Who We Are:

Vision -

At The Porch Community Church, we believe God has made it very clear that He wants His Church to have real connection with people in our community. Through Christ-centered community, we want to be a place where transformation happens.

Mission -

Following Jesus For Our Community. To help people go from unbelief to full-hearted devotion to Jesus Christ in our community.

We value the way Jesus shared the Good News…

Jesus is alive. 1 John 5:12

Jesus told stories relevant to His audience. Matthew 13:34

Jesus made disciples. Matthew 11:1

Jesus loved sinners. Mark 2:17

Jesus made way for the Holy Spirit. John 14:25-26

Jesus came to make things new. Matthew 9:16-17

As His Church we will do this too.

We are a part of The Foundry Network….. What does that mean?

Networking leaders of large, independent churches in the Wesleyan tradition for greater Kingdom impact.

The Foundry Network Beliefs:

  1. We believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

  2. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.

  3. We strive for ministry that is full of grace and full of truth.

  4. Our priority is for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ.

  5. We are committed to reach people that no one else is reaching.

  6. We are committed to relational discipleship.

  7. We are engaged in being the practical hands and feet of Christ in our communities.

  8. We affirm the sovereignty of God to gift all believers according to His will. It is our responsibility to equip those saints for their calling and giftedness in ministry.

  9. We affirm that marriage and sexual intimacy are good gifts from God. In keeping with the teachings of Scripture historically and throughout the Church universal, we believe that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union. We believe that God intends faithfulness in marriage and celibacy in singleness.

  10. We affirm the faith delivered to the saints as articulated in The EUB confession of Faith, the Articles of Religion of The Methodist Church and the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds.

The Story Behind The Name:

John Wesley (Where we get the “Wesleyan” name) leased an abandoned cannon factory in London and called it “The Foundry.” Where cannons were once forged, now men and women of God were forged through the faithful teaching of God’s word and through serving their communities in the name of Christ.

The Foundry Network seeks to forge a network of like minded pastors and churches who are aligned theologically and work together to reawaken the movement of Christ in our communities. This network is made up of accountable relationships that are simple and clear and that provide opportunities to learn, encourage, support and advance the Kingdom of God together.
