The Vision
As we grow larger, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As we add more staff, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As our church gets older, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As we multiply churches, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As we start new ventures, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As Lowell gets bigger and bigger, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As life gets more virtual and digital, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
As our culture gets more isolated and disconnected, we don’t want to lose our family feel.
“We want our homes to keep feeling like family.
We want our staff to keep feeling like family.
We want our church to keep feeling like family.
We want our community to keep feeling like family.”
With this four-fold heartbeat, we want to pursue hand-on initiatives that will be drivers for our vision to become real, leading to results that make us look more like Jesus and our community more like the Kingdom of God…
