The Bible says in Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.". Another definition of the word perish is "to cast off restraint". We also see in Habakkuk 2:2, "Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it…” God has given our pastor a vision to reach and impact our community, and we have seen God move in us to fulfill it! Our vision is as follows...

1. To be a house of prayer and worship for all nations, creating an atmosphere saturated and permeated with the presence, power and Glory of Almighty God.
(Mark 11:17, Isaiah 56:7)

2. Build the church through spirit-led evangelism.
(Mark 16:15-20)

3. Make disciples that will have an impact for Jesus in the home, neighborhood, work place, city, state, nation and world.
(Matthew 28:18-20)

4. Develop leaders by mentoring Godly character, ethics, etiquette, integrity, honor, humility, loyalty and faithfulness.
(1 Timothy 3:1- 8, 4:6)

"Go teach my people faith"

Jesus spoke to Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin early on in his ministry and said, "Go teach my people faith". That same call is still being fulfilled around the world, and here in Reno today! Jesus again spoke to Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin and said “Start a bible School for those called to the ministry and raise up other men and women of God to Go Teach My People Faith”

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach…” Romans 10:8
