Vision, Mission, Core Values

Horizons Church posted its Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Committments in the last post.

Check it out under "Vision".

Vision

Vision is one of those things that comes from the seat of desire. When you begin to get a vision about your life or what you want to do, you realize pictures of desire within yourself that are not yet achieved. But these dreams become the frames of the future as you put the scaffolding around your dreams. That scaffolding is the vision. It is large and tall, but there are a lot of gaps. You may right out your dreams and desires. What you want can become a vision for your life if you can lay out a clear process for attaining those dreams. So the dreams, desires, hopes, and anything ever scratched on a restaurant napkin, only become vision as you begin to envision those things happening.

Also, the next thing supporting your vision is the mission, and core values of what you are, and what you want to be the bullet points of your vision. Things that you will always come back to in life, regardless of what happens, those become your core values. No matter what, core values are made up of what works. Your mission will begin the road to how you will achieve the vision. See if you like this Vision, Mission, and Core Value sheet. It is called The Plan...
