In September 2014 we began casting the vision, examining how to make our dreams a reality by following God’s plan. The vision includes three pillars of action—Relational, Missional, and Caring Ministries. These pillars serve as a framework for building God’s kingdom in the Arlington Heights community and beyond. 

Three simple phrases guide our work: Choose love. Be the light. Change the world.

The framework is now in place. It’s time to Live the Vision. It’s time to fully live out what it means to choose to love God and others by building relationships; to bring God’s light to the least and the lost through mission; and to change the world by caring for all, one person at a time. Join us in this mission by making a commitment to Live the Vision.
