Vision and Mission
John
4:34, 35
"Jesus
said, 'The food that keeps me going is
that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he
started. As you look around right now,
wouldn't you say that in about four months it will be time to
harvest? Well, I'm telling you to open your eyes and take a good
look at what's right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are
ripe. It's harvest time!'"
--The Message Bible
First Assembly exists for
the purpose of reaching the unchurched --
leading
them to Jesus, then teaching them about Jesus.
Our Vision is
W.I.N.G.S. based
on "Yet those who
wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with
wings like eagles;
they
shall run and not get tired,
they will walk and not become weary."
-- Isaiah 40:31
