VISION STATEMENT v
OUR VISION
in the next five to ten years is to see
God develop us into a thriving church body where all the individual members
are moving toward God’s goal of being mature, reproducing Disciples of
Christ. (Matt 28:18-20; 2 Tim 2:2; Eph 4:15) v
We
dream of an
intentional process
to develop mature believers
(discipleship) and to help them reach out to lost people (evangelism). v
We
dream of intentional
training and equipping of godly leaders who can serve
throughout the body in a limited number of capacities where they are able to
devote adequate attention to each task while being fulfilled and affirmed. v
We
dream of all our
people becoming involved in small groups [youth
ministry and children’s ministry (age appropriate)] meeting regularly for
personal support, encouragement and growth. v
We
dream of a thriving,
growing youth ministry, including effective outreach to
the community with the expectation of having to call a full time youth
pastor. v
We
dream of a
multi-purpose building which would serve an increased
number of people for worship and support the reaching of the youth of our
community. v
We
dream of the Lord
saving many people and adding to the church those
who are growing and excited about knowing God more deeply as we carry out the
Great Commission in our community. v
We
dream of all members
being personally involved in evangelism, discipleship and small groups
which may require calling a person on staff to provide on-going leadership,
training and support in these areas. v
We
dream of a vibrant,
revitalized children’s ministry which may
require calling a person on staff to serve as a children’s pastor. v
We
dream of at least one
daughter church planted within our community. v
We
dream of our missions
program being a vital ministry of our church
through which we extend the hope of the Gospel and the love of Christ to
others around our nation and the world endeavoring to send those called from
our church as well as other missionaries.
