Revisiting Our Mission & Vision Statement

As we seek the Lord’s blessing of revival we must revisit our relationship to Him as well as our obedience to His Word.  Many seek a religious experience apart from accountability or real commitment. If we indeed are willing to seek God with all our hearts, then we must look to the heart of God to see where it is He is working and would have us to work. Our church years ago adopted the vision statement Touching Lives and Strengthening Families for Life in Christ.  That means that we are to Love God and man, Instruct them in God’s Word, Fellowship in Ministry and Evangelize our circle of influence. There are many passages of Scripture that we can look to in order to Scripturally validate the mission statement. If we are to honor God we must be willing to place Him first in our lives; that means above ourselves, our families, our work and our play. It isn't about us, but it is about the Lord. It is Christ who purchased us with His shed blood. It is Christ who arose in victory over sin, death and the grave. It is because of that event that we have been redeemed and justified before God and possess eternal life. It is fitting that we put aside whatever it is that comes between us and the real commitment that the cross should call for us to make in living our lives for Him and being active in fulfilling our mandate and vision purpose as a church and as individuals.
