Our Mission
The mission of G3 Fellowship is to help believers become completely committed to Jesus.
We teach the Bible on Sunday mornings during our worship time. Our goal is to help people get excited about reading the Bible and learning more about God on their own.
We grow stronger in our faith by meeting in small groups or one-on-one. These are relaxed times where we build friendships, talk about the Bible, and learn how to live for Jesus together.
We believe the best way to live out the Bible is to put it into action. We do this by serving our community and working with other ministries to share God’s love in real ways.
Our Core Values
We have three Core Values that guide every decision we make as a church. Through prayer and reading God's Word, we strive to uphold these Core Values at all times.
God created us to know Him and be saved through Jesus Christ. This is the most important reason we exist. Everything we do as a church is meant to bring glory to God, not to ourselves. We want Him to be honored in every part of our lives and ministry.
God wants us to love the people around us. This means we love our church family and the people in our city. We try to help, care for, and show kindness to everyone God puts near us.
We help people learn who God says they are. God made each person for a special reason. He loves us even when we mess up, and He wants us to live in a way that pleases Him. When we know who we are in God, we can live out our purpose.
Our Vision
The world is in great need. People are waiting for God’s children to rise up and show what heaven looks like on earth. G3 Fellowship helps people become strong and faithful followers of Jesus. We train them to serve in God’s kingdom with love, honesty, and humility.
We see a future where believers all around the world live in ways that show God is with them. Starting in Columbia and reaching the nations, we will grow by teaching, guiding, worshiping, and showing God’s love. We are building a family of believers who lift up the name of Jesus and bring glory to God through everything they do.
When you become part of G3 Fellowship, you join this powerful vision.
Ordinances
The items below are activities directed by Scripture that G3 Fellowship practices out of obedience to God’s Word. Though these are not required for faith in Christ, they represent mandatory activities in the life of any believer.
The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life. (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4)
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers “until He comes”. (John 6:48,51,53-57; Luke 22:19-20; 2 Pet. 1:4; 1 Cor. 11:25)
Tenets of Faith
The following are fundamental beliefs that G3 Fellowship holds as true. Though not all-inclusive, they summarize our theological beliefs on biblical subjects.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason. (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12)
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM,” and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, by simultaneously existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 43:10, 11; Matt. 28:19)
Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image and after our likeness.” Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:17; Rom. 5:12-21)
Mankind’s only hope of salvation is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, the Son of God. Jesus lived a sinless life, and willingly died a criminal’s death to offer himself in place of all people, and rose from the grave in victory over death and sin. Salvation is received through repentance from sin and putting faith in Jesus’ lordship over your life. It is by grace through faith, is a free gift, and outside of human works. Through regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes heir to God’s kingdom and to the hope of eternal life. (Matthew 3:16-17; Mark 3:11; Luke 1:32; John 10:17-18; John 15:10; Romans 3:27-28, 4:1-8, 6:8-11, 6:23, Ephesians 2:8)
The Grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; Rom. 10:13-15; Luke 24:47)
The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Rom. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness. (1 Thess. 4:7, 2 Tim.1:9)
All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31)
This experience may be distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth. (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9)
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and a dedication towards God. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the command: “Be ye Holy, for I am Holy”. Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word. (Romans 12: 1-2; Hebrews 12:14, 13:12; 1 Peter. 1:15, 16; 1 Thessalonians. 5:23, 24; 1 John 2:6)
The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer is an integral part of the church, and their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (1 Thess. 2:4)
Divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-fold purpose: (1) The evangelization of the world, and (2) The edification of the Body of Christ. (Mark 16:15,20; Eph. 4:11-13)
God created marriage. It is a covenant made between a man and a woman that makes them one. (Gen. 2:22,24; Matt. 19:5-6)
Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all believers. (Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:16-17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14)
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of the church. (1 Thess. 4:16; Rom. 6:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51-52)
The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth are Scriptural promises and our hope. (2 Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16; Rom. 11:25; Rev. 20:1-7)
The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15)
We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for a new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3:13; Rev. 21:1)
