Our Mission

Our Vision

GROW IN CHRIST • BE HIS CHURCH

CHANGE THE WORLD

We believe that the best way to fulfill our mission is to live out, both “The Great Commission,” and “The Great Commandment” given to us in God’s word.

SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD GROW DAILY.

Kingdom growth is about helping all people discover the life changing power of JESUS in our community and around the world; being living witnesses of the love of JESUS and the gospel of His grace every day, everywhere, and to every person.

The Great Commandment:

“Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22: 37-39 (NIV)

The Great Commission:

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 19-20 (NIV)

We believe that seeing the kingdom of God grow requires divine direction and power. In accordance to Acts 1:8, Christ Jesus has empowered His church with His Holy Spirit and has given us the road-map to effectively advance kingdom growth; we call this road-map the “GOD-SIZED VISION.”

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, and in Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” ACTS 1:8 (NIV)

Here’s what the GOD-SIZED VISION looks like for FDAV:

JERUSALEM
Where you worship, work and reside.
Your relationships & circles of influence

JUDEA

Your surrounding neighborhoods, cities, and counties.

SAMARIA
Your greater state and national community

WORLD
Your world. Every race, culture, and nation.
