Pastor's Vision statement

Long Range Vision

 
Centuries ago, the Greek philosopher Archimedes said, "Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, and I can move the world."
 
The meaning of that plaque is that our church building is just our place to stand. From here, our people and ministries go out to move the world for Christ.
 
 

All of us pray that God will continue to use our church as powerfully as He does now, for decades to come.
 
Our community has a bright future, and we believe we are in the right location to be a vital part of it. Our own church demographics support a long term commitment to our current facility.
 
Your church leaders have developed a strategy for us to maximize our spiritual effectiveness. This plan also includes renovating part of our present facility.
 
To bring this vision to pass, everyone must unite and support our special capital campaign, For the Kingdom.
 
Join me in prayer as we seek God's will in how each of us can participate in this endeavor.

How can you help?

1. By giving from your own income sources - an "over and above" gift for three years. The total of this three year ift can be a significant contribution to this vision.
2. By making a one-time sacrificial gift from existing resources, such as the sale of a vehicle, property, life insurance, or other assets. Appreciated securities can be transfered directly to Bear Valley for maximum tax savings (call the church for more info).
3. By making a "faith promise" and trusting God to supply an amount that He impresses upon you. He will send this to you in some unexpected way, for this purpose.

Ask God to lead you

• Stop and pray about this.
• Pray some more, really listen to what God is saying to you.
• Faithfully do whatever God says to do. Know that your gift - whatever the amount - will support and further our church's vision.
