Who We Are...
“The FourFold Gospel”

Jesus is the one who saves us - The Cross
The cross stands for salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. "...God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Jesus is the one who cleans up Our Lives - The Laver
The Laver (wash basin) is representative of that daily cleansing from sin by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, sanctification. "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23,24

Jesus is the one who heals us - The Pitcher
The pitcher speaks of oil for divine life and physical healing that come through obedience to God's Word. "Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted... and by his wounds, we are healed."
Isaiah 53:4, 5b

Jesus is our Coming King - The Crown
The crown symbolizes the return of our Lord Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. "This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
Acts 1:11b

Where We Look
Our Purpose & Vision Statement.

Nipawin Alliance Church
bringing glory to God...

This fragment of a sentence is the the simplist and clearest way of telling you what our purpose is.
"Dedicated to the Glory of God" is inscribed on the plaque when you come in. In everything we say and do we want to shine light on our glorious God. We want to join with all creation in giving Him glory. How do we strive to do this?

By Inward nurture of
the Great Community.

Acts 2:42 tells us that church devoted itself to teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer. The church is called to nurture the community of faith. This is our inward vision of caring and sharing with one another.

By Outward pursuit of
the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:19-20 tells us that the followers of Jesus are told to go and make disciples of all peoples. The church is called to pursue the lost outside its comfortable pews. This is our outward vision of reaching a hurting world with the Good News of great joy.

By Upward demonstration
of the Great Commandment

Matthew 22:37 tells us we are to love God with all that we have. We are worship, pray, and surrender ourselves to the Spirit's leading. The church is called to demonstrate its love for God. This is our upward vision of worship and prayer.
