Many churches have vision and mission statements—but are they biblical? In this discussion, we unpack the purpose behind church vision and mission and how they align with God’s greater plan. Looking at examples from Scripture—Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Himself—we explore how God gives His people a vision that’s bigger than themselves and a mission they can faithfully follow.
At Together Church, our vision is to develop people who radically impact the world for Jesus Christ—a task only God can accomplish. Our mission? To create relational environments where disciples of Jesus are made. But what does that look like in real life? How can we stay committed to discipleship even when it gets tough? Let’s dive in.
