As an interdenominational congregation, World Outreach Church focuses on the beliefs that unite all Christians and is in the mainstream of the historic Christian faith. The Apostles’ Creed frames our statement of belief.

• We believe that every believer is a minister, and we strive to help every person discover, develop, and use their talents in ministry.
• It is our commitment to major on the major doctrines, while minoring on the minors: “In essentials unity, in non-essentials diversity, in all things charity.”
• We strive for excellence in every area of ministry.
• The Apostles' Creed: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into Hades; the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

• Attracting and leading the unsaved to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Encouraging Christians to consecrate themselves to God’s purpose in their lives.
• Providing a climate in which worship and personal spiritual growth occur.
• Equipping believers for effective ministry to reach the Murfreesboro area and the whole earth.

We believe the Bible is the foundation for both our faith and practice. In addition to the Apostles’ Creed, we believe:

• The Bible is God’s unique revelation to people. It is the inspired Word of God, providing an authoritative and trustworthy rule of faith and practice.
• There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, willingly took upon Himself all our sins, died and rose again bodily, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will return one day to consummate history and to fulfill the eternal plan of God.
• All people are created in God’s image, having an innate value and dignity, but alienated from God by sin and justly subject to God’s wrath.
• Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that must be received by humble repentance and faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross.
• The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit gives all believers a new life and a new calling to obedient service.
• All believers are members of the Body of Christ, the one true Church universal.

Our Vision is for World Outreach Church to be a transforming place for people—across our community, throughout Middle Tennessee, and around the Earth.

We believe that a relationship with God is the greatest opportunity ever extended to a person. Our experience as Christ-followers should be liberating and hope-filled.

• We’re committed to leadership development. We place a high priority on the recruitment, equipping, and involvement of lay ministry.
• We maintain a caring, nurturing atmosphere.
• We depend upon the direction and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

According to the Bible, all believers should be baptized in water, just like Jesus Himself. To be eligible for baptism in water, all you need to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and make a commitment to follow Him.

Baptism doesn’t make someone a Christian. Baptism shows they already are one; it is a public declaration they have made Jesus Christ Lord of their lives.

We include water baptism as part of our outdoor Spring and Fall Worship Festivals, with an above-ground pool available for baptisms after every Saturday evening worship service. Registrations for baptisms are taken online. Individuals, couples, and families may be baptized together. Contact us for additional information.

Our policy is to wait to baptize children until they are at least eight years old or in 3rd grade. We want young children to understand what baptism means—they have decided to make Jesus Christ Lord of their lives—and they are old enough to have a clear memory of being baptized when they are an adult. Water baptism and its significance are included in our 2nd grade Children’s Ministry curriculum.

Giving is a form of worship, as much as making music, singing, or anything else. Tithing isn’t about maintaining church budgets or projects; it’s an expression of faith that brings transformation to our lives.

We are in a season of change, and trusting the Lord for our future is a fundamental principle we need to put into practice. Learning to give—and to give with freedom and a spirit of generosity—helps develop that trust. After all, God is the One who provides all things in our lives. When we express our gratitude to Him by giving to His Church and His Kingdom purposes, it builds a quiet, steady confidence in His faithfulness—even when challenges and turmoil escalate. As a congregation, we have come to recognize the great joy of presenting both our lives and our resources as gifts to the Lord, and the return is miracle story after miracle story.
