OUR VISION IS ALWAYS JESUS.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Bringing the Message and Ministry of Jesus Into Everyday Life.
THE VISION EXPLAINED
Bringing:
When God came to transform the world, what kind of pace did He take? 5 km/hr. That's human walking speed. Jesus came and dwelled among us. He walked along sea sides and city streets bringing Heaven's love and truth at the divine pace of humans in relationship. This influences how we intend to do our part in our community and through our church today.
Message and Ministry:
Jesus didn't do everything solo. In shocking generosity and trust, He called ordinary people to follow Him and do the things He was doing and say the things He was saying. Today, everyone still has a chance to "do the stuff." The truth of Jesus' message and the power of His love at work are not in the hands of a select few. Jesus' words and actions will advance through the everybodys and anybodys that will trust and follow Him!
Jesus:
Our vision is always Jesus. Not a church, a program, a personality, or even the ways or works of Jesus as wonderful as they are. Jesus is at the centre! He is the beginning and the end. He is over all. In all. And for all. He is the Word made flesh. He is the Lamb who was slain and who triumphed over death and every evil darkness. He is the only Saviour and the only Lord. His rule of peace will never end. Jesus is alive today! He fills our lives by His Spirit, and is renewing our world through His faith-family, the church!
Everyday Life:
The words and work of Jesus are not limited to a Sunday church service. If that were so, faith would really be about what happens for around two hours on one day a week. But Jesus died for--and lives for--so much more. The other 22 hours and 6 days matter just as uch. I guess if we're taking the saturation of our faith into day-to-day living seriously, you could say we're a 22/6 church! As wonderful and important as Sunday gatherings are in our church life, imagine how much more God can do in us and our community when Jesus' words and ways work through each of us into our neighbourhoods, schools, and workplaces in the everyday stuff of life.
