Axios Community Church - About Our Church

ABOUT US

Axios Community Church was birthed by the prayers of a small group of believers in May of 2002. Our name was prayerfully chosen and reveals a lot about the vision and nature of our church.

AXIOS
This reveals our prayer. Axios is a Greek word translated "worthy" in the New Testament. It means to be counted worthy, having merit, valuable, deserving. It is found in a prayer that Paul prayed for the church in Thessalonica in 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 which says, "With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."

Axios is an old word that has a new sound. It speaks of our desire to be a church rooted in the examples and teachings of the New Testament, yet relevant to the contemporary, fast-paced world of today.

COMMUNITY
This reveals our target. Our desire is to be a positive influence and make a positive impact on our immediate community. We have chosen not to be associated with any particular denomination. This decision enables us to welcome people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

CHURCH
This reveals our heart. It says that we are a fellowship of believers committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ and bound by love to His leadership and example. He is the Head and we are the members. Let us be a church where Christ is exalted and where His love governs our actions.
