Who We Are

The Marshall fires on December 30, 2021, which destroyed nearly 1,000 homes and structures in the area, provided an unexpected opportunity for community service and ultimately led to a significant transformation. During this crisis two churches connected through their shared mission actively supporting fire recovery efforts, distributing thousands of dollars to people directly affected by the fires.

As both churches mobilized to serve the community in need, their leadership began discussing a potential merger. Leaders from both congregations started to meet regularly, share meals, pray together, and discern what God wanted for their future. While there were several practical benefits to merging, prayer led both churches to conclude that God was moving and starting something new. Through these discussions, they discovered they had far more in common than differences in their beliefs and practices.

Following this period of prayer and discernment in early 2022, both churches held congregational votes on merging in April, each responding with a unanimous "yes." A committee composed of leaders from both churches was formed to determine the name of the merged congregation, and "Legacy Church" was chosen.

The new unified church was officially established in April of 2022 and held its first service on June 5, 2022, representing a new chapter while honoring one body’s nearly 150-year heritage and the other’s 25-year legacy of community impact, outreach focus, and commitment to helping people discover and follow Jesus—values that continue to shape the ministry of Legacy Church today.

We truly believe we are better together, and God’s work in us and through us so far has proven that to be true. We are now Legacy Church!

Where we're headed

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, that these are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.

We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son. We believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, performed miracles and His teachings are authoritative. We believe He died as our substitutionary atonement, was buried, was resurrected on the third day, and ascended into heaven. He perpetually intercedes for His people, and will return personally and visibly to earth.

We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.

We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under eternal judgment. We believe that those who repent of their sins, trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and receive His incredible forgiveness are rescued and transformed by the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the universal Church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of glorifying God by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world and making disciples of all nations.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and communion. We believe the most impactful expression of Christian baptism is by immersion. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. We believe that Communion was instituted by Christ for the remembrance of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered by the church until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that local and global churches can best promote the message and person of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in a spirit of unity. We are all part of the body of Christ and have been given the Great Commission. We prioritize the Kingdom of God first before our personal programs and efforts.

We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, eternal life in heaven for the believer and separation for those who do not believe and put their trust in Jesus Christ.

We don't ignore culture; instead, we strive to filter it through Scripture rather than filtering scripture through our cultural lenses. We ask, "What does God say about this?" before deciding how to live.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Programs exist to serve people, not the other way around - the moment a ministry becomes more important than the person sitting in front of you, we've missed the point. Jesus regularly allowed HIs plans to be interrupted for individuals who needed Him, and we want to have the same heart for the people in front of us.

Matthew 9:36 - "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."

We're not going to keep doing something just because "we've always done it that way,” if it's not actually helping people follow Jesus. The mission is clear - make disciples - but how we do that can and should change as culture changes and as we learn better ways to reach people.

Matthew 28:19-20 - "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."

Here's the thing - we will all fail each other eventually, in either small ways or larger ways. We will mispeak, drop the ball, act out of anger, or even sin against each other. When something happens, we choose to believe the best in each other rather than assuming the worst. Instead of writing the worst possible story in our heads about someone's motives, what if we started with "I bet they meant well"? When we give people the benefit of the doubt and believe the best, it prevents us from making matters worse and further fracturing relationships.

1 Corinthians 13:5 - "It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”

Direct conversation might feel scary, but it's the only way to actually solve things and build trust instead of letting resentment fester. If you've got a problem with someone, talk with them about it - not your spouse, not your small group, and not the parking lot after service. Similarly, letting it fester in your own mind will also cause the issue to worsen.

Matthew 18:15 - "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over."

The Christian life is meant to be lived in community, not consumed like entertainment, and you'll discover who God made you to be when you jump in. Church isn't a show where you sit back and critique the performance - God has given you gifts, and we need you to use them. The people need what God has given you.

1 Corinthians 12:7 - "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."

Generosity isn't just about money (though that's part of it) - it's about being generous with your time, your grace, your forgiveness, and your encouragement. When we live with open hands instead of clenched fists, we reflect God's heart and create a community where people experience His abundance. The standard Jesus set for us is generosity that’s characterized by sacrifice.

2 Corinthians 9:11 - "You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God."

Your word matters - when you say you'll do something, people are counting on you, and following through builds the kind of trust that lets ministry happen. Reliability isn't flashy, but it's foundational - it's how we show that God is faithful through us.

Matthew 5:37 - "All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."
