OUR PURPOSE &
STYLE
Our Vision:
for First Avenue to be a Spirit-Empowered,
21st century church that impacts
Chilliwack and the world beyond with the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
Five Words That
Describe Our Vision:
o Word:
Spirit-anointed proclamation of God’s holy
word that produces mature disciples,
grounding them in Christ. (2 Timothy 4:2)
o Work:
Spirit-enabled service accomplished through
the releasing of God-given gifts and
abilities in every member in the Body of
Christ (1 Cor. 12:7)
o Witness:
Spirit-empowered witness that declares and
demonstrates the gospel locally and globally
(Acts 1:8)
o Worship:
Spirit-driven obedience to God’s word,
devotion to impassioned prayer, and
exaltation in vocal praise make our lives
pleasing sacrifices to God (Rom 12:1)
o Warmth:
Spirit-breathed love and fellowship that
create an atmosphere where people sense they
are welcomed and cared for (John 13:34)
Our Mission
Statement
“First Avenue
exists to passionately discover, declare,
and demonstrate
the heart of God.”
Our Style
We seek to be
a church that is excellent in all we do,
empowered by the Spirit, and contemporary or
relevant to the needs of today’s world.
We also seek to be a Family-Oriented Church.
There is something here at First Avenue for
everyone. Our ages span from infancy to
those in their 80’s! It is a great place for young families, empty-nester families,
families-to-be, and for those that don’t
have a family but would like to be part of a
big one! Relationships here are some of the
most meaningful possible.
