OLD NORTH VISION  2005

Vision is the ability to understand the history, the present condition and the potential of the church, and to conceive a plan for action that will maximize our ministry potential.

Our Purpose Statement- Why we exist:   “To glorify God by Introducing Jesus Christ to all the people God calls us to serve so they will become His devoted followers.

Our Vision Statement: What we intend to do: “Reach a new generation for Jesus Christ as we live His LIFE through our own.”  

We envision God expanding His church to thousands who are genuinely worshipping Him and loving others in ways that reach a new generation.

We envision every adult member involved in a small group of people who connect with and care for each others’spiritual and emotional health in order to be a model for those who follow.

We envision every adult member giving of their time, treasure and talent to reach a new generation - therefore involved in ministry that touches those younger than themselves through culturally appropriate ways.

We envision every adult member adopting a lifestyle of evangelism that
prioritizes reaching a new generation.

We envision future facilities that will accommodate this growth and appeal to a new generation of believers.
