Mission/Vision/Core Values

Our MISSION: WhiteRose Fellowship Church exists to lead both irreligious individuals and Christ-followers toward whole-hearted devotion to Jesus Christ.

Our VISION is to be a Christ-honoring, Spirit-controlled, Biblically-guided people in the Peoria area who invest their lives into:

Loving God:

• We believe that loving God is our first priority, as modeled by the life of Jesus.
• We believe that loving God is best modeled by a lifestyle of prayer.
• We believe that loving God demonstrates itself in a lifestyle of worship.
• We believe that loving God is both a personal and a corporate experience.
• We believe that loving God demonstrates itself through a corporate worship experience, which uses contemporary and innovative means to address both the churched and unchurched culture of the day with biblically centered preaching.
• We believe that loving God is demonstrated when we are faithful stewards with all that God has given us.

Loving Others:

• We believe that loving others is a non-negotiable biblical command, which Christ's followers must embrace and model.
• We believe that loving others is best modeled through serving others.
• We believe that loving others can be successfully accomplished as each Christ-follower learns about, embraces, and humbly uses his or her spiritual gifts.
• We believe that loving others means intentionally reaching out to both the churched and the unchurched in practical, helpful ways.
• We believe that loving others means faithfully implementing the "one another" teachings of Scripture.
• We believe that loving others means faithfully practicing the conflict resolution principles taught in God's Word.
• We believe that loving others will be the Spirit-empowered result of first loving God.

Making Disciples:

• We believe that making disciples is not an option for the Christ-follower; it is our commission and it is the Lord's command.
• We believe that making disciples means first BEING a disciple who has a changed mind, a changed heart, and a changed life-style, all of which are wholly devoted to Christ.
• We believe that making disciples will be embraced and implemented as a value by the church through the teaching and lifestyle example of strong pastoral leadership.
• We believe that making disciples and developing servant leaders should always remain a top priority for every pastor and every leader at WhiteRose Fellowship Church.
• We believe that making disciples occurs best in small groups, which are designed to positively affect life-change and meet specific needs in a person's life.
• We believe that making disciples mandates reaching out with a missions-mindset to our immediate neighbors as well as around the globe.
• We believe that making disciples includes the responsibility of planting new churches.
