; II Cor. 3:18; Phillippians 3:12-14; I Cor. 1:30

‍WE BELIEVE: WATER BAPTISM AND COMMUNION ARE SIGNIFICANT

We believe Jesus gave His Church holy ordinances of water baptism and communion. Jesus demonstrated the importance and significance of both to bring remembrance of His sacrifice and sustain us until His return.

Baptism by immersion in water is a necessary public declaration of our choice to follow Christ, which symbolizes the death and resurrection of the “New Man” as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. | Matt. 28:19; Romans 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36-39

Communion is a practice that represents the sacrifice that Jesus made for us through dying on the cross. His body that was broken (represented by the bread) and His blood that was shed (represented by the wine) gives us tangible elements to remember His unfailing love for us and to bring faith to the Church. Communion is available to anyone who believes in Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior | 1 Corinthians 11:24-25.

WE BELIEVE: THE CHURCH BELONGS TO JESUS

We believe the Church was founded and is sustained by Jesus. It is characterized by those who have put their faith in Jesus and revealed by gathering together to experience God and to inspire each other to live a Christ-centered life. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus, advancing the Kingdom of God. | Eph 2:20-22, Heb. 10:25, Matt 28:18-20

WE BELIEVE: JESUS WILL COME AGAIN

We believe that Jesus will come again soon for His Church just like He promised.
| I Thessalonians 4:18, Revelation 21:20
