Goals:
We seek to glorify God by seeing many hundreds of Ames area residents become devoted followers of Jesus Christ, and many thousands hear the Gospel message.
Values:
We seek to accomplish this in ways that are in line with Stonebrook’s “Seven Pillars” and GCC’s Core Values.
Stonebrook’s Pillars:
- Fervently devoted to Christ
- Biblically minded
- Founded on integrity
- Family focused
- Committed to biblical community
- Socially responsible
- Evangelistically bold
What we aim to be:
To this end we will, by God’s grace, implement a spiritual formation process that will work toward these outcomes:
- Foster an authentic, life-giving, biblical walk with God for each member
- Cultivate biblically-ordered, kingdom-minded households
- Establish a growing network of well-organized and well-shepherded small-groups
- Gather these small groups together for joy-filled, intergenerational corporate worship
- Ignite in the whole church a spirit of mission-minded, intentional involvement in all spheres of life
- Mobilize the whole church to frequent and ongoing evangelism and missions on the local, national, and international level
- Develop fruitful partnerships with evangelical churches and ministries
- As we work toward this goal and establish these outcomes, we will extend this vision to dozens of unreached or under-reached towns and cities through Bible studies, church plants, possible satellite congregations.
