Vision: Fruit............What we hope to see in the future
* Realize Reality Respond
--> Helping believers become followers by realizing the reality of God, the world's needs, thus challenging them to respond.
Mission: How............ will we accomplish that change
* Communicate stories of our active God and provide a platform for faith in action.
--> Communicating a three fold message that the God of the bible is the God of today, the world has critical needs, and as believers were called to be a part.
So... after a looooong morning this is what we came up with. There are two for each statement, the first is concise (short) and the last more explanative. We really would love feedback on this, suggestions, comments, changes, whether you like or don't like where we are going with this.

Hey guys
Loved the piece about "believers become followers" - that is right on. I think that really shows that we're reaching out to those who 'believe' but have yet to choose to WALK in obedience (as opposed to reaching those who do not yet believe).
The 3-fold goals are also right on. They are seperate enough to be focused on individually, in both teaching and ministry, but connected enough so as to all be included and 'lumped' under the heading of "awaken".
ROCK ON!! Until the world wakes up or Christ comes back...whichever its first...

I LOVE IT! Seriously, I think it's to the point and it sums up all that we have been trying to put into words for a long time now! Nice job guys!
I really like the shortened forms of the vision/mission because I think it will be easier for people to remember and pass on. And I have to agree with Lake above "believers become followers" - very nice. I think it would compel people to realize they want more from their walk with God than just church.
Keep on keepin' on!
