OUR MISSION
Forging lives to the Will of God. Refining hearts to reflect Christ.
I will bring the one-third through the fire,
Will refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’
Zechariah 13:9
He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver;
He will purify the sons of Levi,
And purge them as gold and silver,
That they may offer to the Lord
An offering in righteousness.
Malachi 3:3
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2
OUR VISION
We embrace the model of discipleship as the best implementation of having the will of God forged into our lives. When we allow God and His word to train us and the people that God has placed in our lives to hold us accountable, we begin this forging process.
Hearts become refined when they become purified by the word of God, resurrected in the love of Christ, and strengthened by the testing of our faith.
As we pursue Christ and His righteousness, the requirement on us is to be changed, or transformed. We align our thoughts and our actions with those of Christ, using the word of God to establish those thoughts and actions, bringing us into the direct obedience of Christ.
Refiners Church serves as the furnace to embrace this change. We serve God in this way and pursue righteousness in every aspect of our lives to impact our community, our families, and our neighbor, by reflecting the image of Christ to all whom we may encounter, and we refine our hearts through accountability to the word of God to ensure that the standard of Christ is modeled for generations to come.
