_{Trinity Community Church Vision}

Mission Statement

To glorify God by making disciples, primarily through nurturing believers, for their role in relational evangelism.

Explanation of Mission: The mission of an organization is a broad based statement about what the organization is called to do. For our purposes, the Mission of TCC will look similar to the mission of all other churches which seek to be Biblical. The language may be different, but the mission of our local church, as we see it, is the mission of the Church. Our mission is to fulfill the Great Commission. We believe this statement includes worship, fellowship, disciple making and missions, while providing the necessary emphasis on relational evangelism in our communities.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to cooperate with God in a unified and multifaceted ministry movement, so that every person in Southwest, suburban Boston can hear the Gospel of Christ in terms they understand.

Explanation of Vision: Although mission is important for an organization to nail down, it should not be seen as the same thing as its vision. Vision offers a detailed understanding of what makes the organization unique. A vision comes from God, though not explicitly in the Bible. It sharpens the focus of mission and presents it with passion. This vision includes disciple making because it will only be fulfilled as believers grow in Christ and minister as He leads.

Vision Slogan

"God working through us... until every person in our community hears the gospel from someone they know."

Core Values of Our Vision

Church wide “values” answer the question; “What are the guiding preferences in our congregation which shape what we do as a church, and why we do these things?” These emerge from the Scripture. We believe TCC ought to live by these “Core Values” in reality (not merely in words) as we pursue God’s leading and vision. We believe that through prayer, Spirit-led discipling, and communication, these core values must become filters for all of our decisions.
