Westover Vision Path
God desires that every follower of Christ grow in grace and spiritual maturity. The Westover Church Vision Path - our Purpose, Process, Priorities and Passion - reflects the only response befitting God’s grace towards us; a life of complete commitment to Jesus Christ. It is a life of deep, personal relationship with God, maturing in God’s grace and genuine community with other Christ-followers.
Purpose - (Why we do what we do)
To develop mature followers of Jesus Christ...
Process - (How we accomplish our purpose)
...by creating relevant environments where people are encouraged and equipped to pursue three vital relationships:
• Intimacy with God;
• Community with believers; and
• Influence in the world.
Priorities - (Our core values)
• Biblical Authority
• Intimacy with God
• Grace-Filled Relationships
• Authentic Community
• Sharing Christ Globally
• The Next Generation
• Active Involvement
Passion - (Who we are becoming)
A grace-filled, biblically functioning community...
• Where authentic, God-honoring worship leads people to experience Christ;
• Where people are empowered and released to fulfill their God-given purpose in the world; and
• Where people share their experience with Christ in relationship with others
Practicing our Priorities
Our priorities help provide an accurate perspective of our identity and purpose as God's people. Also, our priorities help us plot our path to a life completely committed to Jesus Christ...the life of a maturing follower. In the next few years, we will focus on three key priorities:
• Next Generation, discipling our children into mature followers of Christ;
• Authentic Community, where deeper relationships are formed and nurtured; and
• Active Involvement, where we live out our call to purposeful personal ministry.
All while maintaining our dedication to our maturing priorities of Intimacy with God, the Bible, grace-filled relationships, and sharing Christ globally.
