Vision

Elim Hope Church Vision

Introduction

Welcome to the Elim Hope Church: Lane End’s vision statement. As a church, we are excited to release the vision that as a leadership we believe has come from God. We have been seeking God for over six months as to the direction God wants for this church in Lane End. We have all fasted and prayed and come together as a leadership team, to be open to what God has planned for this church. Before I go further, it is important to understand that God makes vision a priority in all He does. The moment humanity rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3), God had a vision of redemption for all humanity through His son Jesus (Romans 5: 19).

Further to this, in one of the great wisdom books in the Old Testament, Proverbs 29: 18 states “Where there is no Prophetic vision, the people cast off restraint…” Vision is essential in keeping people focused on the plans He has for the church. We believe that God has given us a vision that enables us to connect with our community, grow and develop the church, and release people into the fullness of God.

We believe as church leaders that what God has given us has been tested and is correct for this church. There has been a unity across the leadership as we sought after God’s will for the church and found that God had been speaking clearly to each of us, that when we met to discuss the vision, we all were coming up with the same ideals. This was very exciting for us as it showed that what he had was a genuine vision from God.  We perceive this to be an exciting time for the church here in Lane End and we hope that you can journey with us as we seek to make a difference within our community, both inside and outside of the church.

Bringing Hope to Our Community

As a leadership team, we are refreshing the vision through much prayer and seeking God. We want the vision to be clear so that everyone knows what we are for and what we are about. We will release further developments of the vision over the coming weeks, months, and years, but at our core, our desire is to see people grow and develop in the giftings and faith in Jesus Christ. We want through the power of the Holy Spirit to bring 'Hope to Our Community'. Everything we do will be about bringing hope to the community as a church and the wider community of Lane End. 

We desire that everyone (no matter their background or upbringing), will have a place here at Elim Hope. Jesus is our Saviour and knowing Him and serving Him is essential to every Christian walk. Further, we want everyone to feel they belong (be that God or the church here), and are appreciated and loved. We want to walk the journey of faith through discipleship with everyone to help them develop their giftings and then help find ways for that gift to be released. 

These are exciting times for us here at Elim Hope and we would love you to join us on this journey. 

God bless you and thank you for taking to the time to read this.
