We have A dream

We have A dream of creating a safe shelter for those who are lonely, hurting, confused, hopeless, helpless, and lost; that they may experience the same love, acceptance, hope, comfort, encouragement, forgiveness, and fellowship that Jesus demonstrated toward those with whom He came in contact.
 
We have A dream of welcoming lots of new believers into our family each year, where we laugh, love, cry, and grow together in harmony.  We want to grow them to become mature in Christ and to minister for Christ, as well as serve in missions. 
 
We have A dream to do whatever it takes to reach the lost and unchurched with the unchanging and timeless message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, utilizing any and every method while honoring God.
 
We have A dream of starting new “church planting churches” and congregations as fruits of a healthy and growing church both in the states and around the world.  We desire to surround the Effingham County area with new churches who will operate under the same vision in order to take back a city and county for Christ.
 
We have A dream of equipping every member for their significant ministry to which God has called them by helping them realize and develop their spiritual gifts, talents, skills, and abilities.  We desire to have every member actively involved in ministry.
 
We have A dream of developing multitudes of believers to spiritual maturity through discipleship classes, small group Bible studies, relationships that that build up, and a great fellowship where the love of Christ is alive and vibrant.
 
We have A dream of building a church with beautiful, yet simple facilities including a worship center seating 500, a prayer center, classrooms for Bible studies and training lay ministers, and resource center containing food, clothing, Life center ,and community support ministries.  All of this will be designed to minister to the whole person; spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.  Each facility will be equipped with state of the art lighting, sound, and innovative technology.Morningstar do you have a dream?
