Habakkuk 2:3 "Write the vision down and make it plain upon tablets."
We seek to be a prophetic church that catches God's heart for our future, prepares for the future, and becomes the future. At Trinity Christian Centre our vision has three aspects. It is focused on God, focused on the body and focused on the world.
Focused on the Body
John 13:34, "As I have loved you, love one another."
In building relationship with the Lord, our vision is also to build relationship with one another as His body.
- Caring - Trinity seeks to be a multicultural, multigenerational family church, where each member of the family cares for and affirms one another in love. We recognize the value that God places on families and therefore purpose to strengthen and encourage family units within the larger church family.
We purpose to provide time for fellowship, through which meaningful relationships and unity are built in the church.
We purpose to provide ministry that will address each of the special needs in the church, while recognizing each group's interdependence.
We esteem and recognize the importance of each member of the Church. And we esteem and recognize God given leadership, to whom God gives authority and responsibility, and of whom God requires accountability.
We seek for and expect the health and prosperity in spirit, soul and body for each member.
- Training - We purpose to build the church on the foundation of God's Word. We believe in the power of God's word for 'teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness' 2 Timothy 3:16
Along with the corporate input of God's Word, through preaching, teaching and Bible studies, we also seek for each member to develop a daily life style of individual Bible study.
We believe that each member, as a full time priest, is to be active in ministry. Our purpose is to help each one discover their gifting and equip them to function effectively.
We purpose to work together in relationship with an apostolic/prophetic translocal team to function as a Biblical model church and to help equip every member according to Ephesians 4:11-16.
- Networking - God has one church that is made up of individual local churches. Together we make up Christ's body in our city. We affirm the uniqueness and value of each church.
We purpose to interrelate with the whole body, both in our city and further afield. As we build relationship and work together, we will see the full expression of God's purpose for our city and land.
We determine not to speak negatively about or harm in any way churches in our city. We seek rather to bless other church leaders and their members and to build unity in the body of Christ.
