What is 2020 Vision?
Every day, we pray that God would give us his vision for his church. We have Values that define who we are and who we believe that God wants us to be. We have a Mission Statement that defines what we believe God wants us to do. Our understanding of Gods' vision for us defines how we believe that God wants us to accomplish those Values and Mission.
Mission Statement
The mission of the First Baptist Church of York is to show the York community and the world the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.
Values Statement
These values guide us in all that we do:
Centered in Christ – Jesus Christ is the head of our church. Whatever we do is for His glory, honor and praise. (Eph. 1:22-23)
Grounded in the Word – We acknowledge that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, through which God reveals Himself to us. (Ps. 119:105; 2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Offered in Worship – We seek to worship God together in spirit and truth, using music, Scripture, offerings, prayer and the preaching of God’s Word to exalt Jesus. We also worship through the daily offering of ourselves to God wherever we go in the world. (John 4:24; Romans 12:1-2)
Unified in Discipleship – We focus on the educational and spiritual growth of our children, youth and adults. (Luke 14:25-35; Acts 2:42; Eph. 6:1-4)
Bonded in Love – The perfect, unconditional love of God leads us to love, forgive and help one another as much as God has loved, forgiven and helped each of us. Love will always be the supreme value in all of our relationships. (1 John 3:16-18)
Supported in Fellowship – The Christian life is meant to be lived as part of a larger body of Christ. We share together in the joys and sorrows of life, growing together until we reach maturity in Christ.
(Prov. 27:17; Acts 2:42-47; Eph. 4:12-16)
United in Prayer – We express our faith corporately and individually by continually calling on God in prayer to give wisdom, vision and direction, healing, strength and to make us more like our Savior, Jesus Christ. In prayer, we confess our sins, praise Him for who He is and thank Him for what He has done, is doing and will do in our lives and in the world. (Col. 1:9-12; 1 John 1:9)
Invested in Missions – We are committed to reaching as many people as possible in our community and around the world with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8
