OUR VISION

A Church that knows and loves God...
We will strive to be a church where people are regularly and joyfully spending time knowing and obeying God. We are a people who individually and as a church spend time reading, studying and applying the Bible to our lives. We want the North Marion area to see and receive the life-changing message of Jesus and His Word.

A Church that worships God…
We will strive to be a church where people understand true worship happens on all days of the week. As we come together we will strive for authentic and joyful worship that includes music, prayer, the Word, multi-media, testimony, etc. with the goal of showing God how much we praise and love Him for who He is and what He has done for us.

A Church that prays…
We will strive to be a church where people not only say that they pray but where people actually pray. We want to be a church where we regularly pray on our own, in the services, in our Home Groups, and with “seasons of prayer”. We want to be a church where every person in our church is prayed for weekly through our Intercessor ministry. Prayer is not a program but is a part of everything we do.

A Church that has loving relationships...
We will strive to be a church where people are loving, caring and involved in each others lives. We will do this through personal friendships, Home Groups and groups of spiritual growth and accountability.

A Church that reaches out to un-churched people…
We will strive to be a church where we are loving others in practical ways. When people think of our church they will see a church that loves others by caring for their needs, a church involved in and serving their community in lots of creative ways. We will be a people who build friendships with our family, neighbors, co-workers, and community friends so that they will see how a follower of Christ lives and desire the hope and joy in us. We will strive to lead our friends and relatives t o a personal and saving faith in our Savior Jesus Christ.

A Church where everyone is serving…
We will strive to be a church were people are discovering and using their God given talents and gifts to serve in the church and their community. We will be a church that trains and equips people to become leaders through our Home Groups, one on one or cluster mentoring , and using the Bethany Training Center.

A Church that is reaching the world with the Gospel…
We will strive to be a church where we are involved in various ministries around the world. Every person will be involved by praying, giving and going. We want to be a church that sends out teams of missionaries to various parts of the world with the encouragement and prayer for God to call full-time missionaries/pastors from our church. With God’s help we will strive to help plant more healthy churches in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the world.
