AS WE LOOK ahead, we see a church community…

  • That is rooted in the foundations of the New Testament church
  • That is filled with genuine followers of Jesus and with people searching for truth

    • Whose people are empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel locally, regionally, nationally and globally
    • That represents every ethnic group and age group in the local area
    • That is unashamed of the life and teaching of Jesus
    • Whose leaders lead as a community – modeling genuine Christianity and servant leadership for others
    • That is devoted to reading and studying the Bible
    • That is relational at it’s core – where people are intimately connected beyond Sunday morning attendance
    • That shares meals together
    • That worships passionately and prays fervently together
    • Whose resources are generously shared among the people
    • That is growing through daily life transformations
    • That serves orphans and widows and meets the needs of people in the local area
    • That expects to experience the healing and miraculous work of Jesus in people’s lives
    • That raises up and sends out people to serve God in other areas of the city, state country and world
    • That isn’t held back by disagreements, but seeks consensus through open discussion
    • That sees family relationships as a primary foundation for the church
    • That doesn’t consider itself an organization – but an organism… a body… a family
    • That relates the Gospel clearly to those who are not followers of Christ
