Vision
Vision is important because it gives us direction and a destination we are aiming to get to. Our vision for Elim Ryedale is based around the scripture found in 2 Corinthians 3 v 18 which says, “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
Vision: The church we see…
‘We will be a growing Christ-led FAMILY, reaching out with the GOOD NEWS, bringing God’s HOPE, LOVE, and positive life changing TRANSFORMATION through Jesus, to the people of Ryedale.’
Quite simply our vision is:
‘Reaching Ryedale for Jesus’.
Mission: How will we do this?
In Elim Ryedale, we are seeking to create a culture that enables every person to play their part in Reaching Ryedale for Jesus.
This is outworked in the call to:
Belong… Grow… Serve…
-
Belonging is about…
- Doing life together – we are God’s family, united by our love for Jesus.
- Being accepted – a place for anyone to call home.
- Finding refuge – creating a safe place for the community.
