Core Values for 2819 Blueprint
Christ-Centered Fellowship
We look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, placing Him preeminent in all things and desiring to walk even as He walked. In every conversation, teaching, and labor, we seek to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ above all.
The Authority of the Word of God
We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the inspired and preserved Word of God, profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. We are committed to searching the scriptures daily and handling aright the word of truth with reverence, faithfulness, and godly fear.
Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe that salvation is by the grace of God through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and not by the works of the flesh. We proclaim the necessity of repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, that sinners may be born again and made new creatures in Christ.
Spiritual Growth and Transformation
We believe in the renewing of the mind through the working of the Holy Ghost, whereby believers are conformed to the image of Christ through obedience to the Word of God. We desire to grow in grace, in holiness, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Fellowship and Edification
We endeavor to provoke one another unto love and to good works, bearing one another’s burdens and ministering grace unto the hearers. We seek to maintain a welcoming and godly fellowship wherein believers are strengthened, comforted, and edified together in charity and truth.
Sound Doctrine and Biblical Teaching
We are committed to preaching and teaching the whole counsel of God without compromise, rightly dividing the word of truth and earnestly contending for the faith once delivered unto the saints. We reject doctrines contrary to the Scriptures and seek to remain steadfast in the apostles’ doctrine.
Compassionate Outreach and Gospel Witness
We are called to be doers of the Word and not hearers only, showing forth the love and compassion of Christ to those in need. We desire to preach the gospel unto every creature, speaking the truth in love and declaring the glad tidings of peace and salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
Discipleship and Service
We seek to fulfill the Great Commission by teaching and discipling believers in the Word of God, equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, and encouraging faithful service unto the Lord. We desire that every believer grow in spiritual discernment, wisdom, and faithfulness.
Unity in the Body of Christ
We endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, recognizing all true believers as members of one body under one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. We seek to walk in humility, longsuffering, meekness, and charity for the glory of God.
Concerning Denominations and Identity in Christ
At 2819 Blueprint, we do not exalt a denominational title, sect, or tradition above the Word of God. We desire to be known simply as believers and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, standing upon the authority of the Holy Scriptures and the faith once delivered unto the saints.
While recognizing that many true believers may gather under various assemblies and names, we endeavor to avoid divisions rooted in the doctrines and commandments of men, remembering that Christ is not divided. Our desire is to search the Scriptures daily, hold fast to sound doctrine, and maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace under one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
We seek not to build after the wisdom of men or the traditions of this world, but to glorify God through faithful obedience to His Word, that in all things the Lord Jesus Christ may have the preeminence.
