WHAT'S IN YOUR VISION FRAME?

Brian Mosely of Irving Bible Church and his leadership team have created a "Vision Frame" to guide their church. Will Mancini recently shared this as a part of the Right Now Conference in Dallas.  The values contained within this frame are a helpful reminder to any church doing serious, outward-focused ministry.


Mission: What are we doing?
To help people trade in the pursuit of the American Dream for a world that desperately needs Christ
Values: Why are we doing it?

• We love … THE church. In our neighborhoods, at the office and around the world the mission of the church matters.
 

• We love … authentic stories.
Real-life stories have the power to inspire and validate what God is doing.


• We love … immediate action.
Christianity is a verb.  To wait is a sin.
 

• We love … hard work.
God is glorified when we use our God-given passions and skills with excellence.
 

• We love … our families.
There will always be more work to do, but not at the expense of family and friends. 

Strategy: How are we doing it?

1. Inspiring Leaders
   
2. Transforming Small Groups
   
3. Coaching Individuals

Mission Measure: When are we successful?
The mission is accomplished when a trader is activated. A Trader is a new kind of missionary, not defined by geography but by the resolve to:

• Choose Daily
• Hate Injustice
• Work as Worship
• Act Swiftly
