CELL CHURCH VISION

As a united body of believers, we will win the lost by ESTABLISHING, DEVELOPING and RELEASING believers into their calling, purpose and ministry.

(Matthew 4:17; Matthew 10:6,7; Matthew 24:14)

ESTABLISHING believers in the faith. "Rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."

(Colossians 2:7)

DEVELOPING believers in their ministry and personal walk with the Lord. "And He gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

(Ephesians 4:11,12)

RELEASING believers to fulfill the ministry and purpose of God in their lives. "...But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."

(Daniel 11:32)

What will we look like as a church in seven years (2010)?

In seven years we will be a church that is continually fulfilling the strategy given to us in Isaiah 61.

To have 1,200 members impacting this region, nation and the world
To have 100 or more cell groups that form the nucleus of all church fellowship, care, growth and leadership development. The cell groups will be the catalyst by which souls will be added to the church daily (Acts 2:46,47)
To have 200 or more people activated in spiritual gifts and released to edify the Body of Believers in John 3:16 Ministries
To have 10 - 15 Ministry Teams that travel for and with Apostle Tim Kurtz in the establishing and strengthening of churches in the region, nation and world
To have a school that teaches kingdom and apostolic principles. It will be the training ground for releasing leaders for regional, national and world impact

By the end of the year (December 31, 2003), our goal is...

to win at least 30 people to the Lord Jesus Christ
to have 120 adults in Sunday morning worship services
