Ministry Vision

We are committed, to the best of our God-given abilities, to continually create an atmosphere where people are brought to a saving knowledge of God; to nurture in people a sincere love of God; and to develop in them this same vision.


WE ARE COMMITTED

“We” includes every leadership person, student and product of this vision who agrees wholeheartedly with the vision statement.  We are dedicated, unwavering, sold-out, and surrendered with 100% devotion to the Lord our God.  We can be counted on to endure to the end.  We are completely willing and surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 

“TO THE BEST OF OUR GOD-GIVEN ABILITY”

We strive for an excellence in personhood and ministry that is a quality not of men, but of God; to be better than the best.  We do our all, boldly moving forward, not in a spirit of timidity, but of power and assurance.  The essence of our strengths and weakness are at God's disposal.
 

“TO CONTINUALLY CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE”

As a matter of lifestyle we constantly press for improvement both in our personal lives, and in the ministry.  We are dedicated to consistently renewing a fresh environment enhancing the palatability of the gospel in light of God’s coming evaluation.

“WHERE PEOPLE ARE BROUGHT TO A SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF GOD;”

The gospel will be proclaimed frequently and without shame such that all who come in contact with our ministry will be presented with numerous opportunities to accept or reject Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.  We also commit to developing and maintaining an attractive lifestyle of purity, integrity and compassion that draws people into the flock. 

“TO NURTURE IN PEOPLE A SINCERE LOVE OF GOD;”

Through our sacrificial giving we will provide for the needs of others.  We will model, disciple and instruct in Christian living.  By placing the essence of our understanding of, and relationship with Jesus Christ in plain view, others will be encouraged and become confident in God.  We also commit to balanced biblical love.

“AND TO DEVELOP IN THEM THIS SAME VISION.”

Students become teachers, experiencing their fulfillment in the process of encouraging Christ-likeness in others.  They win others to Jesus Christ, discipling them until this very vision becomes their own. The cycle is completed. 




1 Corinthians 2:2
"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
