OUR VISION

LIFEHOUSE CHURCH IS A DIVERSE CHURCH SERVING CENTRAL MARYLAND.
WE EXIST TO HELP PEOPLE DISCOVER REAL LIFE WITH GOD AND OTHERS.

We do our best to filter every idea, program, and budget request through our vision statement and values.  If what we plan doesn’t help us meet our purpose, then we don’t do it.

LIFEHOUSE CHURCH EXISTS TO
BE A CHURCH THAT IS ABOUT:

OUR VISION STATEMENT IS BASED ON THREE PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURES:

MAKING

By engaging in our worship service, we pray that you encounter Jesus and make the decision for him the Lord of your life. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

MARKING

We believe the Bible is clear that Christians should be baptized in water. The act of water-baptism is an outward expression to show what Christ has done internally in your heart. And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also – not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
(1 Peter 3: 21)

MATURING

As disciples of Christ, we are meant to grow in our faith. Becoming a member of Lifehouse Church, participating in a life group, and serving in a ministry are great opportunities to grow your faith and get better connected at Lifehouse. The goal is not for the ministry to stop with you, but that you would coach or mentor someone else in the faith. As you come to him, the living Stone- rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him- you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
(1 Peter 2:4-5)
