Our goal for the 2006 year remains the same, it is to strengthen our sense of community by focusing on building relationships: both person to person and person to God. We trust that by focusing our attention on loving our neighbor and providing for the lost and the least of this world, rather than on programming and increasing numbers, then “day by day the Lord will add to our number those who are being saved.” (Acts 2:47 paraphrased)
Maximize the utilization of our Family Life Center:
Recreational programming
Community Outreach events: educational and social
Use as a "regional ministry" center for groups, e.g. Joint Youth Fellowship

Create a building use policy
Continue and improve existing and add new opportunities for spiritual growth:
Powerful worship
Sunday School for all ages
Vacation Bible School
Bible studies
After school program
Missional outreach:
Establish a lay visitation program
Increase number of visits by children and music ministry teams to shut-ins
and local care centers.
Improve communication to church families, especially those who are not attending regularly
