Corporate
Vision
We
envision a place of ministry where those who are distressed, those
in debt and those who are discontent with life can come and find
help and hope in discovering God's purpose and plan for their
lives. It is a dream of seeing people become uncommon Champions
for Christ. This vision shall be accomplished by
identifying, edifying, and equipping people through the five purposes
of the church.
-
Evangelism-
We
envision passionate believers, whose lives have gotten better
because of the blessings and benefits of God, reaching out to
hundreds of unchurched people in the greater Hickory area with God's
love and power for the purpose of winning and reconnecting them to
the Kingdom of God. We see community outreach events,
friendship evangelism, servant evangelism, invitational evangelism,
and power evangelism being the methods of soul winning and building
the crowd for Christ.
-
Worship-
We
envision a group of people, of all ages, who have a
heart for praise and worship, magnifying
God to the crowd (those
who attend the services) through
music, drama, creative arts, audio-visual media
and other forms of contemporary worship and leading the people to
experience the presence and power of God during our services of celebration.
-
Fellowship-
Our
vision is a caring church environment where significant
relationships are built and people commit to move from the crowd into
the congregation (membership) and become a dedicated body of
believers with a determination to fulfill our divine destiny.
We see members belonging, growing, serving, and sharing together
through congregational care, L.I.F.E. Groups, special social events,
and recreational activities.
-
Discipleship-
Our
vision is a place where members move from membership to
maturity. We see single and married people being discipled as
Citizens of the Kingdom of God in faith,
family, finances and a fantastic future in
God through Bible study, prayer, spiritual and
social solutions for singles, marriage mentoring, parenting life
skills, and financial management training. We see
a creative children/youth ministry attracting children
of all ages and anointed, gifted teachers helping parents build
Biblical-based beliefs and values in their children and youth;
preparing them to make a difference in their generation and become
the church of tomorrow. We see a body of believers passionately
modeling the life of Jesus Christ through effective Kingdom Living.
-
Ministry-
Our
vision is maturing members being transformed into mission-minded
ministers. We see maturing members being equipped to discern
and discover their personality, potential, gifts, talents, strengths,
and abilities for the Marketplace and for the Ministry so they can
fulfill their purpose in life. We see maturing members being educated
and equipped to discover and delight in their work of ministry they
are called to fulfill in the Marketplace through employee,
management, leadership and business training. We see maturing members
being equipped to discover, develop and be deployed to accomplish
their divine assignment in the Ministry of the Church through a Bible
School, a Helps Ministry, public speaking, communication classes,
ministerial licensing and church leadership training.
The
Ambassador Center
We
envision all of this being fulfilled at the new "Ambassador Center", located
on at least 20 acres of beautifully landscaped
property, complete with:
