an we imagine what will happen
if we, as a community of churches,
ministries, and business people in
Greater Columbia & the Midlands, com-
mit ourselves to togetherness and unity in
order to see Christ's Kingdom expanded
in our communities?
What will happen if we, those bound to-
gether by the redemptive work of Jesus
Christ, decide to be one united, inclusive
Body of all evangelical churches, ministries
and business people rather than exclusive,
individual groups?
Can we imagine what will happen if...?
...we seek rst the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness in all we do, maintain
Holy Spirit enabled relationships, and
commit to pursue His will for our com-
munities.
...we seek to exalt Jesus Christ, yield to
His supremacy as the Head of the Church,
and strive in the power of the Holy Spirit
to glorify God the Father as we walk in
Christian love and unity for the advance-
ment of His Kingdom.
...we commit to pray regularly for bibli-
cal unity, revival, spiritual awakening and
transformation in the churches of Greater
Columbia & the Midlands, so the Triune
God receives the glory!
...we choose to walk together in a Christ
an we imagine what will happen
if we, as a community of churches,
CAN WE IMAGINE?
A dream for the city
honoring way in our communities to
spread the Gospel of the Kingdom of Je-
sus Christ, regardless of what it may cost
us true to our promises and just in our
dealings; faithful in keeping commitments
and exemplary in conduct; and committed
to righteousness and justice.
Can we imagine what will happen if...?
...we commit, in a spirit of humility, to
communicating to each other what we hear
the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church in
our city and region.
...we commit to not using our unity and
each other to further "our" churches, min-
istries and personal agendas, but rather to
lifting up the name of Jesus Christ to the
glory of God as we work together across
church, ministry, denominational, and ra-
cial boundaries.
Can we imagine if...?
...in view of our mutual concern for the
Church of Jesus Christ, we commit to
watching over each other in brotherly/
sisterly love; remembering each other in
prayer; giving aid and comfort in sickness
and distress; and cultivating genuine Chris-
tian concern for each other in gentleness,
slow to take o ense, but always ready for
reconciliation, mindful of our Lord's word
to secure and maintain harmony without
delay, for His name's sake.
C
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, what we can only imagine, we know
to be both Your holy call to our spirits and Your holy will for our
lives. Grant us grace to joyfully and obediently walk therein.
