Our Vision

Specific description of what accomplishing our mission looks like...

It is the vision of a PEOPLE glorifying and worshiping God, lifting up the name of Jesus Christ in our world today.

It is the vision of a PLACE where the searching or the hurting, the lonely or the frustrated, the rich or the poor-indeed where anyone can find love, forgiveness, acceptance and hope-salvation and victory in life through Jesus Christ! The church is people, but people need a place to call their home.

It is the vision of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, in the power of His Spirit, with the thousands of people living in our communities south of St. Louis.

It is the vision of welcoming a thousand members and more into the fellowship of our church family-loving, learning, laughing, living, and serving Christ in harmony together.

It is the vision of relating through small groups and other casual venues, building healthy friendships in God's house that provide support, encouragement and inspiration to be all we can be in God, relating in down-to-earth ways that fulfill people's hearts and lives in ways that corporate structure or religious institution cannot.

It is the vision of developing people and families to their fullest potential, to spiritual maturity, leadership in life, living a life of righteousness and victory-through relevant and meaningful biblical messages, classes, Bible studies, small groups, seminars, retreats, ministries, mentoring, a full Bible school for our members-and through helping them develop and deepen their personal relationship with the Lord through prayer, worship, and Bible reading.

It is the vision of equipping every believer to fulfill and be fulfilled in their unique ministry through training, teaching, mentoring and modeling-helping them discover, use and develop with excellence the gifts and talents God has given them.

It is the vision of empowering every member for a personal life mission in the world, including effectively sharing the good news of Christ, touching the lives of others with His love and redeeming power through works of service and words of grace, and by demonstrating in life the goodness and blessing of God's unique and abundant plan for each of our lives.

It is the vision of impacting our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ through large and relevant special events, works of service and expressions of God's love for our community, and personally sharing the gospel with those we meet.

It is the vision of calling our nation back to God, Who is the source of America's blessings, and encouraging our people to be involved with godly values in the life of our nation at every level.

It is the vision of sending missionaries, ministers, and lay people across the nation and around the world with the gospel, reaching other nations for Christ, aiding and establishing churches, including sending out our members by the hundreds on short-term mission trips to other countries.

It is the vision of "A Campus for Christ" -multiple acres of land on which we will build a regional church for our communities south of St. Louis-with appealing yet functional facilities, including a Worship Center ultimately seating over a thousand, with supporting facilities for children and youth and ministries for all ages-including facilities for missions, outreach, recreation, fellowship, and community-perhaps even multiple campus locations-all for the glory of God and the blessing of people!
