In the next decade, by God's grace, we will help thousands of people experience the reality of living under the loving leadership of Jesus, so that our lives overflow with the life that Christ offers. We will encourage and equip people to live out the Kingdom life together, as extended families that love and serve one another. We will see thousands who are passionately committed to making an impact with their lives, so that Jesus is made famous throughout our world.
People are thirsty for a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. Sadly, our culture is looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places. The National Capital Region is a place of affluence where the pursuit of the good life is the highest goal. People chase material wealth and security, self-serving relationships, sex, image and success as the ultimate things. But, in the end, they are left unfulfilled. Families are damaged by the pressures of life, and have little room for authentic community where people are truly known and loved. Today, people are more connected than ever, but they often feel more isolated, alone, and anxious than ever before. People long for true and meaningful friendships, but they don't know where to look. Marriages are being torn apart by selfishness and sexual sin, leaving a wake of hurt that impacts families for generations.
All of this reveals that, in so many ways, our lives and our world is broken. But Jesus is the Ultimate One who brings true life, meaning, fulfillment, wholeness, and satisfaction. We must help people find this true-life Source, because they will never be truly satisfied apart from Him. Jesus is the Good News who leads us to the good life. But, to help others find this Kingdom life, we must first experience it ourselves. That is why our spiritual formation process is so important.
Our leadership development and spiritual formation process will help people understand and experience the fullness of the Kingdom Life that Jesus promised. It will also help equip and prepare people to live out their faith in tangible ways so thousands more can experience this same life. We see Sequoia's Christ-Followers creating places of belonging where we can proclaim and demonstrate the goodness of God in meaningful ways to all those we encounter. As a result of creating genuine community and blessing, where Jesus is at the centre, marriages will be healed, families will become healthy, people will experience real relationships, broken people will be made whole, and God will be glorified.
We will see neighbourhoods transformed by the unexplainable kindness of Sequoia's Christ-Followers: people living out the Kingdom life in a way that demands a God explanation. We envision one hundred Impact Communities across the NCR, filled with people who live as families of servants on mission. These Impact Communities will engage different neighbourhoods, social groups, and sub cultures, in ways where people are drawn to Jesus and life in His Kingdom. We see these Impact Communities acting as strategic mission outposts across the NCR, where disciples of Jesus engage new causes and help establish new Sequoia campuses and church plants. We see Kingdom partnerships and collaboration with other churches and ministries for the sake of the Gospel. We see a Kingdom building, as a missional hub, serving the city, housing our church family and other organizations seeking the renewal of the City. The impact of these initiatives will be measured by positive community transformation as we see the renewal and restoration that Jesus brings through His Kingdom. And we won't stop until we see our city filled with people who are fueled by the love of Christ and committed to seeing Jesus' Kingdom come. But it won't stop in our region. We will equip and empower people to go throughout the world to represent Jesus, so that everyone experiences the full life that Christ offers.
What is our Vision? In a sentence, it is to see thousands of people live out the Kingdom of Jesus together, wherever we live, work, play, and go.
We believe that when we as Christ-followers learn to live out our true identities as families of servants on mission, through a multiplying Impact Community model, we will change the world. For the Kingdom of Jesus will expand and multiply through our lives, and many others, to the neighbourhoods and communities of the National Capital Region, and to the ends of the earth, so that God is glorified.
