Vision

Spiritual Vitality
We envision a healthy congregation of believers of all ages, whose personal relationship with God results in a spiritual vitality that is characterized by daily obedience, humble dependence, and a servant’s heart. We see a church that will strive to maintain the unity of the Spirit while seeking to disciple each generation in a way that is relevant to that generation. We see a church that will be known by what it stands for, rather than what it stands against, and will not be afraid to be unique in this regard.

Prayer
We envision a church committed to the sacred activity of prayer.
We see a church that is committed to praying at the congregational, small group and personal levels; a church that makes no decision and will engage in no ministry without first committing it to God in prayer.

Worship
We envision vibrant worship that engages the mind, spirit and emotions, enabling people to respond to God. We will design culturally relevant services to engage people at different levels in their life’s journey. We intend to pursue excellence in proclaiming the Word of God through music, the creative arts, and technology to draw believers closer to God’s throne.

We envision a church that provides regular, consistent opportunities for God’s Word to be preached. We see a church that holds every man who stands in its pulpit in the highest regard and to the highest standards in handling Holy Scripture.

Fellowship
We envision a church where everyone who God brings to its doors are welcomed and loved as people created in His image. We see a church community characterized by love, peace, and acceptance where hurting people can find refuge and healing, and where all may grow in Christ. We desire to practice encouragement, compassion, mentoring, fellowship, and loving accountability as we grow together.

Community Impact
We envision a church that seeks to demonstrate its faith in Christ through action. We see a church that will sponsor and personally involve its people in a wide variety of activities that will help the hurting people of the Coulee Region and allow them to see the love of God in the hands of people.

Discipleship
We envision a church where everyone will have an opportunity to easily embark on a well-defined path to spiritual maturity. We see a church where mature believers in Jesus Christ walk alongside new believers, mentoring them along the way to maturity in Christ, and reproducing the same in years to come. We envision a church where being involved in a small group is nurtured throughout.

Church Ministries
We envision a church with multiple relevant and highly effective ministries that contribute to our mission and vision and will exalt Jesus Christ. We are committed to the highest quality in each facet of ministry. We envision lay-led ministry, as the body serves Christ in the church and in the community. We envision equipping people of all ages for gift-based ministry deployment. We are also committed to regular evaluation and spirit led experimentation, risk-taking, innovation, and change.

Leadership
We envision a congregation with a high commitment to the identification, deployment, and care of those who are called to leadership. We will be a church who is committed to developing leaders in all generations and at all levels of ministry.

Outreach
We envision a church that places a high emphasis on the proclamation of the Gospel and introducing people to Jesus Christ throughout the Coulee Region and around the world. We will aim our church’s staffing, budgets and personal priorities, in the direction of the harvest. We envision impacting our world by being a sending church in both long- and short-term missions as well as providing targeted outreach events for people of all ages. We envision believers of all generations being equipped and encouraged to share their personal faith in Christ and challenged to first hand experience in the mission field. We will be committed to the spread of the Gospel by supporting missionaries through generous, sacrificial giving.

Staff
We envision a highly specialized, Purpose Driven staff designed to meet the demands of multiple ministries and to equip and empower hundreds of volunteers for ministry deployment. We see a staff that is passionate in reaching the mission and vision of the church, a staff functioning synergistically, collaborating as a unified team, mutually supporting and caring for one another and for the church.

Regional Resource
We envision a church that provides regional leadership and ministry. We see a church that is committed to serving beyond the greater Coulee Region, providing resources and training to churches and Para-church organizations in the tri-state area.

Facilities
We envision a multi-purpose facility that is flexible, open and inviting, able to support multiple ministries during the week. We envision a state-of-the-art facility seating 850 - 1,200 in worship, and the circulation, fellowship, education, office and other space necessary to fully support this size worship facility. This facility will also be designed to foster the ability to host events that are regional in nature, ministering to the family of God and those seeking Him, as well as host events that are specifically designed to spread the Good News. We will be committed to always having an empty seat for anyone who wants to find Christ.
