Vision Statement
Walk with God: Our vision is to see Christians walk with God so intimately that they can hear Him when He speaks and are so dedicated that they will obey Him when He commands.
Go with God: Our vision is to see Christians go in obedience to all the nations, proclaiming the Gospel and making disciples for Jesus Christ.
Worship God: Our vision is to see Christians of all nations worship God in unity so that Revelation 7:9-10 becomes reality.
"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and people and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, 'Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.'" Rev. 7:9-10
