<title>CORE Communities - CORE Communities</title>
<link>http://www.shawneechurch.org/app/w_page.php?type=group&amp;id=86</link>

The Mission

A CORE Community is a geographically based and generationally blended community of families and individuals who are linked for the dual purpose of encouragement through biblical care and equipping through exemplary leadership in order to experience and express the core values of the Christian faith.

Primarily, A Home Base

We value family!  Following the pattern of the first church, we are committed to doing life together.  CORE Communities give us a place where we can develop biblical fellowship - a place where the shared community life of Acts 2:42-47 can be experienced.

Secondarily, A Mission Center

We value new friends!  A CORE Community is designed to extend itself into the neighborhood through intentional relationships - investing and inviting - providing a connection point for others.

The Leadership

CORE Communities are led by a team of individuals under the oversight of the pastoral staff and deacons.  They facilitate hospitality, fellowship, care, discipleship, prayer and outreach. 

The General Schedule

CORE Communities typically meet once a month on Sunday evenings beginning in the Fall and concluding with the start of Summer (taking a break during the summer months).  The specific schedule of times and locations may be obtained at the information center, from the church&#39;s web site, or by contacting the office.

CORE Communities, &quot;building community to reach community&quot;. 

 &quot;I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house.&quot;  - Acts 20:20

 In 1975 the leaders of Bethel Baptist Church conceived the starting of a satellite ministry.  They called a returning missionary by the name Rev. Robert V. Dyer, Jr. to pastor the ministry.  In August 1976 a small prayer group, meeting in a private home, organized the structure of the Shawnee Baptist Church.  After negotiating with the Lenape School District the group was permitted to begin public worship services in Shawnee High School in January 1977.  While meeting in the high school, weekly Prayer and Bible Studies met in the parsonage.  Growth projections led to development of plans and the building of the sanctuary in Shamong Township that was occupied in 1979.  Later structures have been added as growth and increased ministries have warranted.</description>

Why We Are Here


1.  Our Mission Statement  
 
As committed followers of Jesus Christ, we come together to worship Christ with integrity, to experience new life in community, to grow in grace toward maturity, to be equipped to serve in ministry, and to communicate the gospel with clarity.


2. Our Mission Basis
 
&quot;...love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, ...love your neighbor&#39;s as yourself.&quot;
 
-Matthew 22:36-40
 
&quot;   .Go therefore, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you...&quot;
 
-Matthew 28:18-20
 
&quot;...you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you shall be My witnesses...&quot;
 
-Acts 1:8
 
&quot;So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls.  They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles&#39; teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. . .and were sharing with them all, as anyone might have need,. . .praising God, and having favor with all the people.&quot;
 
-Acts 2:41-47
 
&quot;And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ,...&quot;
 
-Ephesians 4:11-163.

3. The Five Purposes
 
A. The Church is a Worshipping Community.
 
B. The Church is a Fellowshipping Community.
 
C. The Church is a Teaching/Learning Community.
 
D. The Church is a Serving Community.
 
E. The Church is a Witnessing Community.</description>

<title>Our Core Values - Our Core Values</title>
<link>http://www.shawneechurch.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=2</link>
<guid>http://www.shawneechurch.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&amp;id=2&amp;article_id=6</guid>
<description>


Our values express our commitments, those core beliefs that should be evidenced as we fulfill the church&#39;s mission. All strategies and methodologies must be in harmony with the church&#39;s mission and core values.

WE VALUE… PEOPLE

1. We believe that… people matter to God. Therefore, we will reach out with Christ&#39;s love to one another and to a world in need. (John 13:34, 35; Luke 15)

WE VALUE… INTIMACY WITH GOD

2. We believe that… prayer is essential for intimacy with God and effectiveness in ministry. Therefore, we will pursue intimacy with God in prayer and demonstrate our humble reliance upon Him in interceding for all the members, ministries and activities of this church. (Matthew 7:7-11; James 5:13-18)

WE VALUE… THE WORD OF GOD

3. We believe that… the Bible is authoritative and trustworthy, the primary catalyst for life transformation. Therefore, we are committed to the clear, accurate and relevant teaching of the Scriptures. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Corinthians 3:18)

WE VALUE… SPIRITUAL FORMATION

4.We believe that… Christ-followers should pursue holiness in their daily lives, continually taking steps toward greater intimacy with and conformity to the Person of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we will encourage one another in the pursuit of godliness and spiritual maturity. (2 Corinthians 7:1; Ephesians 4:20-24; Colossians 1:28, 29; Hebrews 10:23-25)

WE VALUE… COMMUNITY

5. We believe that… spiritual maturity develops best in community. Therefore, we will seek to facilitate the multiplication and development of healthy small and midsize groups with trained leadership for the purpose of discipleship, accountability and spiritual growth. (Matthew 5:1ff.; Acts 20:20; 2 Timothy 2:2)

WE VALUE… TEAM LEADERSHIP

6. We believe that… the church should be led by exemplary Christ-followers, with leadership gifts, who have embraced the mission, vision and core values of the church. Therefore, we will seek God&#39;s leading in the selection of godly, servant leaders and commit ourselves to uphold them in prayer, encourage them in their work, assist them in the ministry, and submit to their proper leadership. (1 Corinthians 16:15, 16; 1 Thessalonians 5:12, 13; Acts 6:2-7; 1 Timothy 3:1f.; Hebrews 13:7, 17)

WE VALUE… MINISTRY

7. We believe that… every member is a minister and the primary responsibility of pastoral ministry is to prepare God&#39;s people for service. Therefore, the ministry will be placed as much as possible in the hands of non-vocational workers on the basis of their spiritual gifts and maturity. (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12 and 14; Romans 12; 1 Peter 4:10, 11)

WE VALUE… EXCELLENCE

8. We believe that… God deserves the best we have to offer. Therefore, in our ministries and activities we will seek to maintain a high standard of excellence to the glory of God. (Colossians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 10:31)

WE VALUE… CREATIVITY

9. We believe that… the church should be culturally relevant while remaining biblically sound.  Therefore, in today&#39;s rapidly changing world, forms and methods must be continually evaluated for effectiveness, as we encourage flexibility, creativity, and innovation in the fulfillment of our mission.  (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)

WE VALUE… PARTNERSHIP

10. We believe that… the kingdom is greater than any one local church. Therefore, we will develop strategic partnerships with other churches and ministries of like faith in fulfillment of our God-given mission and vision, affirming, encouraging, and praying for our brothers and sisters throughout the world. (Romans 16; 1 Corinthians 16:1; Philippians 1:3-5; Colossians 4:12, 13)</description>
