Our purpose is that each Christian that belongs to Pritchard can Cultivate their life in accordance with Jesus, both on their own and within community. In practice we see that Christians can grow in fellowship with Jesus and one another through the simple process of: gather, give, go
Gather
With community - we gather, for worship, for edification, for fellowship. On our own- we commit to our spiritual formation through scripture study, prayer, solitude, meditation, fasting. Christians are meant to grow both in community and as individuals. We seek to encourage and provide the opportunities for both.
give
The Christian life is not meant to be held onto, but to be given away. We see that growing Christians give of themselves, both their time and their talents. God trusted us with abilities and money, but he expects that we give of both generously. (this would be a place we can also link the “give” tab)
go
We believe that all Christians both are, and are not, missionaries. We are all missionaries in the sense that God expects us to participate in his mission in the world- inviting all the prodigal sons and daughters to come home. We are NOT all missionaries in that God has not called us all to international service. We are meant to live our regular, everyday lives on mission. We participate in places where we believe we can bring healing and grace in Charlotte, the United States, and all the world.
