The Point: Defined

Last night I shared about The Point's vision and mission. Below is a bullet point snapshot of who we are going to be as a church.

Vision and Mission – Our vision is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus.

Strategy (How we are going to accomplish our mission) - By creating relevant environments where people are encouraged, equipped and empowered to pursue intimacy with God, community with insiders and influence with outsiders.

Three environments:

· Gathering: A safe and relevant environment where people can explore and discover what following Jesus is all about. Our word for this is Connect.

· Small groups: I believe life change happens in the context of small groups that pray, study Scripture and do life together. Our word for this is Grow.

· Service – My passion is that we are a church of people who serve in the church (to help the church be what it needs to be) and in the community (so that Spartanburg is a better place to live). Our word for this is Serve.
