Our Strategy
Create environments in which people are encouraged and
equipped to connect with God, each
other, and our world.
"Therefore, go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that
I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always,
to the
very end of the age." |
Matthew 28:19-20 |
As Jesus prepared to leave He left us with a mission. And His mission
is clear: Make disciples. We say it this way: Our mission is to lead people
into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
So what does this type of relationship look like?
In Jesus' prayer in John 17:23
"I will be in them and you will
be in Me so that they will be completely one. Then the
world will know that you sent Me and that you loved them
just as much as you loved Me."

John 17:23

Connecting with God: Intimacy with Our Father
"I will be in them..."
We call it connecting with God. God wants to connect with us. God wants
to be in relationship with us. God desires a people that are pursuing
Him with all their heart. Out of that connection is a heart that loves
others and the world. Our first objective is to connect with our Father.

Connecting with Others: Community Within
"...So that they will be completely one..."
We call it connecting with each other. If there should be a safe place
where we can connect with each other and build authentic relationships,
it should be the church. A place where we can commit to one another to
help each other, care for each other, support each other.
We are intentional about building relationships with a group of believers
in a way that allows us to experience accountability, a sense of belonging,
and care.

Connecting with Our World: Reaching Out
"...Then the world will know that you sent Me and that you loved
them just as much as you loved me."
We call it reaching out. We intentionally care for those outside our
spiritual family. We recognize we have been commissioned to transform
and lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our relationships extend beyond families of Connections. There is a world
out there that needs us. There are people that need to hear about our
Jesus. There are people that practical needs to be met. There are people
that are hungry, lonely, lost…people that need to know that we care
and Jesus loves them.
Connections makes it a priority to connect with our world. We look outside
the relationships that we have here and seek to help others.
We are committed to reaching out. We will commit to share our faith wherever
we may be. Our lives will be living examples of the love that Jesus has
for people. Our approach is to invest and invite. We first invest in the
lives of people. Basically, we care for people. We love people. We invest
in their life…and then invite them to see what Jesus has done for
them.
Our commitment is to remain cognizant of those around us…invest
in their lives…and invite. We simply allow the Father’s love
for people to flow from us to everyone around
"Pure and undefiled religion before
God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows
in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the
world."
