What part do we have in Christ’s vision for the Church here at Word of Light Community Church? What we, at this church, feel we have been called to do is discern the times we are living in; understand where we are falling short of His vision in this generation and this community; and address these challenges with the love, guidance and power of Christ in our hearts. The family is one of God’s most
fundamental building blocks for His work on this earth. Without the fortitude of the family, our mission will fail. It is our goal to strengthen family values, redefine the roles of husband, wife and children as God intended, and help those who have been hurt through Satan’s attacks on the family today. Jesus’ prayer for the church was to have unity, without which our mission will also fail. It is our goal to create a unity in this local fellowship as was illustrated in the New Testament. Where we intimately trust, confess, pray, support, and correct each other as believers are instructed. Church must be where the hurting feel confident that they may go for help and healing. Church must be a place of acceptance where we can reveal our weaknesses and expect love and support. The disciples of Christ must grow in spirit and in truth to truly be effective on our mission. It is our goal to create an atmosphere of faith and real worship; to grow the disciples of Christ into maturity through relevant and practical teachings that may be applied to daily living; and to address current issues of our world in light of God’s Word. Lastly, the majority of our society is filled with hurting people who look to all of the wrong things to find purpose. It is our ultimate goal to reach non-believers as Christ did. We want to be brazen in our message and humble in our attitudes. Reaching people by first showing that we genuinely care and offering Christ as the answer to their need or pain. Our Mission then, in summary, is for this church to strengthen and protect our families; to restore a loving unity and support within the body of Christ; to assist believers in their spiritual growth through true worship, and through relevant, practical study of the Word of God; and to reach a lost world with genuine care, teaching them true purpose for life.
