OUR DNA: WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO!
All we do here at Hawthorne Gospel Church springs from a...

...reverence and respect for the Bible The Bible is truly God’s Word and it is the foundation of our ministry, and through the Spirit a catalyst for transforming lives. We will innovatively help people see the relevance of God’s Word

...burden and passion for the lost God’s great love for the world motivates us to reach out with creative and caring ways of sharing the gospel. Locally, we will build bridges to the people in our communities and globally, we will devote ourselves to world missions

...realization of our utter need to call upon God Recognizing we can do nothing apart from Christ, we will pray aggressively and fervently, saturating all we do in prayer. Our church will be a “house of prayer.” We will encourage and challenge each other to pray more readily and effectively

...longing for believers to grow in maturity and Christlikeness Every believer should be maturing in conformity to the image of Christ. All our teaching, learning and studying are directed to help us become more Christlike and connect to God and others. All of our ministries will focus on “making disciples.”

...yearning to wholeheartedly worship God Spirit-led, vibrant, fresh, creative and excellent describe our corporate worship. We will glorify the Lord in all we do, serving enthusiastically, giving generously and yielding totally to Him

...desire to be a loving, caring community We will be a safe, loving, gracious family characterized by authentic, vital, and meaningful relationships
