Vision
We are creating an online viritual church focused to unchurched and once churched people using the medium of the internet.
"
"
We exist to tell the message of Jesus in a way that people who have never attended church or who have left the church, can understand. A safe unreligous place to learn about Jesus and his words of Life.
We are all on a journey. It looks different for us all. No matter who you are or what you have done, we have discovered that God loves you. He wants to reveal himself to you. Our message is the message of Jesus, a message of love and forgiveness. It is a message of Life, Hope and Purpose.
The Digital Age is changing how we do this, but we must never change the what and why.

Strategy
Streaming Virtual Church Service with three core components.
Worship in one of two formats for each service
Contemporary Music to our culture yet anointed and skilled.
Traditional Music for those with a longer heritage of faith.
A story of people sharing God stories of their life and life change and
challenges. An 20 minute message that focuses on the good news
of Jesus and his message of life and hope in an unreligous presentation.
Utilizing an online streaming technology that enables and encourages
attenders to chat on the side of the video display.
Also allows attenders to ask for private prayer chat.
Services are never archived: the power of the service is to attend with others.
Messages are tagged by topic and indexed for further retrieval and viewing..
Stories are tagged by topic and indexed for further retrieval and viewing.
Advertising will be done through social media using sound bites from stories and messages.
Discpleship will be done through mentors who journey with each new follower of Jesus
Building strategic ministry partners using their resources for discipleship, training, equipping leaders in the marketplace to our members.
We will challenge and invite new followers of Christ to host a micro (house) church in their home, school or business. We will give these leaders the ability to stream the weekly service on demand and guide them to project the service on their TV while inviting others to join them. After the service is over, the micro church leaders will have instructions how to guide a discussion around the topic and initiate prayer and fellowship.
We have confidence in Jesus who healed the sick, the blind, and the paralyzed. And even raised the dead.
He cast out evil powers and confronted corrupt leaders. He cleansed the temple. He favored the poor.
He turned water into wine, walked on water, calmed storms.
He died for the sins of the world, rose from the dead, and ascended to the Father, sent the Holy Spirit.
We have confidence in Jesus who taught in word and example, sign and wonder.
He preached parables of the kingdom of God on hillsides, from boats, in the temple, in homes, at banquets and parties, along the road, on beaches, in towns, by day and by night.
He taught the way of love for God and neighbor, for stranger and enemy, for outcast and alien.
We have confidence in Jesus, who called disciples, led them, gave them new names and new purpose and sent them out to preach good news.
He washed their feet as a servant. He walked with them, ate with them, called them friends, rebuked them, encouraged them, promised to leave and then return, and promised to be with them always.
He taught them to pray.
He rose early to pray, stole away to desolate places, fasted and faced agonizing temptations, wept in a garden, and prayed, “Not my will but your will be done.”
He rejoiced, he sang, he feasted, he wept.
We have confidence in Jesus, so we follow him, learn his ways, seek to obey his teaching and live by his example.
We walk with him, walk in him, abide in him, as a branch in a vine.
We have not seen him, but we love him.
His words are to us words of life eternal, and to know him is to know the true and living God.
We do not see him now, but we have confidence in Jesus.
Nicene Creed (381 AD)
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
