   3-D Vision & 3-G Mission
3-D VISION:

This "3-D Vision" is how we "see" everything! Every structural part or system of a LifeHouse Church exists because it is essential to helping people to be consistently enlightened to the main things that Jesus focused His life on, to assist people in an ongoing, deliberate process of spiritually growing in the things Jesus' life consisted of, and to encourage people to genuinely and credibly carry out the things Jesus lived His life for!

These are not independent elements, but inter-connected, simultaneous dynamics of LIFE to help people to function in respect to the core values, the character, and the cause of Christ with intense passion and purpose!

Ultimately then, the true mark of a real follower/disciple of Jesus Christ is that they have taken personal responsibility for their own spiritual development/maturity! True "equipping of the saints" is that the "saints" can grow and mature themselves-a "personal" relationship with Jesus Christ, not merely a "corporate" one!

3-G MISSION:

People, accepted and assembled by God to live and come together as one Family/Body consisting of many diverse, yet integral Parts for the primary purpose of functioning Missionally, both personally and corporately, in the larger cultural community! We do this through:

1. "Gatherings" (Primarily the weekly, larger "Church" Sunday "service")
This is the larger church family, corporate body, coming together at least weekly with the primary purpose being able to help people to discover, develop, and demonstrate LIFE through family worship, family prayer, family instruction/impartation, and family/personal application.

2. "Groups" (Primarily the consistent, smaller "relational" communities)
These are smaller "communities" that relationally connect in the context of "LIFE Groups" or "Ministries" on a consistent basis. The purpose is to cultivate an atmosphere of taking personal responsibility for one's own spiritual development thus enabling the "community" to also develop spiritually-in this respect a "ministry" is simply a tool or instrument to promote personal spiritual development.

3. "Glocal" (Primarily each person being engaged in the personal mission field; groups engaged in neighborhoods, community organizations, etc., and the "Church" engaged in both local and global "missionary" efforts).
This "glocal" dynamic is understood in terms of "the mission of Jesus has me and the church, "NOT" I and the church have a mission!" Both locally and globally the Kingdom of God is expanded through missional people, engaged in their culture by living out the core values, character, and cause of Christ.
