Our Vision at Legacy Church is simple, really... we're a Kingdom Family Bringing Transformation wherever we go! We exist as a place for releasing God’s Kingdom in the Earth to transform lives and cities as people know, hear, and respond to Jesus. We just have to be willing to get out of God’s way and let Holy Spirit move!
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
- Matthew 6:33
Your Kingdom come. Your will be done. On Earth as it is in Heaven.
- Matthew 6:10
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
- Romans 10:17
People don't live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
- Matthew 4:4
The Mission? To see measureabe, Kingdom-driven transformation take place in people’s lives as they are saved, healed, set free, discipled, equipped, empowered, and serving God’s Kingdom! We believe God has called us to be 360 degrees in ministry; this means being well-rounded and connecting people to God on multiple fronts.
The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.
- Luke 4:18-19
Because making disciples is part of the overall mission of the church as a whole, we believe every one of us were Created to “B”:
-
BELIEVE LIKE JESUS – Beliefs and faith are interconnected, and beliefs must lead to action. It is not enough to just believe in Jesus; we are called to believe LIKE What we believe will determine how we live. This means we must place our hope and trust in Jesus by surrendering to His Lordship in every area of our lives.
-
BUILD HIS KINGDOM – We are not called to build the church, but instead bring the influence of God's Kingdom everywhere we go. Jesus promised to build the church. How? By building His Kingdom in us and through This means submitting to God and being His hands and feet to those around us by giving of ourselves and serving others.
-
BELONG TO GOD AND HIS FAMILY – When we became born again, we did not join a club, organization, or cause; we now belong to God and His family. Every believer is called to belong to a local church family. Belonging to family means developing meaningful friendships with others who love Jesus and walking through life together by loving, helping, and protecting one another.
-
BECOME ALL THAT GOD CREATED US TO BE – We were born again into something… not from Jesus became flesh, and sin itself, so we could become all God created and redeemed us to be. This means shifting the focus of our lives from self-centered to Christ-centered by doing what Jesus would do and loving as He would love.
Core Values speak to the environment the vision and mission take place in; they guide how we approach ministry at Legacy Church:
-
GOD IS KING AND OUR SOLE SOURCE FOR EVERYTHING: Everything we do will be done to glorify God and build His Kingdom. It is all about Him and for no other reason. For His is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory forever. We do this by seeking His presence and listen as He continues to speak today.
-
GOD IS A GOOD FATHER: He always has been and will always be good. This includes times of mystery when we do not understand situations. It is His kindness/goodness that leads to repentance (Romans 2:4).
-
JESUS HAS SECURED ABSOLUTE VICTORY: Nothing escaped the cross of Christ. He paid it all.
-
GRACE THAT EMPOWERS: Grace is not just unmerited favor but also gives us the ability to become who God created us to be and to do the good things He planned for us. We must be responsive to His grace.
-
WE ARE FOCUSED ON HIS PRESENCE: Prayer | Worship | Lifestyle.
-
THE WORD PLUS SPIRIT BRINGS POWER: We are both Spirit-Led and Bible Grounded.
-
GOD'S WORD TRANSFORMS COMPLETELY: The Bible is God's Living Word and our plumb line for truth.
-
THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS: Telling others about what God is doing is a must. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. What God has done once, He will do again.
-
GOD IS ALWAYS SPEAKING AND EVERY BELIEVER CAN HEAR HIM PERSONALLY: This includes prophetic ministry, dreams, visions, heart nudges, while reading the Bible, and much more.
-
WE ARE CALLED TO BE A KINGDOM FAMILY: Life is best lived in a relational, whole-hearted family. God designed us for relationship. We reach our greatest potential through community.
-
WE VALUE HEALTHY FATHERING AND MOTHERING RELATIONSHIPS: Multi-generational revival includes healthy Fathers and Mothers raising up mature Sons and Daughters who become healthy Fathers and Mothers.
-
WE OPERATE WITH A CULTURE OF HONOR: Honor recognizes God's created value in each person and releases them to be powerful. Someone doesn't need to change in order for me to be ok with either them or myself.
-
GOD LIVES IN ME TO TRANSFORM ME: God will continue to transform me into who He created me to be as I actively follow Him and pursue His presence. I am a brand new creation. Character matters.
- WE VALUE TEACHABILITY: None of us has arrived or is above growing. Maturity includes healthy honesty, transparency, and humility.
- GOD WORKS THROUGH US TO TRANSFORM OUR WORLD: Saved people, serve people. Every member owns the work of the ministry, not just a select few. God partners with people of faith to transform their community and world.
- JESUS EMPOWERS US FOR SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY: Jesus said that we would do even greater works as we live empowered by the Holy Spirit. We believe that God's Kingdom is for now. When you expect the supernatural, and believe that God is able, your expectations will lead you to action.
- THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY IS FOR TODAY: We believe God continues to raise up Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers in order to equip all believers for the work of ministry, and help the Bride to grow up into full maturity.
- GOD IS GENEROUS AND SO ARE WE: We can never out give God. God is extravagantly generous and our generosity is a response and reflection of Him. We consider it a privilege to give back to God what He has so freely given to us. We celebrate generosity and the work God does through our sacrificial giving and stewardship.
- JESUS IS COMING BACK FOR A VICTORIOUS AND GLORIOUS BRIDE: We believe the Church will successfully fulfill Christ's great commission to make disciples of all nations, which means the nations will be transformed.
