Mission/Vision
Our mission is evolved and created through Christ
instruction, command and inspiration found in the
Great Commission which empowers
us.   Mission/Vision Something one wants to do, a
purpose, and or structure. Our mission tells
who we are and our reason for existence.
Descriptive words such as empowering, sharing,
caring, effort, witnessing, changing lives,
provision and salvation were offered up by the
members. We concluded most of our words were
action oriented words. Action words ought to
state what we stand for and what we intend to
accomplish. We also felt that words such as
global, local, reaching the lost, prison
ministry, voice of women, virtue, integrity and
comforting defined our fulfillment of the Great
Commission. As a team we expounded on many ideas
and formulations and assessed the following as
our mission as the Outreach Ministry of Faith
Family Community Church.
