The Vision of Glorious Life Church

November 1, 2008

Glorious Life Church is committed to reaching out with kindness, growing strong families, building healthy relationships and breaking down the walls of racism in our communities.

How will we carry out this vision?

Reaching Out with Kindness – We must allow God to change us so that His kindness can flow through us as individuals and as a church. We will do outreaches and fellowships that are unparalleled acts of hospitality and service. We will show people just how special they are.

Growing Strong Families – We will model and teach God’s design for our families. We will give people the tools they need to have great marriages, be the best parents and bring up great kids. There will be regular teaching, conferences, parent’s nights out and counseling available.

Building Healthy Relationships – We will teach the timeless relationship principles found in the Bible and utilize the best research available. It will be taught in services, classes, conferences and counseling will also be available. We will continue to connect people with each other and provide opportunities for healthy relationships to form.

Breaking Down Walls of Racism – Our outreach, fellowship, ministry and services will be done to reach people of different races. We will provide opportunities for any race in the ministry and life of our church.  We will live out the standard that we are all one in Christ and regardless of one’s color they are welcome here.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I just can’t say it enough. You have worked so hard to make camp meeting a success. This again was a joint venture between Glorious Life Church and Creation Station. You people are an honor to serve with. You are faithful, generous and supportive. I appreciate the sacrifices that you made with your time and money this week. I believe that we are a great team. Lonnie, Matt and I were talking this week about how awesome all of you are and Lonnie said that he had never worked with such a great group of people. I agree. Please realize that every act of service that you do has an impact. All week long you have made sure things were put in order in the natural so that the spiritual would not be hindered. Those of you who prepared and served food made it easier for people with expenses and traveling. You blessed them. The greeters and ushers made people feel welcome and comfortable which helps them be more receptive to ministry in the service. Ushers kept order in the service which limited distractions so people could stay focused on what the Holy Spirit may have been speaking to them. Everyone who kept the building and grounds clean made this a nice place to be for ministry. You exemplified stewardship and excellence. Our wonderful childcare workers ministered to our children so that the adults could receive ministry without being distracted. There were those who made sure our guest speakers had a comfortable and private place to relax and gather their thoughts prior to service so they could be prepared to bring us the Word from the Lord.

The praise and worship team and media department brought us a high quality worship experience that ushered us into the presence of God, setting the stage for pulpit ministry following. All of you have served the conference officials and fellow churches well. You have served. You gave yourself away in a very gracious way. Jesus said “that he who is the greatest among you is the servant of all.” You are the greatest. You have followed after Jesus. It truly is an honor to serve with you. I would serve with you on any endeavor. You are hard working people who put your whole heart in it and it’s a joy to serve with you. There is no task to big for you.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You and I love you!
