OUR VISION AT GCR
Call it what you will – transformation, sanctification, spiritual formation – it doesn’t happen overnight. The course of being changed more and more into the image of God is difficult and lengthy. But this is precisely what God is doing with those he has saved and called for his glorious purposes. This is what God is doing in us. And we are paying closer attention to it at GCR.
As we are shaped more and more into the image of Jesus, the natural outcome will be service to others. This is God’s great purpose and will for his people – mission, ministry, good works. This is what God is doing through us. And we are committing to it at GCR.
Our vision at Golf Course Road brings us to a new season of exciting opportunity: challenging us to take greater steps of faith, making the most of our momentum and resources, and serving in love those who are far from God. If we are focused and unified in this vision, our God will work through us to reach more people, to impact more lives, and to ultimately do more for his Kingdom than we’ve ever dared to dream. We are on the cusp of something eternally significant for our church, a BREAKTHROUGH that triggers an explosion of faith and generosity for the sake of Midland, the whole Permian Basin, and the world.
Formation Zones
Our shepherds and ministers at GCR have studied and researched together the twin values of transformation and mission within our church family. We’ve listened to the stories and gathered the experiences during leadership retreats, brainstorming sessions with class teachers and small group leaders, and through a church-wide survey. After much time in prayer and discernment, we believe God’s Spirit works in four key areas in our lives to shape us more into the image of Jesus: Knowledge, Community, Christian Practices, and Mission.
This is how God works despite how we organize and program our church. Imagine now what happens if we walk together in step with God as he transforms us. What if we pay more attention to the methods we already know God uses? The sky’s the limit!
These “formation zones” are not steps or principles. These are not building blocks or programs or projects. These are faith catalysts. These are dynamics. This is the lens through which everything we do is viewed, evaluated, and measured. This is the atmosphere, the place where our God works to make us into the people he uses to touch the whole world with his joy and peace.
