Vision: What do we want to see happen as we live out our mission?
NEW HEARTS- The gospel shapes how we believe. As we call people to an authentic relationship with Christ, we expect to see hearts transformed by the power of the gospel of grace. "26And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules." (Ezekiel 36:26-27)
NEW MINDS- The gospel shapes how we think. As we seek to build a community of hope, healing, joy, and worship, we expect to see minds transformed as God grows us in grace and shapes us more and more into His image. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…" (Romans 12:2)
NEW HANDS- The gospel shapes how we serve. As we send laborers into Lakeland and the world, we expect to see hands transformed as we seek to love our neighbor as ourselves. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45)
