Our Vision is to be a growing missional community that glorifies Jesus and lives for Him daily
The Vintage Life Church 2020 Vision comes out of our desire to be used by God in any way that pleases Him. We do not presume upon God our own desires, but pray that His will be done. Knowing that we are at our beginning as a church, we, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:26, do not want to “run aimlessly” or “box as one beating the air,” but desire to have a direction and a vision that points us forward for God’s glory. The vision we have is based on the natural fruit of each of our seven core values as we see them over the next 10+ years. We pray that this vision will keep us focused on who we are as a church, and our purpose for being a church. We do not now see perfectly, but dimly, until The Perfect comes in His glory. Therefore, until that Day, we will strive continually to seek Him and His will for Vintage Life Church.
