A New Vision
During the Fall, we will be looking at our in-process Vision Statement, asking how this points us to what kind of church God is calling us to be, and exploring how we might live that out. Hopefully, this imaginative process is exciting to you, as God can do amazing things when we are open to the fresh leadings of his Spirit.
Here's the statement:
Living the GOSPEL LIFE together as we
GLORIFY God in whole-life worship,
GROW as disciples by word and Spirit, and
GLOW with Christ's love in our neighborhoods.
