Who We Are
When we started Good News Church, we had something very distinctive in mind.
Our thinking was that Leesburg didn't need another traditional church. There were plenty of great traditional churches in this area doing wonderful things.
We felt that what was needed was a different kind of church:
A church that would reach a wider spectrum of people, especially the unchurched
A church that bleeds honesty and authenticity
A church that is contemporary, relevant, open-armed, and casual
A church where no one is perfect, but everyone is seeking, growing, and desiring to serve and honor God
A church where all are accepted just as they are and challenged to be more than they are through the transformational power of the Gospel
A church that proclaims the Good News in plain language and helps people to become followers of Jesus Christ
Our mission statement is broken down into three simple principles:
Love God
Love each other
Love people who don't know God yet
Yes, that is a tall order, but that is what Jesus told us to do in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. He was very clear.
WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Savior of the world, and the lover of our souls. He came to save us and not condemn us. He is the ultimate teacher, friend, leader, shepherd, and God in human flesh.
WE BELIEVE a right relationship with God can't be earned by religious duties or good works. Forgiveness is a free gift we are given when we trust in Jesus Christ and what He did for us at the Cross and Resurrection.
WE BELIEVE the Bible is God's living Word to us and the only standard for "what we believe and how we live."
WE BELIEVE in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the practice of regular worship, the Lord's Supper, baptism, and spiritual growth.
So that's the plan. That's why we're here and that's what we do. If that sounds like your kind of church, then come join us and be part of what God is doing at, with, and through Good News Church
