OUR MISSION
To
glorify God by developing healthy, reproducing
churches.
The
Wisconsin District is one of 34 districts in the United
States. Our vision is focused on four main things:
HEALTHY LEADERS
Pastors and leadership teams
are key to having healthy churches. We are committed to
growth in character and conduct, being in community with
others, and consistently and intentionally mentoring and
developing leaders.
HEALTHY CHURCHES
Churches that are healthy shine as
hopeful alternatives in a chaotic culture. They express
love in authentic and enduring relationships, experience
peace and joy even in hard times and deliver hope that
is relevant and real. They are passionate about God and
committed to bringing people into a personal
relationship with Christ.
NEW CHURCHES
Through prayer, giving, and a variety of
methodologies and creative alliances, there is a
commitment by the people and local churches to multiply
congregations.
NEW DISTRICTS
Our local churches and
district are committed to providing resources, people
and focus to help establish new churches and new
districts in other places around the world.
