Vision and Mission Statement
Acts
2:46-47 NIV:
“Everyday they continued to meet together…they broke bread
in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising
God and enjoying the favor of all the people.”
Vision
L.I.F.E. Groups at First Pentecostal Church are dynamic
places to grow and learn as members reach
out to one another as they reach up to God. Our
vision is three fold:
1.
GROW in relationship with God
2.
GROW in relationship to one another
3.
GROW in number and multiply into another small group
Mission
Why L.I.F.E. Groups?
1.
Care is given: Group members minister to the needs of the others in the
group in an atmosphere of love and fellowship.
2.
Discipling
takes place: Mature
L.I.F.E. group members demonstrate what it is to be a Christian inside
the Church building as well as outside the Church.
Less mature saints learn to live a Christian life on a daily
basis.
3. Fellowship is provided:
L.I.F.E. groups give the members a chance to experience genuine
community.
4.
Spiritual gifts are
exercised: In
L.I.F.E. groups, opportunities abound in which spiritual gifts can be
developed and exercised.
5.
Many points of entry
into the Body of Christ: Some
people will not come to a Church, even if invited.
L.I.F.E. groups offer new entry points into the Body of Christ
where those individuals can be ministered to.
6.
Leaders are developed: Each L.I.F.E. group has a leader that facilitates the group.
This gives more opportunities to experience the
fulfillment that comes from leading others to a deeper understanding
of Christ.
7.
Accountability is
provided: Members of
the group are accountable to one another as well as to the group as a
whole. Each member is
responsible for helping the group fulfill the vision.
8.
Christianity
is modeled in the home: Christianity
is brought into homes where the entire family can witness the workings
of Christ. Christian homes become a place of prayer, worship and Bible
study.
