He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man." We believe that we are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters. We believe in the ongoing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, is poured out on believers that they might have God’s power to be His witnesses. We believe that the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy: sin, lies, sickness, and torment. We believe that the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His Church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/1620780481610-G2Y0IS383KM746AC4HA1/tempImageyLtAwM.gif About To live in such a way that the whole world feels they are invited. We want to represent Christ in such a way the the world would take notice and feel invited to the table of fellowship of believers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/1620781252801-UPIEIV8TJIDE143SEKMK/BA2E5A41-6FA5-4074-8D30-FA679BC2C4AC.jpeg About To Become Love - We are made in the image of God. According to 1 John 4:8, “God is Love” and Ephesians 5:8 calls us to “be imitators of God.” Our mandate is to BE LOVE every day in every sphere of influence we have by bringing kingdom solutions to every situation in front of us. https://www.thelivingroomva.com/our-team daily 0.75 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/1b4f5fa5-e79c-4f78-ac4e-66de47bae40b/IMG_1968.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/0095f5d3-eacf-4a81-a94c-4c620321087d/tempImagediXyTz.jpg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/a6bdf8f8-6f31-45e7-ae8c-1e8ef69bc5c2/IMG_1780.jpeg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/d00b08f0-4666-466a-b556-eb0ad6bfd802/IMG_1735.jpeg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/6d060c82-9eef-4b75-ba1b-cbb6cffb7df6/IMG_1760.jpeg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/a0862538-19e5-4fb7-9055-11ecc4efe856/IMG_1723.jpeg Meet Our Team https://www.thelivingroomva.com/events daily 0.75 2024-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/36c5c5f5-290b-46e7-8ebb-ab15722d940f/IMG_5299.jpeg https://www.thelivingroomva.com/senior-leadership-team daily 0.75 2024-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/0095f5d3-eacf-4a81-a94c-4c620321087d/tempImagediXyTz.jpg Senior Leadership Team - Elliott & Sarah Schweickert Elliott and Sarah Schweickert are the founders and two of the senior leaders of The Living Room Virginia. They started The Living Room out of a hunger to worship and gather in the context of family and community. By coming together in the pursuit of authenticity and heart connection, they have discovered attributes of the kingdom of God that could only be found around tables and in living rooms. The mission of their family is “to live in such a way that the whole world feels they are invited.” It has been a thread that they have pursued throughout their lives both privately and publicly. Elliott and Sarah’s mission is to live from a place of wholeheartedness and be fully connected to the Holy Spirit and each other. They long to empower a generation to live with bold faith and a resounding yes to the pursuit of God’s presence. Elliott is a former graduate of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA. He was adopted from Ukraine and still has strong ties with family and friends there. He has a heart for South Africa and has spent time serving with Iris Ministries. He was also an associate pastor for 5 years at The River Church in Toano, VA. Sarah has a passion for music, the arts and creativity. She wants to inspire others to chase curiosity in their lives and to connect to the Lord through play, joy and creativity. She is a recording artist as well as a dancer and avid painter. Both Sarah and Elliott are very active in the management of King of Clubs Brewing Co, a coffee roastery that was recently acquired by The Living Room. They are excited to continue in management and grow a business that can not only fund the kingdom of God but also be an open atmosphere for others to connect with each other and the Lord. They currently live in Lanexa, VA with their cat, Todd and dog, Copper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdff9b1d7fbea164c30222f/a6bdf8f8-6f31-45e7-ae8c-1e8ef69bc5c2/IMG_1780.jpeg Senior Leadership Team - Emily Wade Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
