Values and Visions

I have listed below some values and visions that I feel like God has been placing on my heart for a new church plant work.

 

Every Nation Community Church

Every Nation for All the Nations- Every Nation to all the Nations – Every Nation praying for the nations.

A multi-ethnic church that is intentional and strategic in reaching every nation in our city with the gospel and discipling these nations to reach all the nations.

A church plants that brings together the rich and poor, old and young, charismatic and conservative and brown, black and white person.

A church where the nations worship on Sunday and scatter to minister during the week, including a weekly Commission Group meeting where the church meets in small groups to serve each other and serve the community.

A church where teaching the Bible verse by verse and application of the Bible don’t have to be an either or.

A church where all Christians are equipped to serve, not just a few serving those who are supposed to be equipped.

A church where families can worship and serve together, side by side, in the worship service and in the community.

A church that values the Spirit of God teaching and empowering the application of the Word of God so we can love and serve like the Son of God did.

A church where discipleship is learned by modeling and done by all people for all the people.

 

A church whose DNA is to reproduce churches, and so everything is centered around discipling, training and sending leaders to plant more churches...

Values of ENC:

Multi – Ethnic – We want to be a place for every color to exist in a church, providing one voice to God as one body.

Adoption and fostering children – We will be a church that not only provides a welcome home for those who have adopted and those seeking to adopt, but also will be a focus on being a church that intentionally strives to care for the widow and the orphans.

Families of Disabled Children – We want to be a place where mentally and physically disabled children have a church home and a place that is friendly

Deaf Ministry – We seek to reach out to the deaf community in the service and during the week.

Missionaries – We want to reach the mission field that exists in our backyard as well as the mission field that exists throughout the world. Every leader will be involved in missions exposure, visiting the

Family Empowered ministry – Where there will be Sunday school and youth ministries, we will also be building up the family to minister to the children.

College students – We believe that college students are a strategic use of resources and times and will be integrated as part of the church life.
