About

Our mission is to help people know who God is, what God has done for us through Jesus Christ, and how that changes everything.

We aim to carry out that vision through our Sunday morning worship services, children’s and youth ministries, Hand-in-Hand (our special needs/accommodations ministry), and through various midweek groups and Bible studies. We are affiliated with the Acts 29 Church Planting Network.

Our Story

In the summer of 2023, several families moved to Metamora and joined with residents of Metamora and the surrounding towns who had a vision for a new, gospel-centered, disciple-making, church-planting church. This growing team of individuals and families worked, planned, prayed, and played together throughout the summer towards the goal of making their vision a reality. On September 24, 2023, we had our first church service as Partridge Point Community Church.

We are a church that believes…

  • Jesus is necessary

    Although our natural tendency is to look to our own abilities, resources, and strategies to overcome our failures, weaknesses, and problems, our conviction is that our ultimate need is met in Jesus. It is Jesus that makes us right with God. It is Jesus that gives us spiritual life. It is Jesus that changes and transforms us from the inside-out.

  • Jesus is better

    Although our natural tendency is to find happiness through living for ourselves and what’s in it for us, our conviction is that all that we have in Jesus is better than anything else this world offers – that Jesus is our true treasure.

  • Jesus is with us

    Although our natural tendency is to trust in ourselves and to hide weaknesses from God and others, our conviction is that Jesus is with us to powerfully help and provide for us through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

Statement of Faith

We believe that a clear and reasonable expression of our faith is The Gospel Coalition Statement of Faith. This confession will be an aid to us in times of controversy, a confirmation of our faith, and a means of building us up towards Christ-likeness in helping us understand the riches of God’s grace and truth revealed to us through the Holy Scriptures.
