The vision statement directs our church to fulfill it's intended goal. It puts "legs" on our mission statement, describing how the mission statement will be put into action and achieved.

 

MISSION:

 

To bring people to Jesus and membership in His family, develop them to Christ-like maturity and equip them for their ministry in the church and life mission in the world in order to magnify God's name.

 

VISION:

It is the dream of a place where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, and encouragement.

 

It is the dream of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the hundreds of thousands of residents in the Indianapolis area.

 

It is the dream of welcoming thousands of members into the fellowship of our church family—loving, learning, laughing, and living in harmony together.

 

It is the dream of developing people to spiritual maturity through Bible studies, small groups, seminars, and retreats.

 

It is the dream of equipping every believer for a significant ministry by helping them discover the gifts and talents God has given them.

 

It is the dream of sending out hundreds of career missionaries and church workers all around the world, and empowering every member for a personal life mission in the world. It is the dream of sending our members by the thousands on short-term mission projects to every continent.

 

It is the dream of at least fifty acres of land, on which will be built a regional church for Central Indiana. Beautiful, yet simple, facilities, including a worship center seating thousands, a counseling and prayer center, classrooms for Bible studies and training lay ministers, and a recreation area will be set in a peaceful, inspiring, garden landscape. All of this will be designed to minister to the total person—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially.
