MISSION, VISION, GOALS AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
INTRODUCTION:
In the Scriptures there is first the creation of God and then the building of God. At the conclusion of the work of God’s creation there was the garden of Eden, and at the conclusion of the work of God’s building there is the holy city, the New Jerusalem. With the tree of life, there was a flowing river, and in the flow of the river there were precious materials for the building. In the last two chapters of Revelation there is a city built up with these precious materials, a city of gold, pearl, and precious stones. This reveals that after God’s creation, God intends to do another work—to build Himself into man and to build man into Himself. God placed man before the tree of life because God’s intention was to build man with God by his experience of God as life.
