Our Vision.We long to create an atmosphere where people don’t have to clean up before they come to a gathering. We will not focus on peoples’ habits and addictions, but strive to introduce them to Jesus and life in Him. We will commit to be a people who are free to live life as a gift of grace. Free to live because when we were dead in our sins He made us alive with His Son. Free to live because He delivered us from the pain of trying, but never succeeding to keep all the rules to win His approval. Free to live in faith, in hope and in love. Free to take risks. Free to fail. Free to create. Free to dream. Free to give generously. Free to dance and to leap, to laugh, and to cry. Our Values.We value RESPONSIVENESS. We believe that Jesus is our Head and the Holy Spirit our Counselor. We seek to be responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every area of the church’s life and ministry. As part of our respo nsiveness, we are committed to “give away our best” whether people or resources in order to expand God’s Kingdom. We value REALITY. We want every expression of ours, whether speech, music, architecture, or manner-to be non-hyped, natural, and reality based. We value RELEVANCE. We want to use music, terminology, and outreach methods that are in touch with the current culture of our community. We value RELATIONSHIPS. We don’t want just a collection of individuals or a large crowd. God is looking for a people, a community, who share a corporate value system. Following Jesus happens in the context o f relationships, not in isolation. We value RIGHTEOUSNESS. We seek completely truthful, consistent, and open relationships with God, with others, and with ourselves. Visit www.VineyardUSA.org to learn more about the Vineyard Movement. |
