O U R      M I S S I O N      Our Mission Statement*:   Out of our one and only priority of worshiping and serving God with excellence, to His glory, the purpose of the Staples Church of Christ is:    First, evangelism: To lead others to a commitment to Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. (Matthew 28:18-20) Second, we desire to edify the saved.  We do this through strong education in the Scriptures, close fellowship with other believers and the use of our God-given gifts for the building up of others. (Ephesians 4:11-12) Third, our goal is to minister to those who are in need.  (Matthew25:40) Fourth, we ought to be a conscience in the community, speaking out for the truth in a secular society(Matthew 5:14-16)      *Adapted from Southeastern Christian Church, Louisville, Kentucky
