Ministries
While Jesus is our strong and certain foundation, spiritual leaders are being called upon to work towards 100% church vitality and enable congregations to thrive.
A vital church will
- see and respect all people;
- deepen discipleship;
- live and love like Jesus; and
- multiply and grow their impact.
You will notice these four markers of vitality aren't about church size, money, number of programs and the latest technology.
It’s about love. We are loved by God and are living out that love in ways that create vitality and abundant life.
Bridging the Gap
