Vision

Recognizing that God is sovereign over Central Baptist Church and that planning must always be done with prayer and humility, we believe that God is calling us to this vision.

By 2013, through prayer, dependence on God and our required effort, we will have become a healthy church of 750 people, in two diverse morning services.  

With 80% of our youth and adults participating in growth groups that are primarily sermon based and with many teams participating in “Glocal” mission projects, we will have developed strong relationships and become effective followers of Jesus Christ.

Through community participation, loving care and planned outreach, we see God bringing people to faith in Christ as demonstrated by 5% of our attendees baptized each year.

This vision is shaped around six strategic directives.

1. Take Jesus to Lost People
Our first priority is to connect with people in order to proclaim the gospel. We will seek to attract people to programs, events and services, and we will also make an effort to go into our community and world to connect with those who will not come on their own initiative.

2. Make Reproducing Followers of Jesus
Recognizing that our mission is to make fully devoted followers, we will look to sermon based growth groups as the primary way in which people are trained as followers of Christ.

3. Serve Inside and Outside the Church.
We will look for opportunities to be active in our faith, with special attention to participation in our local community and personal involvement in global missions.

4. Participate in Heartfelt Worship.
Although we recognize that all of life can be lived as worship, we will create a weekly corporate worship environment, which will inspire faith in the hearts of all who participate.

5. Connect in Caring Community.
We will create a welcoming culture that provides opportunities for people to form caring friendships.

6. Prepare for Growth.
Although growth is ultimately a work of God, we know that we have a God given duty to steward our resources, organize our leadership and direct our planning so that we can disciple those whom God will trust into our care.
