教會異象 Vision

波特蘭華人福音教會的異象 

我們是以基督為中心、以神的話語為根基、以建立門徒為使命,並活在與三一神,父、 子、聖靈的相交中的教會。
 
我們是以神的話語為準則的教會,藉著忠心的講道、教導,活出神的話,使信徒在認識神 和聖潔上不斷長進。

我們是以釋經講道、禱告、聖餐和會眾唱詩為核心敬拜神的教會,在敬畏、喜樂與合乎聖經的原則中來敬拜祂。

我們是活在持續禱告中的教會,在一切事上表達對神的依靠,並尋求祂的旨意。

我們是活在合乎聖經團契中的教會,在真實關係中彼此相愛、彼此建立、彼此勸勉,使我們在群體生活中順服神的話,並在日常生活中見證福音。

我們是有門訓文化的教會,福音在我們中間藉著有意識的門訓一代一代地傳承;全體成員都被裝備,成熟的信徒以生命帶領他人活出基督的樣式。

我們是重視婚姻與家庭、也看重單身信徒的教會,使弟兄和姊妹都得著裝備,在家庭和教會中活出合乎聖經的角色,並在基督裡與祂的使命中找到意義與喜樂。

我們是有意識培養僕人領袖的教會,藉著門訓裝備弟兄和姊妹,使我們忠心服事、承擔責任,並特別栽培弟兄承擔牧養與帶領教會的職分,在本地與各處被主使用。

我們是有福音文化的教會,在本地向波特蘭的華人傳福音,並參與神在本地和萬國中的福音工作。

最重要的是,我們渴望看見神在我們中間的作為,因著與三一神的相交,使基督的福音被廣傳,生命被改變,教會被建造,使神得榮耀。

We are a Christ-centered, Word-grounded, disciple-making church, living in communion with the triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We are a church governed by the Word of God, where through faithful preaching, teaching, and living out the Word of God, believers grow in the knowledge of God and in holiness.

We are a church that worships God with expository preaching, prayer, the Lord’s Supper, and congregational singing at the center, in reverence, joy, and biblical faithfulness.

We are a church devoted to a continual life of prayer, expressing our dependence on God and seeking His will in all things.

We are a church living in biblically faithful fellowship, where in genuine relationships we love, build up, and exhort one another, so that we obey God’s Word in our life together and bear witness to the gospel in our daily lives.

We are a church with a culture of discipleship, where the gospel is passed on from generation to generation through intentional discipleship; every member is equipped, and mature believers lead others by example to live out the likeness of Christ.

We are a church that values marriage and family while also honoring singles, equipping both men and women to live out their biblical roles in the home and the church, and to find meaning and joy in Christ and His mission.

We are a church that intentionally develops servant leaders through discipleship, equipping both men and women to serve faithfully and take responsibility, while especially training men to take on the roles of shepherding and leading the church, serving faithfully both locally and beyond.

We are a church with a culture of evangelism, proclaiming the gospel to Chinese people in Portland and participating in God’s work locally and among the nations.

Above all, we long to see God at work among us, and through our communion with the Triune God, the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed, lives are transformed, the church is built up, and God is glorified.
