About us
Breath of Life Christian Church (BOL) is...
…a multiethnic, economically diverse church family established by men and women seeking to know God and to make Him known through the pursuit of unity in accordance with the prayer of Jesus Christ (John 17:20-23) and patterned after the New Testament church at Antioch
(Acts 11:19-26; 13:1ff.).
Breath of Life is not...
…a church family that is focused on racial reconciliation. Rather, we a church family that is focused on reconciling men and women to God through faith in Jesus Christ and on reconciling ourselves to the principles and practices of first-century churches: congregations of faith in which diverse men and women walked, worked and worshipped God together as one Christian family for the sake of the gospel.
Mission
To know God and to make Him known through the pursuit of unity in accordance with the prayer of Jesus Christ (John 17:20-23) and patterned after the New Testament church at Antioch
(Acts 11:19-26; 13:1).
Vision
To be a healthy multiethnic and economically diverse (Acts 11:19-26; 13:1), culturally intelligent, socially just (Micah 6:8; Matthew 23:23), and financially sustainable (Matthew 25:14-30) church offering hope for all, beyond the distinctions of this world that otherwise divide.
Developmental Strategy
1. Worship the Father together as one.
Come and contribute before the Lord. (Acts 2:42-47 and Heb. 10:25; Mal. 3:8-12 and Mt. 23:23)
2. Walk together as one family in Christ.
Live with and love one another. (Acts 2:42-47 and 2 Tim. 2:15; Jn. 17:21-23 and Eph. 4:1-6)
3. Work together as one in the Spirit.
Serve others and share the Gospel. (Gal. 5:13 and I Pet. 4:10; Mt. 28:19, 20 and II Tim. 2:2)
4. Gather -Grow-Go! (Matthew 28:16-20)
