At Prince of Peace our vision is to be A thriving church that changes lives and leads the culture by growing 10,000 passionate Christians in every generation. We know we cannot do this except through the power of the Holy Spirit and by foeging partnerships with others in our community, society and world. But we also believe that our God is calling us to make a different world, not just make a difference in the world. If the vision ofyour ministry is inward andfor the sake of the members ofyour church, then it is not big enough to getyou into the new game, out ofjerusalem and into Caesarea. That hodgepodge caravan was not only vision led, it was mission driven.
Mission is the strategy for achieving the vision.
This Mission shapes everything we do at Prince of Peace, from the way we worship to the thematic way in which we organize everything from sermons to children's Sunday school lessons. In Caesarea Peter's mission was simple and compelling - for him and the household of Cornelius. B. Create a new culture within your ministry -that's what we are doing at Prince of Peace. We know that we cannot achieve our vision or live out our mission if ministry is the province of the clergy. Neither can we be faithful in this calling as long as we define mission and ministry in terms of 3.
