FRUIT

3 Year Vision

“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit

and so prove to be my disciples."

John 15:8

Our vision is rooted in the command to bear fruit that glorifies our Heavenly Father, testifies that we are disciples of Jesus Christ, and honors the work of those who labor alongside us in the Kingdom. As a church, we are called to be a fruitful community that impacts lives, multiplies disciples, and transforms our surroundings for the glory of God.

Our vision for the next three years is to bear much fruit that glorifies God, transforms lives, and impacts our community. As we labor together, we trust that God will bring the growth and fulfillment of these goals. Let us embrace this exciting season with faith, determination, and a shared commitment to glorifying our Heavenly Father through the life-changing power of Christ Jesus.

What is our ”Why”?

1. Glorify Our Heavenly Father: Everything we do is to bring glory to God, reflecting His greatness and love in all aspects of our ministry.

2. Testify as Disciples of Jesus: By bearing much fruit, we live out our faith as true followers of Christ, showcasing His transforming power.

3. Honor Our Co-Workers: We labor together as one body, acknowledging the importance of each role in God’s work and celebrating the results of our combined efforts.

Glorify God, Testify as disciples of Jesus & Honor our co-workers

A History of "Working the Soil"

Our journey as a church has been marked by dedication and hard work, reflecting the biblical call to sow, water, and labor in God’s field.

"You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything."

Genesis 3:19 (GNT)

"So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building." - 1 Corinthians 3:7-9 (NIV)

This history has prepared us for the vision ahead, as we partner with God to cultivate a church that bears fruit abundantly in attendance, multiplication, community, and family.

1. Fruit of Attendance

Building a Growing and Vibrant Church

Our goal is to see lives transformed through salvation, baptism, and discipleship, with consistent growth in attendance as more people encounter Jesus.

4. Fruit of Multiplication
