What to Expect
Growth and Development Vision
At Flipper Temple you will discover a warm group of real people dedicated to following our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. From the moment you walk up to the building you can expect…
Radical hospitality
A church environment that is inviting, receiving, welcoming, and caring. "Receive one another, just as Christ received us, to the glory of God". (Romans 15:7)
Passionate worship
Passionate worship that connects people to God and to one another. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My should longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord". (Psalm 84:1-2)
Intentional faith development
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Personal and corporate bible study and participation in church school strengthens our faith to live abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven. "They devoted themselves to the apostle's teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and the prayers". (Acts 2:42)
Risk taking mission & Service
Making a positive difference in the lives of others (the least of these) for the purposes of Christ, whether or not they be a part of the community of faith. "For I was hungry...thirsty...stranger...naked...sick...in prison...and you ministered to Me". (Matthew 25:31-46)
Extravagant generosity
Line in God's will in the area of finances. Elimination of debt, improved credit scores, giving of tithes, and managing the 90% in a way that honors God and edifies the believer. "Bring all the tithes...try Me now in this...I will open the windows of Heaven and pour you out blessings that there will not be room to receive". (Malachi 3:10)
focused evangelism
Every member will be empowered with the tools to lead others to Christ and the body of Christ called Church. "The Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved". (Acts 2:47)
temple care
The care of our physical bodies as if they are the temple of the Holy Spirit which God's word says they are. Church Facilities are well kept, first class and represent well God and Flipper Temple. ( I Corinthians 6:19; Psalm 84:1)
With these practices we trust that God will empower "souls to be saved, lives to be changed, bodies to be healed, yokes to be destroyed, prayers to be answered, time, talents and tithes to be given, needs to be met, pews to be filled, community to be empowered, and praises to go up and blessings to come down".
