Vision

John 17:23 (NIV2011) I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. – Jesus

Unity of the Body in Christ: While the world is trying to find a way to bring people together, we want to be the example of the way. It is in the supernatural love of God through the Holy Spirit that enables us to be “One” despite our diversity. We have a vision of a Church united in Christ One with Him and with each other that will point the way to Unity.

Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV2011) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Jesus

Discipleship and Evangelism: Our vision is a Church where everyone is growing in Christ. Christ-Likeness is the goal. The decision to follow Jesus is just the beginning of our journey with Him. We are all responsible for fulfilling the “Great Commission” so we must all be moving toward Him.

Colossians 4:5-6 (NIV2011) Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Authentic Relationships with the community: Building relationships is what Jesus did. No one was beyond His love and we want to show the same thing. Our vision is that we become such an integral part of the community that we would be missed by all if we ceased to exist.

Multiplication: We want multiplication to be part of our DNA from the beginning. Disciples raising up new disciples, leaders raising up new leaders, and Churches planting new Churches.

This is a big vision. A vision not possible with man. It is a God sized vision and it can only be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit.
