Missional Community: vision.mission.values

I want to remind you why we call this group of people a “Missional community.” First, we must remember that God has called many of the people in this community to a specific mission. That is to establish a Gospel Centered, Missional church in our community that will reproduce other churches. I want to take a few minutes and rehears our vision /mission/values,identities.

Our Vision “Love One. Love All” reflects our commitment to live out Jesus’ Commands. Therefore we are a community with a mission to collectively live out the vision that Jesus gave his disciples to obey the Greatest Commandments in all the scripture. (Mt 22:38, Lk 10:25-27). Love One. Love All.- Our Vision. This is first and foremost importance for Imago Dei. It’s a matter of the heart, that every believer must grow in a vital relationship with Jesus and a deep love for all the people in our city. We can’t live out the Great Commission with out first living out the Great Commandments.

Our Mission “Equip & Establish” reflects our commitment to live out Jesus’ Commission, to make disciples of every nation. We must therefore work now as a community to equip a team of like minded leaders that will work to establish a church that will in turn plant other churches in our city and other cities around the world. (Mt 28:19, Eph 4:12).

Our Values/Identities We will consistently work to explore the vision/mission and values/ identities of the imago dei. This Sunday I want to discuss how we are currently growing in our identities/values (Worship/Worshiper, Fellowship/Family, Mission/Missionary) and have a time to discuss some next steps as well.


This Sundays Discussion:
How are we growing in worship or as worshippers of Jesus?
How are we growing in mission or as a missionaries?
How are we growing in fellowship or as a family?

Lastly I want to open it up for discussion as to how we might grow in each of these areas.

Look forward to seeing you there,
