Vision Sunday
LGC Vision Statement: We are a regional church sharing the life-giving message of Jesus with West Georgia and the world.
Define what it means to be a “regional church”
Acts 1:8 – But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Mark 16:15 & 20— And then He told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone… and they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following…
Regional Churches…
1. See the great commission as a commandment
(In other words we know the church is the hope of the world and we know that this gospel must be preached everywhere without compromise)
2. Express His personality (Pastor Tony has been explaining to us what it means to take the LORD’s name in vain-we know we represent Christ and we do it with passion) Exhibit His Power (the power that works in us to change us into His image, the power for the miraculous and the power to love one another) & Extend His Kingdom (this is why we plant churches locally, nationally & around the world)
3. Regional churches grow in a healthy & consistent way (Mark 4)
Our Core Values: (Healthy)
Life-giving, Christ-Centered, Spirit-Empowered, Team Ministry, Ministry of Excellence, Have Fun
4. Regional churches avoid “small church mentality”
Through connecting & serving
1 Corinthians 12:27—You are the Body of Christ and members in particular.
