9 Core Commitments

8. Community

When we place our trust in Christ, we are then baptized into a new faith community. God has called a people to himself to represent Him to the nations. Through Christ we are sons and daughters of God our Father, thus we are a family of faith. As a family we are committed to loving and serving one another. We encourage one another, pray for one another, forgive one another and hold each other accountable as together we seek to glorify the name of Christ. Our goal is not uniformity but unity, recognizing the diversity that makes the Body of Christ so beautiful and effective. We do not see the church as an end but a means that God is using to establish His kingdom. As members of Crestmont, we submit ourselves to the church’s doctrines, leadership, vision and discipline. Our membership means we are not an audience but participants in the mission of the church. We use our spiritual gifts, talents and resources to build up the body.
