The final part of our 3 part vision series, Vision – The Gospel Leads Us on in Faith
Passage: Acts (quite a lot of it really)
Speaker: John Cook
Our vision is to see the good news of Jesus go out to all peoples in the country with transforming power for the glory of God and the joy of all who will come to believe. Locally, we seek to achieve that by making/being disciples of Jesus, and by multiplying communities of disciples of Jesus on mission together (we call those Gospel Communities!). But the mission doesn’t end here, by merit of being a Church we are drawn into the age-long work of seeking to plant more Churches. Specifically, we seek to plant Gospel Churches in country areas.
Part 2 of our 3 part vision series, Vision – The Gospel Leads Us on in Faith
Passage: various passages
Speaker: John Cook
Our vision is to see the good news of Jesus go out to all peoples in the country with transforming power for the glory of God and the joy of all who will come to believe. But how does that work out in our local area and through this local Church? By the multiplying of disciples of Jesus, by the multiplying of Gospel Communities where disciples grow in authentic community on the mission, and by planting more Gospel Churches.
Part 1 of our 3 part vision series, Vision – The Gospel Leads Us on in Faith
Passage: Genesis 1:26-28; 2 Corinthians 3:18-4:6; various other passages
Speaker: John Cook
We are the people of the God who has a unified vision which he has worked toward throughout all of history: the vision that his glory would be displayed, known and enjoyed throughout creation. As Gospel Church unveils our new vision statement, there is perhaps no more critical question than this: is our vision formed by the vision of God? Is our mission informed by His mission, lived out in our context?
