Vision... "A
Relationship Centered Church"
We believe deepening relationships with
God and other Christian brothers/sisters is THE ESSENTIAL
element in fulfilling our mission of “Becoming Authentic
Disciples of Jesus Christ.” Disciples are made in
relationships. We strive that all we do promotes deeper
relationships with our Lord and each other.
Small
groups are at the center of our church
life. Currently 85% of our worshipping congregation is involved
in a discipleship group focused on four key qualities of
Growth, Caring, Service, and Outreach.
We hope our lives “orbit”
around the twin stars of Christian community — small
groups and corporate worship. We complement this small group/large
group rhythm with strategically focused short and long-term
programs that fulfill specific needs neither our small groups
nor worship can currently meet.
Beyond our own congregation, we want to
be a leader in Visalia in intentionally building relationships
with other Christian churches, breaking down barriers and
modeling a Kingdom of God mindset for Visalia.
