INTERNATIONAL isn’t a church that only cares about getting people to heaven, but how to Live for Jesus here and now in a way that will have an eternal impact. We want to unite people of every culture to Love Jesus and to Live for Jesus. This is accomplished by being grounded in truth and in vital relationships where God’s people can be held accountable and thrive where they are. Jesus said the second greatest commandment was, “…You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:39). Living for Jesus entails loving each other and serving with each other in those things Christ has commanded us. Love results in obedience (John 14:15). Paul said in Ephesians 2:8-10, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

​

Living for Jesus is walking with God in obedience to honor and glorify Him. The Apostle Paul said in Php. 1:21, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Though death is a promotion for a child of God, as long as one is alive, his desire ought to be to live for Christ. That desire comes to fruition when a person is Loving Jesus. But God never intended for His people to embark on a spiritual journey alone. People were created for community, and it’s in a community of believers that we learn to Live for Jesus. Being a part of INTERNATIONAL is a simple process of publicly declaring one’s personal relationship with Christ through water baptism, a command of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As a part of promoting community for members and friends, INTERNATIONAL offers a number of ministries. Home Groups are designed so that everyone can connect with each other on a more personal level. Our mid-week services on Wednesday nights offer studies for all ages.  Anyone seeking membership or has questions regarding these various ministries can seek out our pastoral leadership for answers.
