where we would like to be in a few years
This is our vision. This is our goal and what we have set out
to accomplish.
- People starting "simple churches" in their homes or workplace, or wherever they meet. Simple churches are simply a gathering of people, exploring the teachings of Jesus and how they affect our lives today, for the benefit of the world we are a part of.
- Contstantly living out the faith, love, and hope we experience in our lives, always being ready to share it with others who ask about it. Living in such a way that we are asked about it, not something we have to tell people about because they could not see it.
- A worship of God and all that he has done for us through the everyday activities of our lives. Looking for opportunity to worship in every conversation, act of kindness, or wherever we might be engaged by recognizing God's hand in all that we do and see, not just limited to a "sunday morning experience".
- Breaking down the negative stereotype of what "church" is and what a "Christian" is as perceived by many people. Getting back to the still revolutionary message of Jesus, getting away from the Americanized, commercial Christianity that is thought of today.
- Strong community of relationships among those attending;
serving each other, holding each other accountable,
helping each other to grow and simply loving each
other.
- Gatherings where biblical truths are
discovered and the presence of God is experienced in the midst, pertaining to the needs of those attending
while focusing on continued spiritual growth seeking God's direction for our lives.
