How Scottsville Practices Faith

FELLOWSHIP

Deep caring for those in the Church family.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Philippians 2: 3-4
We celebrate Fellowship through sick/shut-in visits and calls, Coffee hours, Adult Fellowship weekends, Family Nights, Lunch with Santa, Visitor care, Stephen Ministers, Church picnic and more.

DISCIPLESHIP

Growing in faith through study.

“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” 

Psalm 119: 105
“All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” 
2 Timothy 3: 16

We grow in our faith through Bible Study, personal devotions, retreats, conferences, speakers, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and more.

SERVICE

Demonstrating the Love of God by meeting the basic needs of those outside our Church family.

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ "
Matthew 25: 37-40

We serve others through Food Drives, Operation Christmas Child, Summer Santa, Joyful Noise and Mission offerings, Merry Hearts Pillow ministry, Aid for Friends, and many more.

Educating and encouraging the congregation on the responsible management of God’s resources.

"Like good stewards the manifold grade of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”

We practice our stewardship through the giving to our church and others our time, talents, treasure and touch.

PRAYER

Helping the congregation grow in their spiritual life through prayer.

“Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4: 16

We practice our prayer muscles through example, education, prayer teams, devotional resources and more.
