Vision Mission Purpose

It's been a while since I posted, because I've been on "Vacation Mode".  But it's time again to get busy, planning and preparing for our church plant and our move to Aldergrove!

Last night Taralyn and I hammered out some strategy stuff.  Yeah, I said the "s" word.  It was a great exercise.  The great thing about strategy is that it gives a direction, shows what tasks are important, directs the path.  In that, I think it's obvious that God works through our strategies.  And it's also important to have Bible- and Spirit-directed strategies.

Here are some things we talked about last night...

Our Mission/Purpose/Vision: 

To bring the Gospel to Aldergrove through planting a church to see transformation in peoples lives and in the community.

OK it's not pretty yet.  But we're still working on it, and it gives us a direction, somewhere to go.

Here are our core values:

- the Gospel proclaimed and taught

- relationships with unbelievers

- ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit

- extravagant, authentic, and responsive worship

- practical and intentional involvement in our community

- intentional community/friendship, involvement in one another's lives

- discipleship and mentoring

Again, it's a working document and a document in the works.  But we're making strides, large strides, towards building the DNA we pray will exist into and beyond our launch, on April 4.

Please keep praying for Access Church In Aldergrove, and for the Eddy Family!
