Teach All to Do the Same.
Are you tired?
Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
– Jesus
PRACTICES
ABOUT CROWN HEIGHTS CHURCH
Crown Heights Church hopes to be salt-seasoning, bringing out the God-flavors of this earth, and to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.
We desire to be a people of prayer, peace, and joy where we Live, work, and play.
We welcome all seeking God’s love and are open to every soul seeking wholeness in Jesus.
"The church is only the church when it exists for others...The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men (sic) of every calling what it means to live in Christ, to exist for others."
(Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison).
WE HOLD FAST TO
One true God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The deity and incarnate humanity of Jesus and His redemptive work evident in His death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and imminent return.
Salvation, a permanent status evidenced by ongoing regeneration and transformation of one's soul, is by grace alone through faith alone in the atoning work of Jesus the Messiah and not ever the result of but evidenced by our good works.
The inspiration and power of God's written Word in all of its revelation, perfectly reliable for instruction in wholeness and holiness.
All believers in Jesus as Messiah and Lord are redeemed to be significant in the cause of God's kingdom and granted the empowerment necessary to do so by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY
JESUS
Son of God, The Messiah (Christ), God in the Flesh, Light of the World, The Way, The Truth and The Life
We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the cross.
