LYNDALE’S VISION SUMMARY

Always praying for God’s guidance towards His will for Lyndale, knowing that because of the advancing age and declining numbers of the congregation, we must make plans for the future in order to continue to exist. We can continue to contribute to God’s work in North Chesterfield and Richmond.

 

We can’t stop getting older; but we can learn to grow younger. We need to make changes in order to do the work God’s calling us to do, make adjustments to our preferences and take appropriate risks to reach new people.


Lyndale will be a blessing to a church that is in need of a facility and the resources we have to offer. We will continue, and enhance our focus on our mission of feeding the hungry and providing for those in need. Lyndale will be on a journey to arrive at the fulfillment of our vision. This will be a long process that will take planning, time, work and commitment. It will take sacrifices and concessions. The process may shift over time as we complete tasks and course-correct so that we can stay on track moving forward.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

Our vision for the next 3-5 years is to be and grow the church God has called us to be by mee􀆟ng real needs in the community (with a focus on food insecurity and prayer) in a way that leads to growth toward Jesus for the first 􀆟me or a life􀆟me.

 

We dream of serving over 5000 meals in the next 3 years, offering up over 500 prayers for the spiritually hungry and see God move in at least 50 testimonies of changed lives from the meals and prayers.

 

In order to help us reach our goal and transfer our faith and ministry legacy to the next generation we will also seek a partnership with a Baptist church plant committed to the Lyndale area and compatible with our vision to meet real needs in our community with a goal of a lasting partnership and eventual adoption in the 5-10 year window.
