Who We Are

Our Mission Statement:

“We exist to display the glory of God by making disciples and proclaiming the gospel throughout the world.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Christ’s Church is an elder-led, deacon served, congregationally governed Baptist church located in the small town of Hartwell, Georgia. God has been gracious to remind us that the fields are white unto harvest not only here in Northeast Georgia, but also around the world. Our mission at Christ’s Church is best summed up by the phrase “For God’s Glory and Our Good.” By God’s grace, we seek to display God’s glory in all that we do, and by being intentional at this, we believe that our greatest good is served.

At Christ’s Church we desire to see God glorified through the salvation of sinners, and transformed into the likeness of Christ. We believe that the Word of God is the full and final authority for all of life. We desire that God’s Word will be preeminent in our church, in our worship, and in our lives.

We aim at a Christ-centered Christian life. Such an aim can only be reached by giving careful attention to the centrality of Christ in three areas: doctrine, worship, and lifestyle.

In doctrine, God’s unsolicited and unearned love is seen as the cause of salvation. The glory of His great Being is the ultimate end of salvation. And He is everything in between!

In worship, there is a joyful seriousness in which prayer, song, reading, and sermon all unite to aid God’s people to see and reflect the majesty of God. God’s preferences, as stated in Scripture, dictate our choice of ‘worship styles’ rather than man’s preferences.

In lifestyle, the glory of God is the aim of all of life. Personal growth in Christ-likeness and the spread of the Kingdom of God are the goals.
