The Vision (Part 2)

Our vision statement is...Elevation Church exists that people may live elevated lives by knowing Jesus personally, growing in faith through relationships, and going into the world sharing Jesus’ love.

The vision God has given me for Elevation Church is to be a highly relational organism within the community of Castle Rock. We will strive to connect people with their Creator.  We will lead them to a relationship with Jesus, their Savior. And we will create relational opportunities with others.  Elevation Church will serve the community and beyond, spreading the love of Christ as He commissioned us:

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 NIV

At Elevation Church we will purposefully place people above programs and relationships above other responsibilities. This is in line with Jesus’ teaching when he said the two greatest commandments are to love God and love others.

The church’s mission is to lovingly lead people to Jesus.  We believe we can change the world one life, one family, one generation at a time by carrying out this mission.
