The Vision

Ezekiel the prophet saw, in a vision, a river that ran from the altar of God, under the threshold of the temple from the south side. He was led to investigate this river. He found that the further he went, the deeper and wider the river became. The banks of the river were lined with living things. The waters, themselves, teamed with life. (Ezekiel 47:1-9) The key to our vision is best stated in verse 9b of chapter 47 of the book that Ezekiel the priest wrote:

We believe that the Lord has given us others to relate to who share our vision and call. Together, as He leads and strengthens, we will take His love "to the uttermost parts of the earth" by loving those He sends to us. We believe in taking the Gospel to the world rather than waiting for the world to come to us.

We believe that soon He will return in glory. We believe that he is coming for a church (people) "without spot or wrinkle." A people washed in His blood, cleansed of their sin and set free by His love. We pray that, when He comes, He will find us occupied with His work.

Please pray that we will remain faithful to our vision and purpose and that we never "grow weary in well doing"

Thank you and may God bless you,
