| Mission
We exist to follow and make followers of Jesus Christ for the glory of God.
Vision
The vision of Ikthus Bacolod is to creatively implement the
Great Commission to build a growing community of churches
around the perimeter of Bacolod city by establishing relevant
churches that are committed to dynamic worship
of God while extending His transforming grace to reach the
unchurched community. (2005 Vision
Casting)
·
CREATIVELY IMPLEMENT THE GREAT COMMISSION
Jesus summarized his purpose for being on earth in Luke 19:10.
He
said, “For the son of man is come to seek and
to save that which was lost.” In his final instructions
he made the purposes of the church clear. “ 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.”
Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore,
our vision includes pursuing the lost in the most culturally
relevant format. This includes implementing Christ’s
commission on both an innovative and creative manner to the
unchurched of our community.
·
BUILD A GROWING COMMUNITY OF CHURCHES
Unchurched people are nine times more likely to come to a
new church rather than a older, established church. (Christianity
Today). We feel that the best means of impacting our area
with the transforming message of Christ is to plant culturally
relevant churches, like BCCB, around our community. For us,
this means starting a new satellite church every 3 years in
strategic locations so as to build a perimeter of churches
around the city.
·
COMMITTED TO DYNAMIC WORSHIP
Because our vision is to extend the transforming grace of
Jesus Christ, we believe that the most fundamental relationship
people can have is an active, living relationship with God
through Jesus Christ His son (John 10:10, Romans 6:23).
·
EXTENDING HIS TRANSFORMING GRACE
By the grace of God, the city of Bacolod will be a changed
community in 10 to 15 years , due to the influence of the
Spirit of God through the lives of or people who are devoted
to extending the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. It is
our vision that the members of BCCB will take Christ into
homes, marketplaces, political arenas and educational settings.
·
REACH THE UNCHURCHED
Finally, our vision includes the intentional pursuit of reaching
those who have stopped attending, or have never attended a
church. In other words, those who have not experienced God’s
transforming grace. |
