Vision & Core values
As a church it is our vision to expand the Kingdom of God on earth so that the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge and glory of God. In order to fulfill this global commission we have to think and act locally.
Based on the commandment to love God more than ourselves, the unity of all believers as well as the inward and outward working of the church is a big concern for us.
The following 4 core values are therefore of special concern to us and influence our ministry as a local church:
Reach people
Jesus came to find the lost, to heal the sick, to set free the captive and to encounter those who were suffering. His ministry on men resulted directly from His relationship and love with His father in heaven. As His church we do also see it as our commission to reach out for people with the love, the mercy and Kingdom of God.
Living Fellowship
There is life in fellowship and a lot of talents unfold there. Jesus himself set an example of what it means to live in perfect unity with His father in heaven. It is our goal to support every believer to develop a real and living relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Simultaneously we further the fellowship among each other and also with other churches because Jesus himself said "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I will be in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20)
Release Calling
God has a calling for each human, otherwise he would not have created them in His image. A strong concern of our ministry is to help each person to grow into their calling. Everybody carries valuable talents and treasures in him that need to be supported and through which God wants to glorify Himself on earth.
Change Society
Jesus calls Christians the "light of the world" by which the world should orientate and find the way to God. That's why we as a church do not want to be concerned about ourselves only but we believe that especially in difficult times there is a big calling on the church of Christ. So we want to take the glory and the Kingdom of God to where we live, where we work, study or whatever. His Kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
