Woodcliff Baptist Church exists to bring glory to God by helping people experience the new life found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The purpose statement of Woodcliff expresses in simple terms the desire of our church.
● Woodcliff exists...
The Church is God's idea and she is His instrument for carrying out his purposes in the world. God is using His Church to accomplish His will in the world.
● bring glory to God...
We believe that we were all created to glorify God. This is supreme in our lives.
● by helping people...
People need God. They were created both by Him and for Him. God uses His people (the Church) to help all people know Him and love Him. The Church must actively minister to all people regardless of race, class, religion, lifestyle, or habitual behavior for the purpose of leading them out of their sin and toward the Savior.
● experience the new life found...
This new life is experienced through a saving relationship with God (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are called to help people and equip them to follow Christ. This is the lifelong process of discipleship.
● in the Gospel of Jesus Christ...
He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no man will ever see God without knowing him. Our whole purpose and mission as a church is to point people towards Christ.
