Mission Statement
Mission: Helping People Trust & Follow Jesus Everything we do at Harpeth revolves around our mission statement. We exist to make disciples of Jesus. The Bible follows an outline that can be summarized by 7 key elements. We champion these elements as our core values. They are listed in a sequential pattern that is typical of renewal and that starts with God. Renewing by God’s Spirit – we believe that God is the author of renewal and he invites us to access and join him through prayer and fasting for the Holy Spirit’s work of renewal. Following God’s Word – we learn the ways of God with lasting clarity and conviction by trusting God’s Word and what it teaches as the objective foundation for renewal and life. Surrendering to Jesus Lordship – the gospel teaches us that Jesus is Messiah (King) and Lord. He calls everyone to salvation (in eternity) and discipleship (in this life) through a faith commitment that is expressed in repentance, confession, and baptism. Repentance and surrender to Jesus as Lord is the never-ending cycle for life in Jesus’ Kingdom, and it is empowered by the Spirit. Championing Disciple Making – Jesus gave us the perfect model of disciple making, which he demonstrated with his disciples. Those same principles from the life of Jesus should be utilized as we make disciples today and champion discipleship as the core mission of the local church. Loving Like Jesus – Jesus showed us the true meaning of love and taught us that sacrificial love is the distinguishing character trait of true disciples (and true renewal). Sacrificial love is the foundation for our relationships both in the church and in the world. Living in Holiness – Jesus lived differently than the world, so the people in his church will learn to live differently than the world – even when it is difficult – we show that God’s kingdom is an alternative kingdom to the world. Leading Courageously – God always uses leaders in renewal and they live by a prayerful, risk-taking faith. Renewal will be led by bold and courageous leaders – who make disciples.
About This Cause
We are a group of people learning to trust and follow Jesus together. We exist to make disciples of Jesus because that’s what He explicitly commanded us to do in Scripture. A disciple is someone committed to following Jesus, being formed by Jesus, and faithfully joining the mission of Jesus. Relationships are the primary means of discipleship in the Bible and in real life. We accomplish this on Sunday mornings and throughout the week through discipling groups.
