Mission
The mission of Rivertree Christian Chapel is to glorify God and lift up the name of Jesus through sermons, prayer, discipleship, and education.
Here at the Chapel, we honor the teachings of Jesus Christ. From the time of his birth, Jesus was on a mission. He announced that the spirit of the Lord was on him and that he had been anointed to (a) bring good news to the poor, (b) proclaim release to the captives, (c) give sight to the blind, (d) free the oppressed, and (e) proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor (Luke 4:16-21). As disciples, we strive to carry out this mission online in the name of Jesus. The Chapel rests on a foundation of healing, renewal, and service.
Statement of Faith
Rivertree Christian Chapel acknowledges The Apostles’ Creed, which has stood for centuries as a general statement of doctrine in many Christian denominations.
The Apostles’ Creed
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church*,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
*The word “catholic” refers to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Great Commission
We strive to be obedient to “The Great Commission,” as stated in Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV):
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
