Vibrant Faith Ministries mission is to equip congregations, families and individuals to live a vibrant faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Desired Outcome: Vibrant Faith
We describe people of vibrant faith as AAA Christians. First of all they are authentic. Their trust in Christ, the values they hold, and the behaviors they exhibit are consistent. They are not perfect people, quite the contrary, authentic Christians are people who are aware of their flaws and know they make mistakes. Most importantly, they are people who fully turn to and trust that God forgives them and gives them a new day, every day to live their faith. Authentic Christians ask all the hard questions of God and recognize that faith is sometimes a mystery. They worship, do daily devotions, and serve and love others. They are not Christians on Sunday; they are Christians every day.
Second, people of vibrant faith are available to others. These authentic people make time, especially for young people. They make it a priority to be with the newer generations. They don’t bring an agenda. Rather, they listen to the young, support them and pray for and with them. They give of themselves through the gift of their time.
Third, people of vibrant faith are affirming of others and the gift of life. People, especially young people, don’t always see the abilities and gifts God has given them. Affirming Christians help people see in themselves what seems only a mystery. They point out to young people various ways they can use what God has given them to serve others. Their affirmation is a kind of hospitality to young people. They are always saying, “I see this or that in you!” or “Did you know you have this ability?” or “What you just did could be used to serve God!”
