Bridging the Gap between Christ and the Community and between Christian Immaturity and Christian Maturity
The God given vision for Rehoboth Baptist Church is to become the center of our community. We are a church set on a hill. Bridging the gap is the summation of our mission and our vision statement. The church collectively and the member individually are the links to bridge any gap!
The bible speaks of a city set on a hill giving light to all, and drawing all. We envision a biblical fulfillment of that scripture in Matthew 5:14-16 where it says, "A city on a hill can not be hidden." We desire not to be hidden but visibly meeting needs in the community "that man might see our good works and glorify the Father in heaven."
The Rehoboth Seal captures the two-sided meaning of our vision which is taken from the scripture Matthew 5:14-16.
Our vision statement of Bridging the Gap means doing the work of God.
The first part of the vision statement addresses inside the walls of the church. We are Bridging the Gap between Christian immaturity and Christian maturity. For this reason, the seal can be seen as steps to the Cross of Christ.
The second part of our vision is outside the walls of the church. We are Bridging the Gap between Christ and the Community. Our vision is that Christ and the Church become the center of our community. For this second reason, the seal can also be viewed as the Cross of Christ planted in the middle of the Summit, which is the community and neighborhoods around the church.
Our desire at Rehoboth is to see individuals and families grow closer to God than ever before.
