to make disciples of jesus christ

disciple: dis·​ci·​ple | \ di-ˈsī-pəl  noun. "fully devoted follower of Christ"


OUR VISION

We see Pine Ridge . . .


1.  Reaching out to people with the love of Christ  (Matthew 28:19)

2.  Equipping every generation to follow Christ   (Ephesians 4:11-12)

3.  Sending disciples to their spheres of influence   (Acts 1:8)


OUR DISCIPLESHIP PROCESS

As people become disciples they mature and develop. We have identified how that process looks at Pine Ridge so that people can see where they are at in the growth process and know what their next step is to becoming a mature disciple. 


Here is how we break down the discipleship process . . . 

1. Worshipping — this follower is participating in our large Sunday worship gathering (Hebrews 10:25)  

2. Connecting — this follower is connecting with Christ and other followers (John 15:5)  

3. Serving — this follower is serving Christ with his/her own divine design (Ephesians 4:11-12)  

4. Leading — this follower is making and leading other disciples (2 Timothy 2:2)

what we believe

1. We believe in the verbal inspiration of all the Scriptures of both the Old and

    New Testaments, and that they are the final authority in faith and life.

    2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21


2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and

    Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–3; Acts 5:3–4


3. We believe in the virgin birth of Christ, and that He is true God and true man.

    Luke 1:30–35; Colossians 2:9


4. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, and with His blood

    obtained for us eternal redemption. Romans 3:25–26; 2 Corinthians 5:21


5. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His

    Ascension into heaven, and in His present life there as our High Priest and

    Advocate. 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 20; Ephesians 1:20; 1 Timothy 2:5;

    Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:24–25


6. We believe in the personal, pre-millennial, imminent return of our Lord Jesus

    Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:9; Revelation 19:11–20:6

7. We believe in the total depravity of all mankind, and in the necessity of

    regeneration. Romans 3:9–18; Ephesians 2:1–5


8. We believe that salvation is a free gift of God, entirely apart from works,

    and is possessed by all who have by faith received the Lord Jesus Christ as

    their personal Savior. Ephesians 2:8–9


9. We believe that since salvation is a free gift, that all true believers, once

    saved, shall be kept saved forever. John 5:24; 10:28; 1 John 5:13 ;

    Philippians 1:6


10. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine Person and that He indwells all

    believers. John 14:16–17; Ephesians 1:13–14; 2 Corinthians 1:21–22


11. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting

    blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

    1 Corinthians 15:20–23; Revelation 20:11–15.


12. We believe that there are two ordinances that the Christian is commanded to

     observe: namely Baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Table.

     Matthew 28:19–20; Matthew 26:26–29; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26


13. We believe God ordained marriage to be a covenant relationship between

     one man, one woman, and God. Any sexual relationship outside a biblically

     consistent marriage relationship is sin. Genesis 2:21–25; 1 Corinthians

     6:9–20; Romans 1:24–32
