Characteristics of a Fruitful Church

A Fruitful Church is ROOTED IN RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” (Colossians 2:6-7)

A Fruitful Church is a BIBLICAL Church developing the FATHERS HEART

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the

Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age’ ”

(Matt 28:18-20)

A Fruitful Church sees every DISCIPLE as an AMBASSADOR

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a

clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may

be ashamed of their slander."

(I Peter 3:15-16)
