SIGNAL CREST VISION
In the next five years, Signal Crest aspires to become a neighbor-minded church, wholeheartedly devoted to Christ, growing a community of disciples who offer love to one another and share the grace of God through compassion and service.
We endeavor to be a church that invites the outside world inside our doors and to be a congregation of committed disciples, who are the hands and feet of God.

Scriptural Basis
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:10-13
Congregational Planning and Discernment
The Vision Team led several large and small group Congregational Vision events, where the Vision Framework was researched, discerned, and later summarized. Videos of both Kick-Off sessions as well as Vision Resources can be downloaded from "Additional Resources" for review below. Thanks to all participants!
