His Vision...Our Hands is our
far-reaching plan to expand our ministries far beyond what we
imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) We are committed to using Our
Hands to fulfill His Vision for the ministry at Lakehills.
As a part of our His Vision....Our Hands ministry plans, we are asking
every household in our church to prayerfully consider making a sacrificial
commitment (over and above your on going tithes and offerings) to be
given over the next three years. It is our prayer to raise $1.4
million dollars to begin building on the property, which God miraculously
provided. As you can see His Vision...Our Hands is an
important step to our future and you are vital to its success. We
know you will make His Vision...Our Hands a special priority in
your prayers and in your planning in the months ahead.
His
Vision...Our Hands newsletter updates will be available on the
Welcome Table.
They will include tax advice on non-cash contributions and some
wonderful articles on giving.
Commitments
received to date are $1,305,488.
The Folsom/El Dorado
Hills/Cameron Park areas are growing fast! Here, there are thousands
of people who haven't heard about Jesus love for them. We have a strategic
opportunity to reach them -an opportunity to minister to people
where they live, by growing and developing our current ministries:
Children's
Ministries crafted for young minds that
reach beyond our church family.
Youth Ministries
that reach kids and show them God's
way to live.
Teaching
Ministries to help people grow in God.
Outreach
efforts that meet people where they live.
We plan, God willing, to grow into a regional church and reaching this
area, with these expanded ministries, because Jesus wants to spend
eternity with the people who live here. This will require:
Growth to enable
these ministries.
Quality
facilities to enable our ministries to thrive
and grow.
A
continuing life together worshiping God and enjoying
his presence in our lives.
What is a "regional church"? The exact shape is, of
course, up to God. We envision a church that looks something like:
1000
members
1500
attendees on Sunday
500
youth in Program
Full
set of Programs
Robust staff
Robust outreach
Centered on prayer
Serving the Western Slope
Full
of people treasured by God
Unless the LORD builds the
house, its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
