I am getting older and with age, my eyesight is not what it used to be. I now wear glasses when I drive and when I watch TV. Having my physical sight diminish has reminded me that over time every organization naturally loses sight of what is most important. Just like my glasses restore my physical sight, being reminded of the purpose behind an organization can restore lost “sight” to that organization.
Fellowship Church is a living organism and a functioning organization. So that our organizational sight remains focused, I want to remind us why we exist. Prayerfully everything that we do involves at least one of the following:
1. Leading others to become followers of Jesus (evangelism).
2. Helping those that are followers of Jesus to know Him better (discipleship).
We seek to accomplish this through praying together, worshipping together, serving together, studying the Bible together, reaching out to others together and giving together. This all leads me to a final component:
3. Togetherness in all that we do (fellowship).
Through everything that we do we are becoming a place where REAL relationships begin! We want this to happen through Vacation Bible School July 18-22, One Story Live from Bethlehem on December 10 & 11, Small Groups, Ministries, and Worship Services that occur every week, and Missions in India!
Evangelism, Discipleship, and Fellowship - that is the vision! I hope you see clearer now than you did a few minutes ago :)
