Jesus’ earthly ministry was holistic. As we examine Scripture, we see that the whole gospel is comprehensive in scope with wide-ranging implications. Jesus taught, prayed, fed, forgave, healed, blessed, and embraced. The gospel transforms our spirits by His grace; it transforms our thoughts and priorities by His Word; it brings healing to our bodies and healing to our hearts by His Spirit. The message… the gospel…the good news of the Kingdom addresses the body, mind, heart, and spirit of every person. Chartwell will strive to be a church that embraces the whole gospel in every area of our lives.
The gospel of Jesus is the power of God at work in transforming history and redeeming creation. The gospel is evangelism, disciple-making, shalom, justice, ethical transformation, speaking truth to power, caring for creation, challenging corrupt systems, even suffering and enduring persecution. So powerful and far-reaching is the mind and plan of God, that He can hold all things from creation to new creation within the scope of the whole gospel, because fundamentally the gospel is Christ Himself. Chartwell is committed to partnering with God to declare and demonstrate His rule and reign over every sphere of life.
