At Victory Community Christian Church, our Mission Statement is to:
Connect with God, each other and our World.
Jesus said in Mark 12 vss 29-31, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only LORD. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
We want to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We encourage everyone to passionately pursue a relationship with God. Rom 8vs15 says, "So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” That tells us about the kind of relationship God desires to have with us, and for us to experience with Him. Most people will struggle to call God "Daddy" so it is a journey, getting to know God more and more, CONNECTING with God.
We also want to promote CONNECTING with each other. Prov 27v17, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." It is in the context of friendship, connecting with each other, that we can grow in our Christian faith, becoming more and more like Christ.
When we connect with each other, we become a community that can encourage each other, support each other, pray for each other. Jesus said in John 13v35 "Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
We want to provide a place where we can build each other up, encouraging each other, and serve one another with the gifts and talents that God has given each of us.
This begins to fulfill the second of the greatest commandments, to love your neighbour as yourself. Which is completed in the last part of our Mission Statement, Connecting with our World.
We want to connect with our world, our community, where ever we are. Jesus last words on earth commanded us to "Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you".
God doesn't want anyone to perish, and He sent us His Son to prove His love for all of us. Jesus also taught in Luke 14 that we should go out into the lanes, go behind the hedges and compel them to come in. Everyone matters to God, no matter who you/they are.
As Pastor, it is my desire that we would be a church family that is Spirit filled, and Spirit led. That we are known for our love for each, and that we are generous with all things as God has been generous to us.
