The Church I see is a family where friendliness, honesty and openness is valued; a people who make everyone feel welcome and accepted through genuine love and hospitality.

The Church that I see is an encouragement to other Churches; a Church so large in size that the city cannot ignore it; a Church growing so quickly that buildings struggle to contain it, yet so small that each person feels a vital part of it, by connecting with our network of LifeGroups around the city.

I see a church whose love for God is so explosive that our praise and worship will be felt in heaven and on earth. A Church so excited and grateful for the goodness of God in their lives that they must praise Him, singing and writing songs that lift up Jesus Christ.

I see a Church whose altars and homes are constantly filled with repentant sinners responding to Christ’s call to salvation.

The Church that I see is so filled with the Holy Spirit that nothing will stop it nor stand against it.

A Church where the miraculous is expected, people’s gifts are empowered and the Spirit’s fruit is experienced.

The Church that I see has a message so clear that lives are changed forever. A Church where God’s word is opened and taught and people align their values, attitudes and lifestyle to God’s ways.

I see a people so kingdom minded that they will count the cost and pay the price, whatever that may be, to see the church take its place as the hope of the world.

The Church that I see is a Church so committed to raising, training and empowering a leadership generation to reap the harvest, that all its ministries are consumed with this goal.
I see a Church whose focus is the Great Commission, reaching our city and nation via Satellite Churches and Church Planting; a Church that uses all the modern advertising mediums to reach the critical mass.

The Church that I see is a Church of great compassion where the hurting are drawn to find hope and answers to their problems; where people are healed, set free and made whole.

I see a church that is multigenerational, where the children growing up in church will have a double dose of passion and love for God and His Kingdom.

Yes, the church I see is the most beautiful place. However, it takes people like you and our God to make the dream a reality. Let’s change our world one life at a time.
