About Perimeter Church

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:1-3​

Purpose​

(Why we exist)

TO glorify God and enjoy Him forever as we pursue kingdom flourishing together.

Kingdom Flourishing​

Kingdom Flourishing is rooted in the Hebrew word shalom and the Greek word eirene. These words are most often translated as peace in our English Bibles. Most of the time, we think of peace as being the absence of conflict. While it certainly is that, the words shalom and eirene are much richer in meaning. These words not only signify peace, but wholeness, completeness, welfare, fullness, rest and harmony. At Perimeter, the word that we use to encapsulate this biblical concept is the word flourishing. In Ephesians 2:13-14a, the Apostle Paul says, "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace (Greek: Eirene)."

The flourishing that we long for - the fullness of life for which we were originally created - is found only in Jesus and His kingdom as we submit ourselves increasingly more to His benevolent rule and reign.

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39"

We experience kingdom flourishing in us and through us as we grow in right relationship with:​

God - First and foremost, Jesus reconciles us to God through faith in Him and His atoning sacrifice and resurrection, bringing peace with God.

Others - The reconciling work of God through Christ is not only vertical but also horizontal, breaking down walls of hostility, and making enemies friends.

Self - As the Spirit of Christ transforms us, a right relationship with self comes into view as we holistically experience a reordering of desires and identity.
