Just imagine that in 2015.....
.....the lives of individuals and entire communities are changing because our churches are enthusiastically implementing a clearly defined, transformational purpose that is consistent with our global hearts... we live out Acts 1:8... as a result, people around an Alliance church know it is a place where God speaks, people are healed and released into a life of freedom...it is a place where everyone, whether a follower of Christ or not, feels a sense of belonging...
...the communities where Alliance churches "live" see the church as necessary and integral to community health and vitality...pastors are community-connected and have a reputation for their love and character...this relevance has resulted in a rapid growth of the Alliance in Alberta...churches consistently experience a 10% growth rate measured by baptisms of new believers...
...Alliance pastors are lifelong worshippers and learners, maintaining their capacity to lead their church to acheive transformational growth...pastors focus their efforts across all generations to recruit, train and deploy people who have a missional mindset...they multiply leadership throughout all levels of their church, so much so that the WCD is known as a "producer and exporter" of exception, transformational church and community leaders... |
