Who Are We?
Our Cares
A Growing Heart for christ
Our hope is that we would see our hearts grow fuller with a love for Christ and his glory. We want to see his beauty, truth and grace growing evermore in our lives and hearts. All matters of “first importance” in both faith and life begin with Christ (1 Corinthians 15:3). We long to see that become more and more of a reality in our lives.
A GROWING HEART FOR THE CHURCH
We also hope to see formed in us a love for the Body of Christ, the Church. The Church is the epicenter of where, and how, God works in the world; therefore, it's crucial that our love for it grow and expand. “A pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15), the Church as the Body of Christ, is to be the voice, hands and feet of Christ in the world.
A GROWING HEART FOR THE CITY
We love Milwaukee, and as we live here among her people, parks and pubs, we hope to see our love for it increase all the more. This is where God has placed us and called us to live and serve. We will labor to bring Shalom - that sense of prospering, flourishing, thriving and blessing - to Milwaukee and her people (Jeremiah 29:7).
Our Commitments
CHRIST-CENTERED
We're not shy of making a big deal of Jesus. He is the center of all things, and we believe he is this world's one true Hope. We believe he's Milwaukee's only Hope. At Christ Church Milwaukee, we are convinced that Jesus Christ is the One who gives peace, joy and life to those who need it most. We believe he is Truth and Love, embodied and personified.
grace-centered
Grace is that idea that shakes things up. It tells us we're simply not good enough, contrary to what the world, or our mothers, may tell us. Yet, it also tells us we're more loved and accepted by God than the world, or mom, ever could. That's because grace tells us that it's not about us. It's about Christ. Grace is that gift from God himself that reconciles rebels to the King. It is indeed amazing.
scripture-centered
At Christ Church Milwaukee, we take the Bible seriously. That means we read it, preach it, teach it, pray it, and live out its commands in our lives. We believe what the Holy Scripture says about itself, namely that it's "living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit...discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). It's the very Word of God, to us and for us.
kingdom-centered
The Kingdom of God was the central message of Jesus during his ministry on earth. He spoke of it often, and so should we. The Kingdom of God is the rule and reign of Jesus Christ over all things, though it may not look like it on the ground (Hebrews 2:8-9). A Kingdom-centered approach to life looks like trusting in a God who is overseeing all of life in a sovereign, loving, and gracious way.
