Vital Congregations Initiative (VCI) Vision and Purpose
The Reedville Church is participating in the Vital Congregations Initiative of the Presbyterian Church (USA). It’s a two-year project to discern and deepen our understanding of God’s purpose for us now in our community, reconnect with the Spirit of Christ among us, and make specific plans for the future. Completing a study of the Seven Marks of Vital Congregations in November, we break for the holiday season and gear up for new VCI events in the spring.
Vision: By the power of the Holy Spirit, and in authentic relationships with mid councils, we seek to equip, nurture and support church leaders to empower their congregations to renew, recover and live more fully into faithful discipleship to Jesus Christ.
Purpose: The purpose of the Vital Congregations Initiative is to work alongside leaders of existing congregations continually assessing, discerning and living into faithful actions that increase vitality through intentional spiritual practices that take them deeper into following Jesus Christ, so that their own lives are changed, congregations are transformed, and the mission of God spreads throughout particular communities and the world.
