Big Idea: Become the City you Seek

Problem: We seek the city of heaven on earth without realizing we are meant to become it

Solution: By Faith in Christ, we rise up as shining oaks, equipped to build and become the city we seek

Vision: Together, become a church so deeply rooted in Christ that, together, we become a visible foretaste of heaven on earth—a community where weary people find joy, captives find freedom, broken hearts are healed, and our city sees what life with God truly looks like.

Big Idea: Hope fuels present endurance and joy.

Problem: Joy and strength are lost when hope is tied to circumstances.

Solution: Hope in Christ’s promised return offers us joy and strength through all trials.

Vision: Become people who endure suffering with visible joy because our lives are anchored to the future

Christ has promised.

Steps To Change: Anchor your hope in Christ’s return; endure suffering with that hope; and find joy not in

your circumstances, but in Christ and the future joy He has promised.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us

to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance

that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being

guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now

for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of

your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in

praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him.

Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with

glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:3-9

Vision: A church so loyal to the ascended King that heaven quietly invades the world through ordinary

lives.
