Our Vision
Every church has a vision it works toward. If you walk into a church on Sunday morning and no one greets you, the vision of that church is to be a club where non-members are not welcome. If a church is always talking about giving donations or raising funds, the vision of that church is money. If a church is proud of the fact that attendance is increasing, the vision of that church is “bigger better”. In recent years we have discovered God’s vision for the people of Grace Covenant Church. It has nothing to do with being a club, money, or size. Here is our vision, the goal and value that guides us as a church:
"We will do whatever it takes to reach lost people and turn them into fully devoted followers of Christ."
“We will do whatever it takes” means we are willing and glad to use our God-given gifts and abilities to bring God’s Good News to our community and world. “…reach lost people” means we believe what the Bible says that a person without a relationship with God is missing out on the best that life can offer. “…turn them into fully devoted followers of Christ” means we are committed to, and invite others to join us, as we learn from God’s Son, Jesus Christ, how to live hope-filled and meaning-filled lives. If you’re curious as to where this vision came from read in the New Testament in the book of Matthew, chapter 9, beginning in verse 35 and reading through chapter 10, verse 1. |
