As a part of this vision series we want you to know what you can expect from us at Saints’ Hill and what we want to be able to expect from you, in other words, our social contract.

Rather than a membership structure or specific requirements, our social contract is made up of a shared identity with an organizing principle. 

According to the New Testament authors, there are many identities that we are afforded under Christ’s blood. We believe God has given us three to focus on as a church: child, priest, and bride. This means we do life together, we worship and pray, and we serve and give. Our organizing principle that empowers these identities is love - meaning, all of these actions are compelled by Christ’s love in us.

Our prayer is that through our stewardship of these identities, we as a church would be able to serve God’s purposes for our time and place.

What is Saints’ Hill trying to do to you?

As we get more and more specific in this vision series, we want to talk about what our hope is for each person at Saints’ Hill. 

Put simply - we want you, through friendship with God, to become completely secure in His love. When this happens, we believe that you will be filled to overflow, and that you’ll have something to give away. You’ll be able to actually do the good works He has prepared in advance for you to do. 

God, make us willing to give up lesser loves and to walk the narrow road that leads to life.

This last Sunday we talked about why Saints’ Hill exists. In a well-churched town, what is our unique purpose and how did we arrive there?

Our founders had a conviction that Saints’ Hill needed to be a place where people could reliably encounter God. This comes from a belief that in His Presence all the right things grow and the wrong things die. 

If you were made for union with God, a love encounter with Him is the greatest thing a church can provide. 

Our strategy, from singing, to communion, to teaching and prayer is all aimed at seeing God face to face, being transformed by His love, and serving His purposes for our time and place.

Last week we began our vision series laying a foundation for what this life is, who God is, and what our purpose is as humans. This week we zoomed in a bit more and asked the question, Why the Church?

From the very beginning, God’s answer to the trust broken in Eden, was a family. Abraham and his family, the nation of Israel, existed to restore trust between God and man, and to extend that blessing to the nations. This purpose was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who redeemed us from our sin so that by the Spirit, we would promote and provide a meal between God and man. 

God is after relationship, and the gathering of people who love one another because they have first been loved, becomes the greatest sign on earth pointing to Him. That is where the renewal of all things begins.

On Sunday we began a new series called Join The Family. This vision series is designed to show why we do what we do at Saints’ Hill and where we’re headed. Our goal for this series is that every person would find both the mission for their life and the energy for it, in the presence of God.

-

In order to get into the specifics, we first need to lay a foundation of agreement on what this life is. We believe that God is relationship, and that everything He made is a relational invitation to Him. Creation, our physical world, is designed to tell the truth about God.

Creation was distorted by a break of relationship, and can only be recaptured by a healing of that relationship. This is what the entire story of the Bible is about.

God has created every human with a purpose, and a specific role to play in the renewal of the world. When we get in God’s presence we see Him rightly. When we see Him rightly we respond rightly, choosing to die to ourselves so that we can walk in the works He has prepared for us.
