Vision Statement:
Lake Eustis Christian Church builds communities that are transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
Core Values:
- We believe the Bible is the absolute truth and final authority in all matters, guiding us to a Spirit-filled life.
- We believe Christ’s church is a spiritual family that exists to support and encourage people in their walk with Jesus Christ.
- We believe Christians mature in their faith by actively serving, loving, caring, and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with their community.
