OUR VISION
Without a Vision, the People Perish. We have a vision. Make it yours.
The Vision of the City of Refuge is To have a well established church full of the Holy Ghost. (Acts2)
Willing to work, be faithful, giving tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:10)
To Walk circumspectly before the Lord (Ephesians 5:15)
And be our Brother’s keeper (Hebrews 13:1)
Willing to read the Word, study the Word, keep the Word, and live the Word
Redeeming the time (Ephesians 5:16)
And witnessing for Jesus in our daily walk
Winning souls and setting the captives free from the bondage of sin (Isaiah 61)
Using the gifts that the Lord has given us according to His Will (1 Corinthians 12)
Walking together in love as God commands (John 15:10-13)
Giving Him all the glory and honor in everything
And acknowledging that every good and perfect gift cometh down from above (James 1:17)
For the Vision is for an Appointed Time
In doing the above we let our lights so shine so that men, women, boys & girls can see Jesus in our lives.
