Vision Statement

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.

Mission Statement

To lead saved and unsaved people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Core Values

Christ Centered  
We believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and commit to Him being central in all we are and do. Col. 1:15-20; Phil. 2:9-11; Jn. 14:6. 

Biblical Authority  
We believe the Bible to be the Holy Word of God, with the power, authority, and relevance to change our lives. We therefore commit ourselves to studying it, applying it to our lives in all things. II Tim. 3:15-16; Heb. 4:12; Rom.10:17.

Wholehearted Worship  
We believe we are called to worship God through Jesus Christ with all of our hearts and in all of life. We commit to this lifestyle of worship and commit to gathering together as a Body of believers to corporately worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Ps. 95:6-7; Ps. 150; Luke 10:27; Eph. 5:19-20; Jn. 4:23-24; Rom. 12:1.

Gift-Based Service  
We believe that every believer is a minister who has been given gifts to be discovered, developed and deployed, and we challenge each other to use our gifts in ministry with excellence and creativity. We challenge each church ministry to provide and expand opportunities to use people’s gifts in service to Christ. Rom. 12:6-8; I Cor.12:7-11; Eph. 2:10; Eph. 4:11-13; Jas. 2:26; I Pet. 2:9; I Pet. 4:10. 

Spiritual Growth 
We believe every believer should commit to a lifestyle of deepening prayer, consistent growth, and Spirit-led change, with honest accountability, and will exhort each believer to grow to his/her next step of maturity in Christ. Acts 2:44-47; I Cor.11:1; Eph. 5:1-2; Phil. 3:8-14; Col. 2:6-7; Jas. 1:2-4; I Pet. 3:15; II Pet. 1:5-8.

Caring Relationships  
We believe in the value of all people and desire to care for everyone God brings to us. We believe this is accomplished through healthy, godly, caring, loving relationships and commit ourselves to maintaining these kinds of relationships in the unity of the Spirit. Prov. 19:11; Prov. 20:3; Mt. 5:7, 9; Mt. 5:23-24; Mt. 18:15-17; Mark 12:31; Lk. 6:31; Lk. 6:45; Jn. 15:17; Rom. 16:17-18; I Cor. 5:11; I Cor. 12:12-13 – see also vv. 14-26; Gal. 5:19-21; Gal. 6:1-2; Eph. 4:31-32; Eph. 5:1-2; Phil. 2:3-4; Phil. 4:8; Col. 3:12-15; I Tim. 5:19-20; Titus 3:10; I Pet. 2:1; I Pet. 3:8; I Pet. 4:8; I Jn. 3:11; I Jn. 4:7-8; I Jn. 4:21.

Kingdom Expansion
We believe in and commit ourselves to going into the world and making disciples, beginning at home and extending throughout the world. Mt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Rom. 16:25-27.

DEVELOPING GODLY LEADERS
We believe in and commit ourselves to, identifying and training emerging leaders in each generation who are fully committed to Christ and who will build and guide His church through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. (By means of biblical example, Moses did this with Joshua; Christ did it with His disciples; Paul did it with Aristarchus, Barnabas, Epaphrus, John Mark, Luke, Silas, Timothy, Titus, Tychicus, Silas, and others.) I Cor. 3:10-14; II Tim 2:2.
