Ministry Vision for 2012
Our mission statement is Experiencing God, Loving Each Other, Serving the World. For 2012 the emphasis will be on the first aspect of that statement, Experiencing God.
It is our conviction that in a time of economic upheaval, elevated uncertainty, and escalating fear, what we need most right now is to be continually experiencing God – his strengthening, his comfort, his life, his provision, his goodness, his generosity, his kindness. If we are experiencing God we will be far less fearful in troubling circumstances and far more confident of his perfect care for us.
Experiencing God is not just a slogan or a vision statement. It is a way of life commended to us by the Lord in Scripture. Paul reflects this in his prayer for the believers in Ephesus. “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully,” he tells them in Ephesians 3:19. “Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”
We are planning special events with guest speakers who will minister on the theme of experiencing God. These include Dawn Lundgren, a gifted and reliable prophetic voice, who will be with us in February. Joe Johnson, whose life message is anchored in the importance of touching the Father’s heart, will be with us the week after Easter for an Experiencing God conference.
Additionally, once a month we will have corporate gatherings specifically for the purpose of experiencing God together.
