Zion's
Vision
At
Zion, our passion is to be a biblically functioning church therefore
we will base every action we take solely upon the Scriptures.
As a biblically functioning body, we see a church
that is focused on our God-given mission with Kingdom vision
and eternal purpose.
Go therefore...
We
see a church that
lives to continue the mission of Jesus Christ to seek and save
the spiritually lost. Our vision is to become a biblically functioning
church so that Christ’s redemptive purposes can be accomplished
in this world. We cannot fulfill Christ’s great commission alone
as diverse individuals, only as a unified body. Our goal together
is to further God’s kingdom in our midst but we also, in obedience
to Jesus’ great commission, labor to extend His Kingdom worldwide.
Our work is not over when we become a biblically functioning
church—we’re a biblically functioning church so that we can
accurately reflect Jesus to the world that they may be saved.
And make disciples...
We
see a church full
of consistently maturing believers who are wholly committed
to their own personal spiritual maturity as well as their family.
These mature Christians are grounded in the fundamental doctrines
of the faith and have chosen to do all they can to be separate
from the sin of the world. As warriors in a spiritual battle,
they are selfless in service and attitude, and are marked by
a genuine love for Christ and each other. They have taken personal
responsibility for spreading the message of the Gospel to those
they come in contact with and those around the world, cheerfully
and sacrificially giving of their time and resources for the
furtherance of the gospel. They realize their total and complete
dependence upon God and demonstrate this through daily fervent
prayers of faith. They daily study and meditate upon the Bible
and practically apply its message to their lives. They are passionate
about worshipping God in song
and in life, both individually and corporately. They
see the importance of the whole body of Christ and therefore
value the contribution of each team member. They are committed
to biblical fellowship, which includes authentically sharing
in each other’s lives, confession of sin, accountability, and
shared life experiences. With a tireless work ethic, they are
world changers whose hearts beat for the Kingdom of God and
His eternal purposes.
Of all nations...
We
see a church that
is passionate about the planting of churches both at home and
abroad. This includes the raising up and training of pastors
to be sent out into the world, as well as appropriating money
to be sent overseas for the purposes of establishing and supporting
churches.
This
is our vision. What do you see? Come and see what the Lord is
doing at Zion.
