Vision 2003 - Developed in 1998

Following is a summary of the Mission, Vision, Core Values, Seven Step Strategy, Shepherding Plan, and Organizational Structure that were developed in 1998 for
implementation by 2003 …

Mission

 

To bring unbelievers to a saving relationship with Christ and mature them in the faith so that in all things Christ might have the preeminence.

Vision

 

To become a model Biblical community that through excellence in ministry and caring relationships will bring unbelievers to Christ, mature them in faith and equip them for service.

Core Values

 

1. We believe that lives are changed through the anointed teaching and preaching of God’s inspired and inerrant Word.

 

2. We believe that Biblical truth should be presented in a clear, culturally relevant and uncompromising manner.

 

3. We believe that prayer is foundational in the life of the believer and therefore should be central to our ministry.

 

4. We believe that regular spirit-led worship is essential in the life of a believer.

 

5. We believe that people are eternally lost without a relationship with Christ and that our church exists for the purpose of clearly communicating the Gospel.

 

6. We believe that life changing happens best in small groups.

 

7. We believe that a Biblically functioning community includes diversity, care, encouragement, and the application of truth.

 

8. We believe in a family-based approach to ministry that fully incorporates children and youth.

 

9. We believe that individuals are uniquely gifted and that each member of the body should minister primarily within his/her gift area.

 

10. We believe that stewardship of gifts, time, and money are the responsibility of every believer.

7 Step Strategy

 

1. Relationships – developing meaningful relationships with non-believers that cultivate the ground for sowing seeds of the gospel and haring a verbal witness.

 

2. Worship – a weekly time for the body of Christ Community Church to meet together in the presence of God to worship Him, hear and learn His Word, and share what He is doing in the lives and experience of the Holy Spirit moving among us.

 

3. Discovery Class – to initiate and assist the assimilation process through developing relationships, teaching of the Word, and providing information about the life and ministries of the church.

 

4. Small Groups – to connect people rationally within our church with the goal of brining the members of each group to full maturity in Christ and delivering care, truth and service to the body of Christ.

 

5. Institute – to teach, train, equip and prepare people “to offer your bodies as a living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.” (Romans 12:1)

 

6. Membership – members will be equipped in the Christian Faith through the education and practice of Biblical teaching, recognition of spiritual gifts and ministry to others.

 

7. Ministry Teams – to provide opportunities to deepen our commitment to God through acts of service.  We seek to serve God by utilizing the spiritual gifts and talents of each member of the Body of Christ, and by allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our priorities, resources, energy, and time.

Shepherding Plan (5 G’s)

 

1. Grace – the individual appropriation of the saving work of Christ and the ability to share that faith effectively with others. (Eph. 2:8-9)

 

2. Growth – the ongoing evidence of a changing life and pursuit of Christlikeness.  (2 Peter 3:18)

 

3. Groups – participation in the body of Christ and connection with others in significant relationships.  (Acts 2:46)

 

4. Gifts – serving Christ’s body according to spiritual giftedness and passion.  (Romans 12:6-9)

 

5. Good Stewardship – honoring God with one’s material resources and supporting the church using the Biblical precedent of the tithe as a goal to reach or exceed as God prospers.  (Phil. 4:11-19)
