who embrace our 3S focus areas (SSS) of Sundays, Small Groups,
and Service.
2. Life on Life Connection: Have 75% membership involvement in
a small group.
3. Missions and Outreach: For Missions – Strengthen, broaden
and deepen our partnerships with the gospel missionaries and
organizations we support locally, nationally and globally.
This entails improving communication between our missionaries
and COR as well as increasing member involvement in service opportunities.
For Outreach – Cultivating a conviction within our church to reach the
lost in our community and neighborhoods, equipping a team of volunteers
for the work of evangelism and discipleship, and providing ongoing
opportunities for evangelism and outreach (trainings, outreach events, etc.)
4. Compassionate care: Elders and Deacons engaged in Shepherding and
Serving while equipping the flock to extend mercy and care in our
congregation, community and beyond.
5. Empowering Leadership: Have a healthy rotation of elders and deacons
who encourage and equip the laity to serve in ministries and communities.
6. Integration: Properly receiving and using the various gifts God has given our
members within the church and world.
