Our Vision Story
We envision everyone in this county
hearing the Good News from the lips of someone in this church. We see
families, grandparents, parents, divorced, drug addicts, atheists, singles,
college students, teens, and children introduced to a loving God.
We envision creative environments
created to facilitate learning by using multi-sensory elements. We see
thousands of men, women, teenagers, children waking up on Sunday morning
excited about and anticipating going to a clean attractive environment where
excellence and creativity are immediately noticed.
We envision the Bible becoming relevant
and meaningful to people for the first time. We see people encountering
God in a fresh way through teaching, videos, arts, music, and drama. We
see individuals, marriages, and families, being encouraged, strengthened, and
empowered to make better choices through the practical application of the
Bible.
We envision the fear of the first time
melted by an extra caring touch and loneliness replaced with laughter. We
see acquaintances turning into deep authentic friendships as grace flows
through every relationship. We see a community that is unified as they
freely give out extravagant and unconditional love.
We envision motivated volunteers,
passionate about and eager to use their gifts to help, to serve, and to meet
the needs of others. We see every need being fulfilled by people who are
willing to give of themselves, their time, and their talents. We see a
continuous flow of new ministries being started and old ministries being
refreshed as every Christ-follower use his/her gifts.
We envision every leadership position
being filled with a person who has a passion for God, character, a servant's
heart and a leadership gift. We see servant leaders reproducing servant
leaders by pouring their lives into others through mentoring and coaching.
We envision life change seen in lots of
smiles as people who were once hurting, depressed, frustrated, and confused
have now found love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and
encouragement. We see hundreds of people going out from us as career
missionaries, pastors, and church workers all around the world. We see
every member empowered for a personal life mission in the world.
