The Power of Vision
A clear vision provides the church with clear direction. It
answers the question, “Where is the church going?” A clear vision enables the
church to move together in unity of mind, spirit, and purpose. It ensures that
we are all on the same page with regard to what the Father wants to accomplish
through us.
A clear vision motivates; it ignites the fire and passion of the
church. Clear vision, spiritually speaking, can be described as the difference
between boxing and shadow boxing. It motivates us to give our life, time, and
finances for eternal matters.

Our Vision Statement:
We are a compassionate church that reaches out to the lost and hurting and gets
them to Jesus Christ. A church that remembers that the God who delivered them
also seeks to deliver their friends. (Matt. 28:18-20; Isaiah 25:6; 2 Peter 3:9)
We are a church that has a message so clear, powerful and loving, that lives
are absolutely changed by the power of the Holy Spirit...the impossible becomes
possible (Eph. 3:14-21; II Cor. 5:7). A church that joyously gives itself to
studying and obeying God’s Word. Not satisfied to read about God’s historical
moves, but instead yearning to see a move of God first-hand (I Thess. 1:5).
We are a church taught to obey the loving commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ
(Matthew 28:19-20). A church that understands that their lives are not their
own. Having tried everything under the sun, and found it truly lacking, they
intentionally and freely make the decision to follow the creator of the
universe-Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:19-20).
We are a church that moves in the unity, love and sacrifice that is indicative
of Christian maturity (Romans 15:1-5). Unity in the affairs of the King,
selfless love for one another and in sacrifice that is willing to pay the price
to see revival sweep this land.
We are a church that understands and testifies to the goodness of God in Jesus
Christ (Psalms 34:8; Eph. 3:18-19). As we gather we vibrantly praise God,
knowing that He who promised has continued to prove Himself faithful.
We are a church that understands that the spiritual controls the physical. That
nothing of significance or release will occur without prayer; a church that
looks for opportunities to pray and ask God to invade our community. (Col.
1:9-14; Luke 10:2; I Tim. 2:1-4)
We are a generous church, knowing that He who supplies seed to the farmer will
increase the supply of seed and harvest of righteousness. A church that is
willing to give itself away because it knows that in doing so God will receive
praise. (II Cor. 9:10-15)
