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.
