This document outlines the vision for a church to be like the church in Antioch described in Acts 11-18. It aims to be strategic, scriptural, spiritual, sympathetic, synergistic, soul-winning, and sending. It details why the church moved downtown to impact more people, plans for renovating the first floor, and asks members to help through prayer, attendance, bringing others, voting, and giving to fund the $7 million project. Construction is slated to begin in May with the first service in September.
