Vision

Our vision as a church is to be A Church in the World

A Church

In the New Testament the church was not a building. It was the people inside the building who were followers of Jesus that had gathered together to worship God. The Fields Church was planted in hopes of building up and sending out the church, the people of God, into the world to fulfill the commission of Christ to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20). To do this, every one of us must live on mission to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the context of relationships.

In the World

Jesus says in Matthew 13:38, “The field is the world and the good seed are the sons of the kingdom.” As followers of Jesus, sons of the kingdom, we are to plant our lives in the field of the world. We should never isolate ourselves from those who don't know or love Jesus, we should live among them. Jesus said we should be in the world but not of the world (John 17:14-18).

In John 4:35 Jesus said, "Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." The world has always been and is still in need of restoration. God is still working in the lives of people all around the world. It our desire and prayer to be a church that lives out our Christian faith in the world in hopes of growing deep roots in the gospel of Jesus and multiplying our faith in others.

One way we are aiming to do this is by partnering, serving, and gathering in our local YMCA. (Want to know more about why the Y? Click here.)

Mission

Our mission is to glorify God by making disciples of all nations through the truth of Jesus in the context of relationships. To fulfill this mission, we have broken it down into 5 categories of focus that drive all of our efforts as a church. These 5 categories outline everything we do on our website, during new membership classes, and at every members' meeting:

WORSHIP | why (beliefs) and how (Sunday gatherings, music, etc.) we worship
DISCIPLESHIP | classes, groups, and resources for making disciples
MISSIONS | our local, national, and global efforts
GOSPEL | believing in Jesuskeeping His word, and preaching his gospel (sermons)
COMMUNITY | events, groups, and ministries
