Our Worship
Purpose & Vision
To draw the hearts of the congregation into
restoration, healing and vital relationship with Christ through
worship that is prophetic, intercessory, releasing and sacrificial.
Such worship will provide experience and exposure to the Lord and
ignite the hearts of the worshipper.
Our purpose is to nurture and develop a worship team to live, model,
educate and exhort a transforming worship experience. We desire to
create an atmosphere that embraces His Presence, humbles our hearts
and extends His love to our congregation and into other churches.
Therefore we, encourage people
to experience and live a spirit–filled life through worship,
teaching, and body ministry. We minister to release and
empower men and women, young and old, to discover their
lifetime vision and reach their God – given destiny. We also invite
everyone to enter into the fullness of God’s
provision through spiritual gifts, healing and ongoing work of
deliverance.
“For He Himself is
our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of
the dividing wall,” Ephesians 2:14 (NASB)
Vision Statement:
The
vision of the Abundant Grace Ministries, a network of Christian
Churches, is to provide the NE Ohio communities with a church
experience of nurture, growth, counsel, discipleship, relationship
and the vitality of Body life through a home church or small church
network. We envision the application of “equipping and releasing”
others for the work of ministry to bless and enrich other local
churches and the community at large.
Purpose Statement:
The
purpose for the Abundant Grace Ministries is to minister to those
desiring an alternative church lifestyle emphasizing Body life and
ministry. This would be accomplished by developing a network of home
and/or small churches under the direction of church planters and
leadership. We also desire to bless and enrich the independent and
denominational local church by any means possible.
Philosophy Of Ministry:
It
is our desire to be a caring, diverse and sensitive church focused
on quality reproduction in the body. Our hope is to be a safe haven
for all people to experience the encouragement and healing of a
healthy priesthood of believers. These objectives are to be realized
through our commitment to
equip, empower and release
believers to
capture
the
vision of God’s destiny for their life and ministry.
