Our Vision
A picture of the future we are building together — by faith, for the glory of God.
A Vibrant Church Renewing the Warburg Region and Beyond
To be a Spirit-led church where people of all ages and backgrounds are welcomed, discipled, and sent out to transform the Warburg region for the glory of God — with families strengthened, lives restored, and hope ignited from our village to the ends of the earth.
Four Pillars of Our Vision
The commitments that give concrete shape to the future we are building.
Radical Welcome
We envision a church known in Warburg as a place where every person — regardless of background, story, or past — experiences unconditional welcome and genuine belonging. The table of Jesus is wide, and we intend to reflect that width.
Deep Discipleship
We envision a congregation of growing disciples — people who are not merely attending church but being genuinely changed by the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, and who are intentionally investing in the growth of others.
Community Transformation
We envision Warburg and the surrounding region renewed by the presence of the Kingdom of God — families healed, relationships restored, and our community marked by an uncommon generosity and care for one another.
Global Mission
We envision a church with a local address but a global heart — one that prays, gives, and goes in partnership with the C&MA's global mission network, extending the reach of the Gospel to communities that have never heard.
Next Generation Impact
We envision a church that is successfully passing faith to the next generation — where children, youth, and young adults are not on the margins of church life but at its very centre, equipped for a lifetime of following Jesus.
Prayer & Spiritual Vitality
Undergirding every other pillar is a commitment to prayer. We envision a praying church — one where dependence on God is not a last resort but the first instinct, and where the Spirit's presence is tangibly felt in every gathering and every life.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!"— Ephesians 3:20–21 (NIV) — the vision behind our vision
Where Mission Meets Vision
Our mission and vision are two sides of the same coin. The mission answers the question why do we exist? The vision answers the question what are we building toward?
The mission is timeless — it reflects the unchanging calling of the Church in every age and every place. The vision is directional — it describes what faithful obedience to that mission looks like here, in Warburg, Alberta, in this particular season of our church's history.
Together, they orient everything we do — from Sunday worship to weekday service, from pastoral conversations to board decisions, from children's programs to global partnerships.
