Our dream is big because our God is big. Our dream is not exaggerated because our God cannot be exaggerated. Our dream is possible because with our God nothing is impossible.

​

We dream of seeing every lost soul being found — that people of every age and every generation and every race would experience the perfect love of our Heavenly Father and the abundant life that is found in Christ.  We dream of the baptismal waters stirring every week with the testimony of a sinner who has been washed clean and a church family that loves and disciples them for the rest of their lives.

​

We dream of becoming a refuge for those who have been wounded, damaged, and discarded. We want to show them the same perfect love, patience, and understanding that our Heavenly Father has shown us. We want to connect them to a true family of believers that will pray for them, live life with them, and bear their burdens. Our dream sees wounded lives being healed, dead hearts being made new, and helping every person uncover God’s image in them.

​

We dream of equipping all believers to enjoy an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to enable each believer to discover God’s personal design for them and provide environments and avenues for them to express, develop, and multiply those gifts for the kingdom of God. We dream of them delighting in spiritual disciplines and thriving accountable relationships so that each person will grow in maturity and godliness.

​

We dream of raising up a generation of worshippers who worship both in spirit and in truth. They will not worship God with their lips and ignore him with their lives.  They will not condemn their generation or shame their God with silence.  They will be living sacrifices, giving themselves, in word and action, as an offering of worship to the slain Lamb who is worthy.

​

We dream of investing the word of God into the hearts of all peoples and seeing them reinvest that Truth into the lives of everyone they know. We dream of seeing all schools, work places, and homes becoming teaching centers for the word of God and temples of praise by the courageous witness of God’s people.

​

We dream of parents discipling their children, fathers leading their homes and churches, and families reaching other families. We dream of an intergenerational church family that demonstrates the Gospel’s obstacle-obliterating power by the way each person loves and invests in one another.  We dream of influencing not just the current generation, but every generation that follows. We will take responsibility for our church and our community for such a time as this.

​

We dream of God, by his grace, raising up pastors, missionaries, and leaders from within our fellowship. We dream of being a church family that God uses to shake the nations from every corner of Calhoun and Cleburne Counties to the very edges of creation. We dream of sending out reckless disciples who live as willing martyrs and work as joyful slaves to the calling of God.

Our dream is our expected and hoped for reality. It is the focus of our prayers and the craving of our souls. Our dream is too big for us.  But, together with God, it can be realized.

​

May our dream be God’s will, and may God’s will be greater than our dream.
