Our Mission
We pray that everyone would have an encounter with the Lord, be equipped as a believer, and have a heart for evangelism. We want to be laser-focused in our efforts to make that vision a reality. Therefore, every ministry at Forks is done in an effort to foster the vision through corporate worship, discipleship, life groups, prayer meeting, and service projects creating deeper relationships with the Lord, with the church, and with the community.
Encounter with the Lord
We pray that everyone would have an encounter with the Lord.
What is an encounter with the Lord? Encounter means "to come upon face-to-face." When we come upon the Lord face-to-face God can transform us and give us purpose and direction like no other. An encounter with the Lord leads to salvation.
- God loves you: “For 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
- We are all sinners: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
- God has a remedy for sin: “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13
- Your assurance as a believer: If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
- A prayer to receive Christ: Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to save me of my sin. Lord Jesus, please forgive me of sin. I ask you to come into my heart. Thank you God for saving me. I love you Jesus. Amen
Equip the believer
We pray that everyone would be equipped as a believer.
What does it mean to be equipped as a believer? When you equip someone, you make sure that person is prepared for a particular situation or task. As Christians, we need to be prepared to do God's work out in the world. At Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church we offer Sunday School classes, Growth Groups, and Bible studies to equip/disciple the believer. To see what is being offered right now, please visit forksbaptist.org/groups.
Evangelize
We pray that everyone would have a heart for evangelism.
Evangelism is sharing Jesus Christ with people who do not know Him yet. The term “evangelist” is sometimes used to describe people who share the message of Jesus as their full-time personal ministry. But telling other people what you have experienced of God personally is a privilege available to anyone who believes in Jesus as their Lord and Savior (John 1:40-42, 45-46). In that sense personal evangelism is something all of us can do.
Wednesday Nights
Each Wednesday night we have a Fellowship Meal at 5:00 p.m. followed by a Prayer Meeting at 6:00 p.m. Our children’s and student ministries also meet at 6:00 p.m.
