On Sunday and again on Wednesday St Mary’s launched its 5 year vision.
This vision is: By the end of 2012, St Mary’s will be growing followers of Christ through an integrated discipleship and training pathway and through the planting of a new congregation.
Within this vision we have five objectives:
- To plant at least one new congregation by 2012.
- To develop an integrated and continuous discipleship pathway so that all members have the opportunity to grow in their faith, serve in ministry and engage with the community, sharing God’s love with all.
- To develop and maintain an integrated “curriculum” for the spiritual growth of disciples from 0 – 18 years.
- To identify, equip and grow leaders for all ministries.
- To equip people to deal with new issues and crises from a Christian perspective as they journey through life.
Gavin outlined how clearly the hand of God was on the whole process of setting and determining the vision - which is why we believe that this is the vision God wants us to pursue.
