This month in our Sunday evening services, each pastor from the MGA team is sharing their vision for their lives as well as their respective areas of ministry. Our church’s vision statement is “Serving to connect our community to the Father’s heart.” This is a great statement, however to achieve this, each one of us as individuals need to be connected to the Father’s heart. The Father has a heart of compassion, justice, grace, mercy, restoration, love, and peace. I honestly believe that if we are to move forward as a church, we need to move together in pursuit of the Father’s heart for us.
Fort McMurray is a young city, with a multitude of youth and young adults within it. It is my vision to see an army of young people taking this city by storm with the love of Jesus Christ. This year we have made some changes and adjustments in how we do some things in order that some day we would see this dream become a reality. Come on out tonight at 6:00pm as we talk about vision, dreaming big, and serving a big God who desires that none should perish, but all find eternal life through his Son. God Bless Your Week.
