Vision

Sunnyvale EFC Church Plant
An emerging church

We have a vision to start a new church
Where people love Jesus
Worship Him in spirit and truth,
grow in their faith
and share Christ with others,
welcoming and loving
people who need Jesus
in a multi-cultural context

A place where you will personally encounter the Living God.

Jesus is what its all about. He is our Saviour! He is the Lord of lords and King of Kings. There is no other no greater. He is totally awesome. He is reliable and trustworthy faithful who knows us sees us and understands. He cares and loved us so much laid down his life for us and rose again. He is no cardboard figure to be kept on a shelf. He is living and powerful. He interrupts our routines and even our plans. We love Jesus because he first loved us. His love for us is immense and deep and real. We have a vision where people know how much Jesus loves them and bask in his love and express their love for him

Jesus is God and deserves our worship. Our Father God is looking for worshippers who will worship in spirit and truth. We will concentrate on worship that is spiritual and truthful not just going through the motions. An expressive worship that engages our heart and mind and soul. A celebrative worship that celebrates who God is and what God has done, is doing, and continues to do. A reflective worship seeking God and a close connection and intimacy.

Growing in faith. Faith comes by hearing the message. Faith is active. By faith we live and act. By faith we can do great things—Jesus promised. By faith we can suffer. By faith we can be victorious. In a church plant setting faith is a driving factor. We are immediately placed in a position where trusting God is not a option. We see the fruit of our labors and the disappointments on a regular basis. In our small groups we learn to trust God making new friends and serving and caring for one another. In our community, we learn to stretch to care for neighbors or people we’ve never met and share the good news of Christ. In our family and work we learn that faith is integral part of our lives that encourages us through our stress and struggles, our joy and triumphs.
