Our Vision to Build 3 Alters
WORSHIP & PRAYER
We believe that God has called us to build an altar of prayer and worship in the region to glorify Jesus, reach the lost and shift the atmosphere over Orange County. We recognize that we are not the only community called to do this and desire to see gatherings of people from across the Body of Christ to worship. As believers we are all called to be priests unto God. Raising up people who carry the heart of priests and not performers will have an incredible impact on the kind of worship and prayer that we bring to God.
FAMILY
We also believe that a core part of Family Church's calling is to equip families, leaders, Pastors and businesses to grow more spiritual family. This is where everyone can behold, belong and believe together. Family is God's vehicle for multiplication and growth. We need more healthy families and spiritual families to be multiplied across the region. We are praying and believing for a spiritual family to be accessible to every neighborhood and business in Orange County and beyond!
OUTREACH
Finally we believe that the Church is meant to live outdoors! We were not created to be confined to a building or even homes. We are meant to come into connection with Jesus and His family and then go out to reach the world. We are called to be "In and Out" leaders. This phrase is used in the Old and New Testament to speak about leadership. We come in to pasture and go out to extend the Kingdom of God. We need to do both!
Our Vision for a Building
We are praying for a "Jesus Center" to pursue all of these things. A space to equip people, to build family, to gather for worship and prayer, and to reach the lost.
We are putting this last because so often the building has become one of the pinnacle markers of successful ministry. We do not believe that is true. The Church is defined by the people and not the space that they occupy. We get to be the church in our homes, businesses and every place that we gather in Jesus name (heart/character).
As we have pursued these goals, we have found that it is still helpful to have a larger space to come together to both celebrate and equip. The goal is to gather to send out! We have done much of this in homes, and will continue to do so, but it is hard on neighbors and hosts to gather larger numbers of people on a continuous basis. So having a gathering spot for equipping in the region would be incredibly helpful. Our desire is that this space would be used by multiple church families to help build up the body and reach the region. There are many Church families but only one Church!
Second, we believe that God wants to reach the lost through the gathering space that we occupy. We would love to start a coffee shop to create a space for greater community and outreach. We are praying for a space next to where young people gather to reach out to them. We would love to do things like free coffee times in order to grow relationships and give a taste of God's wonderful Kingdom.
Finally, we desire to have a location for worship and prayer gatherings throughout the week. We believe that God desires to be ministered to by His people and that prayer really does change things. A worshiping and praying church will change the world! We need more times of gathering around Jesus and His presence. As we learn to dial down and get rid of the distractions, God is desiring to give to us His heart for the world that He made. Again, we want this for the whole church and not just our church family.
