Why is that when you look at an About Us webpage, there's always a cheesy mission statement that doesn't really make any sense? Well, we feel your pain. So, we wanted our mission statement to be something that unifies and communicates quickly and easily who we are. Are you ready? Here it is:
‘‘Awaken City Church . . . Awakened Hearts Loving Our City.’’
Short, huh? That's how we like it. Here at Awaken City Church, we even have a strategy for walking out our mission.
The strategy is simple, but we like to think it's profound too:
- Awakened Hearts
- Loving God
- Loving Each Other
- Transforming Our World
Since this is an About Us page, we don't want to skimp on the details, so here's our Core Values, amazingly all starting with the letter ‘‘E’’! How did we manage that?!
- Encountering the Kingdom of God—not just doctrine. We seek to encounter the reality of God's Kingdom; not just doctrine about the Kingdom.
- Embracing deep satisfying relationships. As Christ followers we embrace and form deep satisfying relationships because we were created for community.
- Effectiveness in all we do. Because the Gospel is the most relevant, live-giving message on the planet, we want to be effective in all we do.
- Excellence in all we do. We pursue excellence in ministry, always trying to rise above mediocrity and the status quo.
So that's a little about us. We would love to get to know you in return! Come visit us sometime during a Sunday morning service or help us pass out food to the homeless in downtown Greensboro on Sunday mornings before the meeting, at 8:00 am.
