MISSION STATEMENT

FWC is a church whose heart and arms are opened to the lost and dying people of the world. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are calling the sinners, the broken-hearted, the sick, and the bound to freedom and new life by the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Luke 4: 18). We endeavor to see FWC as a perfect blending of races and cultures worshipping and serving our Lord in power and life. We do not exist to conform to the religious mood of our culture, to be socially acceptable, to occupy property, or to perform mere religious duties. We are a committed assembly who fear the Lord. Only as we take God seriously, will we take our marriages, our families, our morals, and our spirituality seriously.

Family Worship Center was founded in 1988 and carries a rich legacy in the community of Indiantown, Florida. We are a loving and vibrant multicultural church body whose foundation is Christ Jesus.

THE VISION

“Preparing People for Eternity”

THE MISSION

Who we are

“To honor and glorify God by the growth of our members through fellowship, discipleship, worship, ministry, and evangelism.”

What we believe…

Acts 2:42-47

God’s purpose for the Church is two-fold: the work in the Church and the work of the Church.

The work in the church…

To equip the members of FWC for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 3:9; 4:10-13) through worship, the preaching and teaching of God’s Word, missions, and fellowship among believers. It is to strengthen fellow believers and their relationship with God. The Church is not the mission field. The Church is not the normal place for sinners to be saved. The work in the Church involves fellowship among believers and spiritual growth; it is the place where we are equipped to do the work of the ministry.

The work of the church…

To equip the members of FWC to be a light in this world through missions, local outreaches, and by encouraging them to live their daily life among the lost as an example of the grace of God. We are committed to live as a united body so that “as He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). We believe that through this united body, God will manifest His presence to our world. We will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into all the world, that men may be reconciled to God. We dare to go into all the world to make disciples of all men in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
