At IGNITE - we have a vision for, and exist to:
IGNITE a genuine, radical love for the real Jesus, out of the revelation of His great love for us in the giving of His son, the ultimate expression of love from the Father and the fullness of what we are called to be like as the people of God. Worship that is pure, non-self seeking, brining a revelation of our identity as the Bride of Christ, and promoting the name and fame of Christ alone.
IGNITE a desire for the unity of the brethren locally, birthed not out of doctrinal compromise or uniformity, but of Christ's own desire and purpose in the church for all things to be summed up in Christ. While it is recognized that genuine differences exist and may need rectification by one means or another, a deep love for Jesus, His Word, and all people is the basis for which all truth may be imparted.
IGNITE a clear, biblical understanding of the "signs of the times", the season and generation into which we've been born to live, and how the Church, the nation of Israel, and all nations play a distinct yet intertwined role in God to "prepare the way" for the second-coming (through the purification of the bride of Christ, the salvation of Israel, and the gospel proclaimed to the four corners of the earth) of our Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign from Jerusalem over all nations (Psalm 2) for a thousand year period.
IGNITE an understanding of the distinctives of revival; historically and biblically, so as to promote a vision of who God is and what He does for His glory alone through His Holy Spirit. With all the talk of revival, a clear and poignant message on what true revival is, can and will be in the days to come, and looks like in the earth.
IGNITE a sincere love for the Word of God not only as a theological treatise, but as the primary source of revelation of the man Jesus and the understanding of His ways. There has been attack in the area of the Word of God, but a clear call to return to the Holy-Spirit inspired, live-giving, church-building, salvation-bringing, Jesus-glorifying Word of the Lord.
IGNITE a greater consecration to seeking God campus-wide, to hear His voice and call on His name to bring repentance, salvation, and transformation of the area, even unto the nations of the earth as the sovereign Lord calls.
IGNITE a Holy Spirit-led network of connections between the local body of Christ and the national and international ministries that are expanding the cause and fame of Christ here and abroad, so that they may be continually equipped, challenged, and connected to what God is doing in all of the earth. We pray the God would lead every person according to His desire and will unto their obedience, Christ's glory, and their mutual pleasure and intimacy.
