Winkler Mennonite Church

Mission Mission Statement Our mission is to be obedient to God, helping each one to become followers of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Vision Statement Vision is not reality or what is. Vision is all about our dreams and aspirations or what could be. At Winkler Mennonite Church We envision sharing the good news of Christ’s death and resurrection, befriending people, the goal being that all have an opportunity to accept Christ as their Saviour. We envision developing all our people into fully functioning followers of Christ through active congregational participation in worship, and all other Church activities. We envision that we support and encourage the development of a balanced Pastoral leadership team that is able to serve the spiritual needs of our church family. We envision becoming a church where people model biblical community; a safe place where we accept one another and are accepted, love and are loved, shepherd and are shepherded, encourage and are encouraged, forgive and are forgiven, serve and are served. We envision helping all people in our fellowship to discover and develop their gifts so that they are equipped to serve Christ effectively in some ministry either within or beyond our church. Our goal is that every believer share his/her ministry. We envision being a body of believers that leads in the development of Christ-centered marriages, families, as well as work and social relationships. We envision recruiting, training and sending those called by God as missionaries, church planters and church workers all over the world, whether short or long term. We envision our entrusted facility to be used to serve us and our community with Christ-centered functions fostering programs such as Sunday school, worship services, youth functions, small groups, Bible study, prayer and other meetings. We envision that we develop an organizational structure that will help us to effectively govern the mission and vision of Winkler Mennonite Church. We desire to grow as God leads us and uses us to reach a lost and dying world. We envision being a body of believers that prayerfully discerns God’s will in everything we do. We envision being a church that claims the victory in Christ and overcomes the world.
