ABOUT
Our heart is for people, and our passion is reaching them with the love of Jesus.
3|16 Church is a brand new, life-giving church in the Richmond Metro Area. Our desire is to build God's Church through a method similar to the Church in the book of Acts. Gathering for worship, discipleship in small groups, sharing the love of Jesus to everyone, building real relationships and growing in our walk with Jesus together.
The verse John 3:16 in the Bible states "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son [Jesus], so that everyone who believes in Him will not die but have eternal life." Other than the amazing act of what God did, the part that stands out to us is who God did this for. He gave His son Jesus so that Every One who believes in Him would have eternal life. God's plan is for every single person, Every One, to know Him. For Every One to be loved. For Every One to experience His joy and peace. We are bringing this hope of Jesus and the message that Every One matters to the lives of the wonderful people in the Richmond, VA area.
VISION
We exist to show that every One matters to God and invite every One to know Him in a real way
MISSION
To love our communities, build life long relationships with God and others and inspire leaders to fulfill their purpose in Christ
LOVE PEOPLE. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. INSPIRE PURPOSE.
The heart and vision of 3|16 Church is that of Pastors Aaron and Brittany Clark. They grew up by the beach in Wilmington, NC and have served the church in many areas over the past 16 years. After several years of prayer, they felt led to make a move with their three children to the Richmond area in June '21. They have a desire to make a difference in the lives and community of the metro by showing every single person that they matter and inviting them to know the love and hope that is found in Jesus.
OUR PASTORS
Our Core Values
WE ARE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe we are God's Church. Without Him telling where to go, what to do and who to love, we wouldn't be His Church. We want to be led by His Spirit in everything that we do.
WE BELIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE
EVERY ONE MATTERS
We believe that God is exactly who He says that He is. He has always done the impossible and He asks us to believe that the impossible is in fact still very much possible.
Every single one matters. Everyone always has and always will matter to God. Every one is important to God and every one is important to us.
WE CHOOSE JOY
WE TAKE THE FIRST STEP
WE PURSUE UNITY
Your attitude plays a HUGE part in everything that you do. At 3|16 Church we choose joy in everything. We choose to act through an attitude of joy in our serving, giving, and love.
God has been pursuing us since our fall away from Him in the garden. Then He took the first step in seeking us out even in our mistake and has taken every step towards people since. He has set the example for us and invites us to do the same towards others.
The Bible tells us that God commands blessing through unity. We want to make sure that we all are on the same page, with the same excitement, and for the same purpose in all things.
We desire to be one Church.
KNOW THE WHY
Knowing the why for anything drives motivation and passion. We as a church have a mission that keeps our why in front of everything that we do. We judge every decision on the reason for making it.
WE GIVE GENEROUSLY
Following the example of Jesus and never requiring or expecting anything in return, we give because of grace and love.
WE GO THE EXTRA MILE
We believe in not just doing things right, but doing them exceptionally. We want to strive to not just tell you or even show you, but walk with you hand in hand through this journey together. Equipping and discipling through it all.
WE MULTIPLY OURSELVES
We were never meant to do this alone. We believe EVERYONE has a place. We want to strive to always model, train, equip and release others to do the same things in order to reach more people with the love of Jesus together.
