MY VISION

The church I see God using me to build is large in number, diverse in character and contemporary in structure.
- A dynamic, oddball postmodern church made up of younger to middle aged outcasts and misfits.
- Informal hard rock worship, time conscious, fast paced
- Casual dress
- Cell groups made up of help groups (i.e. AA, NA, weight loss, anger management, etc)
- People from all walks of life who have been touched with the love and grace of God and have been snatched from the fire. People who in all likelihood would never come into a regular church building for regular worship. People who for the most part have disdain for the modern church because of its irrelevance to their lives.
- Preaching to a group of people in a modern style: questions and comments from the audience as Jesus did. Interactive preaching in a conversational style. Preaching from need and not from notes.
- Class situation on Sunday nights with mostly discussion groups held around the city, taught by people who are carefully prepared beforehand and are trusted leaders. Wide variety of classes.
- Shepherding groups led by elders.
- A coffeehouse ministry with good coffee as a cornerstone ministry. Held on Friday and Saturday nights with bands and light snacks.
- A Thursday night worship service.
- Worship installations up all the time with spiritual resources and personal space available at all times.
- The local church building as an open-doored hangout. Sofas, visuals, newspapers, books, food, drink and plenty of places to plug in your laptop.
- Opening hours 10am to midnight.
- A place to work, rest and pray.
- The community as a network, not a spoked wheel dependent on a few at the center.
- A healing community
- Technologically current, relevant communication of clear absolutes with Bible based miracle solutions
- Premium child care during the worship times
- Community involvement, including food for anyone who needs it.
