"Living and presenting God's
grace through our gifts in groups, resulting in growth and
good stewardship."
It is said, “Where the is no
vision, the people perish.” Helen Keller said, “It is a
terrible thing to see and have no vision.”
The vision
behind starting Advent Church is to change the world with
the life giving power of God one person at a time. We know
this is impossible without the active involvement of our
powerful Savior, Jesus Christ. That is very freeing. If it
was dependent upon us alone - we would not only fail but
give up quickly.
The vision of Advent Church is as follows:
to BRING: Drawing people to Christ
- by Evangelistic Worship
- by Small Group Ministries
to EQUIP:
Equipping people
with ministry skills that fits how God has gifted them.
- by leadership training
- by gift assessment
- by a strong encouragement to be involved
to BUILD:
Growing people to
spiritual maturity
- by caring ministries
- by discipleship
- by prayer ministries
to SEND:
Releasing
servant-leaders in to the community and the world.
- by ministry in our community
- by mission trips near and far
- by compassion ministries that God bring our
way
