Our vision for this church is to be a place where people from our community and distant places come to experience God in extraordinary ways. A church so filled with the Spirit that people living in darkness are drawn to the Light. Where the lost find salvation, the broken find healing, the tired find renewal and all know God a church that not only has a great impact on our community, but the world as well. People will know us by our love, our compassion, our faith and the excellence in all we do to bring honor to God.
WE WILL BE A COMMUNITY OF WORSHIP.
Our children, teens and adults will be an army of worshippers. Thousands will come from near and far to participate in weekly assemblies, conferences and concerts to experience an incredible measure of God's presence and power. New music and other worship resources will be created here to bless us and then be sent to the ends of the earth to bless others. Our campus will have room for thousands, hundreds, dozens, or just one to worship. Whether it is the main worship center, a prayer chapel or a small room these places will be designed to inspire children, teens and adults to give their hearts to God in praise and prayer. We will use visual and sound technologies in powerful ways to help open the eyes, the ears and the hearts to God's glory.
WE WILL BE A COMMUNITY OF PRAYER.
Everything we do will be bathed in prayer. From our youngest children to our oldest adults, we will learn how to pray. When you approach our building or walk into our commons area you will see special places for people to sit and pray together. When you enter our Worship Center you will see kneeling benches in areas for responses during times of worship. There will be a beautiful and inspirational prayer chapel that will be open 24/7 for all who need that quiet place in a noisy world to be with God. Our shepherd's and their wives, along with an army of prayer warriors, will be devoted to prayer. People from near and far will come to them for prayer and anointing. We will continually celebrate and stand in awe of the incredible stories of God's healing power.
WE WILL BE A COMMUNITY OF SERVICE.
Our campus will be strategically and centrally located for easy accessibility. It will be a place for numerous services that help us show Christ's love in our community. There will be a store for food, clothing and other necessities to help people in need. When people find life's struggles overwhelming, they will remember our counseling center they drive by every day. We will have the space to build a Christian School for pre-school through high school. Every day our campus will be a thriving center of activity where people are finding God and lives are being changed. Our church will also always be looking for ways we can go out into our community and help. Whether it is building or repairing a home, cleaning up trash on a highway, raking leaves in a yard, or taking meals to the homebound, we will go.
WE WILL BE A COMMUNITY OF THE WORD.
From our Bible classes to our small groups, from our worship assemblies to our personal study time, from our Christian schools to our family devotionals we will be dedicated to learning, living and sharing God's Word. Our Education Center will be well equipped with technology and space to accommodate a wide range of study opportunities, from the smallest children to the oldest adults. There will be space for smaller, more intimate classes, and great rooms for larger classes and seminars. When you enter a classroom there will be the smell of coffee and the sound of people excited to be together. There will be ongoing practical life-application studies and deeper scriptural studies throughout each week. There will be Bible study groups for men and women, youth and singles. There will be group and personal studies with those who are coming to know Christ. And there will be dynamic studies that help every person have a growing, Spirit-filled relationship with Jesus.
WE WILL BE A COMMUNITY OF BELONGING.
No matter how large God blesses this church to be, we will work hard to preserve the warmth and friendliness of our family. Our campus will include an exciting Youth Center as well as a very functional Children's Center and Nursery. These will be safe places for children and teens to spend time together building Christ-centered friendships. There will also be places children and teens from our community who need our love can come to join with our families. People can stop by the bookstore and coffee shop and meet friends any day of the week. Ministries and plans will continually be shaped to make sure every person has the opportunity to build significant relationships with others. Key to this will be every member's involvement in a small group. Our ministry staff will work hard to make sure information and data are current and easily accessible to every member so healthy scheduling can be planned between church, family, school and personal activities.
Once again, in all we do, we want to live God's love in our community to bring people into a growing and Spirit-filled relationship with Jesus.
May God give us the vision, faith, wisdom and strength to do all things with excellence for His glory!
