Our vision is in our name—we want to impact Blount County for Christ.
We dream of Introducing people to Jesus…
- by leading multitudes of unchurched people into a real relationship with Christ and expanding the Kingdom of God.
We dream of Merging people into our fellowship…
- by being a place of true biblical community where people connect with and relate to one another in authentic relationships motivated by their love for God and each other.
- through relational groups where people can be real with one another, laugh and cry with one another, support one another, provide accountability to one another, and encourage one another toward Christ-likeness.
We dream of Preparing people in God’s Word…
- by being a fellowship of believers growing toward spiritual maturity.
- by having a congregation who hungers for God’s Word because they hunger for God Himself.
- by developing members who think and act biblically and who know how to practically apply God’s truth to real life issues and needs.
- by utilizing every viable and effective means available to deliver the teachings of Scripture into the hearts of our people.
We dream of Activating people’s gifts in ministry…
- through equipping believers to discover their divine designs by helping them understand their personalities, experiences, and giftedness and to connect to a fulfilling and fruitful ministry.
We dream of Celebrating God’s presence…
- by being a church whose worship is both real and relevant.
- through worship that shows that Jesus is alive and that He is alive in us.
- through an evangelistically sensitive service that is energetic, thought-provoking, contagiously exciting, and moves the unchurched toward a relationship with Jesus.
- through a believer’s worship service where our fellowship gathers in a more intimate environment to experience God and develop a deeper knowledge of Him.
We dream of Transforming our community for God…
- by always serving as a lens through which Christ can be clearly seen.
- by being a church that strategically uses what is cultural in our setting to say what is timeless.
- by being the personification of a church who unwaveringly embraces the teachings of Scripture and communicates its relevancy to the contemporary generation.
- by being a church that characteristically pursues the best methods and implements any change in order to be effective at our calling.
- by being a place where real people, with real needs, find real change through the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
- by being a twenty-first century expression of the first century church.
- by sending missionary teams to help establish healthy churches in our community, our country, and around the world.
- by building a comprehensive campus where we minister to the total needs of the family – spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially, and intellectually.
