Our Vision

As we look toward the future: 


God is calling our congregation to focus on encouraging, equipping, enabling, and empowering disciples to share God’s love and message of salvation with those around us and to grow in Christ’s likeness through three central themes: 


 •Commit: To a personal discipleship journey in Christ 


 •Communicate: Intentionally loving those in our relational world and sharing the message of salvation through words and actions


 •Connect: Establishing meaningful relationships with others to grow deeper in our walk with Christ and growing in a discipleship journey together. 


God is calling our congregation to focus on encouraging, equipping, enabling, and empowering disciples to become leaders who will develop and lead ministries that will engage our culture around three central themes: 


 •Build: Partnering with disciples—both new and experienced—to deepen their faith and investment in the Church.


 •Bridge: Fostering meaningful relationships to connect LWC to the community. 


 •Broaden: Sending and supporting missionaries to our local and global neighbors, helping them share the Good News across the street and around the globe.
