Our vision
…is to be a place and a ministry that becomes a relevant and ongoing catalyst of strength and transformation in the lives of its people, its community and its world. (Acts 1:8)
What does it mean?
One of the definitions of vision is
"the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be."
We want to be a “Place”
The "universal" church Jesus talked about in Luke 9 is made up of every person who has
put his/her trust in Him for eternal life. We're a part of something really big!
That "universal" church also has a smaller, "local" understanding and you hear of it every time someone says, “Lets go to Church.” Communities recognize a church building as a place where they can go to worship God and where they can go to “find” God.
We want to be a “Ministry”
Both the “universal church” and the “local church” has also been given specific instructions… a ministry. It has come to be known as the “Great Commission” and its found in Matthew 28:19ff. “All authority is given to me in heaven and earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
When we gather to worship and serve God as GccLife,
we want it to “mean” something and “do”something…
in this church, in our communities, at our jobs and in our schools.
How can we say "Jesus can make the difference" if He's not making a difference in us?
That’s the exciting vision we’re walking toward.
And you may be a part of that vision.
We invite you to come and explore that possibility.
