We welcome people to a journey of transformation in Christ toward a more caring and just world.
What We’re About:
Scripture
We believe scripture is all we need for faith, doctrine, and conduct. "The Scriptures are the Church's sole normative authority for faith, doctrine, and conduct." Scripture itself testifies to its role, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).
Intergenerational Community
We are one body with many members, and we need each other. Our community is at its best when we are living into this value as a way of growing together in Christ as one body with many members (Romans 12:5).
Gospel
We are gospel people, changed by the good news of Jesus Christ. Our life together is centered on the gospel concept that we have been:
Designed for good
Damaged by evil
Restored for better
Sent together to heal
We believe this news is truly good for all.
Welcome
At Batavia Covenant Church, we aim to welcome each other, our neighbors, strangers, immigrants, and the marginalized as God has welcomed us (Romans 15:7). We extend this welcome on Sunday mornings and anywhere that the church is gathering. God has blessed us with a gift of hospitality and we use it whenever possible!
