PROVERBS 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Every growing church has a vision; every dying church has lost its vision.
OUR PURPOSE STATEMENT: “Our church’s purpose is to help every member become complete in Christ by emphasizing personal development in discipleship, evangelism, ministry, worship, and fellowship.”
And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ... (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
PASTOR’S VISION • “There are 93,000 people within seven miles of our church. We need to think, plan, and work as if we are God’s only solution within those seven miles.”
