Our Vision
Vision
Purpose: To demonstrate the infinite value of the living God
Mission: The mission of Good Shepherd Community Church is to make and become authentic worshipers of the living God through Jesus Christ.
Vision: Good Shepherd Community Church believes that a life of faith must be a life of worship. We are driven by the truth that our chief duty and the source of our deepest satisfaction is the worship of the living God. While there are both individual and corporate expressions of worship, worship is essentially anything we do that demonstrates our value of God. All people - whether religious or not - worship something. The sad fact in our world is that things such as material goods and human relationships receive our worship, rather than the true God. The good news for East Dallas is that God is calling people from all walks of life, social classes, and races to come together as His church to worship Him. We fervently believe that the only hope for our community is found in obedience to the good news of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Bolstered by this truth, we will strive with all our might as God’s people to be messengers of His salvation to our world.
- By God’s grace alone, our church and community will cherish the triune God of the Bible above all other competitors for their affection.
- By God’s grace alone, those in our church and beyond will cherish their relationship to the local church as a vital part of their lives.
- By God’s grace alone, our church will give themselves in acts of service toward each other and community acts of service that will compellingly testify to the reality of the saving power of Jesus Christ.
- By God’s grace alone, our church will be so captivated by the amazing grace of the gospel that she will share this good news of grace both at home and abroad.
