Community Group Leaders
Vision
As Village Church, we desire to glorify God by seeing Annandale and our surrounds, growing as disciples of Jesus by:
Growing Village in depth and numbers (200 new disciples, to reach 501 each Sunday)
Sending 2+ people per year into fulltime ministry
Strengthening God’s kingdom beyond Village
Our big prayer is that we might more deeply love, honour and trust the Lord Jesus, and that God’s love for us might move our minds, hearts, godly desires and emotions that we would give him our lives, our souls, our all.
