The Vision and Purpose of Colona Community Church

     bibleOur vision at Colona Community Church is that we manifest, in word and deed, to our community and world, a message of hope and love in our Savior, Jesus Christ and His power to dramatically change lives.

Our Philosophy is stated in the Great Commandment of Matthew 22:37-40.

Mat 22:37 Jesus answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and most important commandment.
Mat 22:39 The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, "Love others as much as you love yourself."
Mat 22:40 All the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets are based on these two commandments.

Our Purpose is stated in the Great Commission of Matthew 28: 18-20.

Mat 28:18 Jesus came to them and said: I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth!
Mat 28:19 Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.

Our Plan of action is the example of the disciples found in Acts 2:40-47.

1.  In Evangelism, believers presenting the gospel to unbelievers, asking them to repent and receive Christ as Lord and Savior.

2.  In Discipleship, one believer teaching and training another believer to walk in Christ's footsteps; to imitate Him; to follow His example, and heed His Word

(2 Peter 3:18).

3.  In Fellowship, an assembly where members relate to one another as true family members (Galatians 6:10; Ephesians 2:19; Hebrews 10:42).

4.  In Ministry, meeting another person's need through Christ.  It is the outward expression of our love (1 John 3:17; Philippians 4:16; Matthew 10:42).

5.  In Worship, entering into God's presence to magnify Him, to hear from Him, to be transformed by Him and to leave committed to Him.

Our Desired Product is the result achieved in the working out of our philosophy and plan in the power of the Holy Spirit, without Whom nothing lasting is possible, namely;

1.  Spiritual Growth.

2.  Numerical Growth.

3.  Ministry Growth.

4.  Mission Advancement.
